FIRST TEAM ® REAL ESTATE | FOUNDED IN HUNTINGTON BEACH IN 1976
Celebrating 47 Years of Putting You First A MESSAGE
FROM OUR FOUNDER
Trusted to represent over 250,000 Southern California families since 1976, it is an honor to celebrate 47 years of putting you first. We’ve persevered and grown through market crashes, economic downturns, and the global pandemic because we adapt to serve the needs of our clients in every market as a stable resource, now and for years to come. Focused on driving value to you, we adjusted quickly last year to help homeowners save with interest rate buy-downs and discounted essential services while supporting local businesses.
As a family-owned company, our agents and their clients are at the center of our business model, ensuring we deliver unparalleled service to achieve their dreams of homeownership and financial freedom. Built on my customer service principles of hard work, commitment, and innovation, First Team® Real Estate has pioneered a repertoire of proprietary tools and strategies that give our agents, and you, their clients, a clear edge over the competition. That means finding buyers the perfect home during a housing shortage, getting offers accepted amid a saturated market, and helping homeowners get more for their home sale with proper staging, improvements, and marketing.
The power of teamwork and a sense of family values have secured our dominant position as California’s top-ranked independent real estate firm. In the following pages, you’ll discover the proven ways we maximize your home’s value, enhance its marketability, and deliver unsurpassed results with accountability.
Thank you SoCal for placing your trust in us, and allowing us to protect your most treasured asset: home. We look forward to another 47 years of putting our market expertise, experience, and the power of our team to work for you.
Sincerely,
CAMERON MERAGE Founder & Chief Executive Officer First Team Family of Companies
