Your Costa MesaREALTOR®.

Gaganjyot Arora is a Costa Mesa REALTOR® with First Team Real Estate and The Moein Group. From Eastside charm to Mesa Verde lots, South Coast condos, and Westside upside — I help buyers and sellers move through Costa Mesa with sharp pricing, smart negotiation, and a calm, organized process.

Why I serve Costa Mesa

Costa Mesa is one of the most underrated markets in coastal OC. You're minutes from Newport's beaches, in walking distance of the best restaurant strip in the county on 17th Street, and still paying meaningfully less per square foot than the cities on either side of you. The trick is knowing which pocket fits your life — they are not interchangeable.

As part of The Moein Group at First Team, I bring serious inventory access, marketing horsepower, and a deep buyer pool to every Costa Mesa transaction — while you still get one dedicated point of contact: me.

Local expertise that actually moves the needle

  • Pocket-level pricing across Eastside, Mesa Verde, Mesa del Mar, South Coast, and Westside
  • Honest read on permitted vs. cosmetic remodels
  • Insight on school assignments across NMUSD
  • Active relationships with Costa Mesa buyers, sellers, and listing agents
  • Lender, inspector, and contractor introductions you can actually trust

Buying in Costa Mesa

Costa Mesa buyers tend to fall in love fast — and overpay just as fast if they aren't careful. I help you separate genuine value from a flip with fresh paint, structure offers that win without overstretching, and avoid the pockets that look great today but won't hold value tomorrow.

  • Personalized MLS search with daily new-listing alerts
  • Pre-MLS and off-market access via The Moein Group
  • Walk-throughs with honest talk on permits, layout, and resale
  • Strategic offer structure tailored to each pocket
  • Closing coordination with zero surprises

Selling in Costa Mesa

Costa Mesa listings reward correct pricing and great presentation. With the right prep — paint, staging, photography, and a clean repair list — homes here regularly sell over ask. With the wrong prep, the same home can sit and chase price reductions for months. I run the full playbook so it doesn't.

  • Pocket- and plan-specific CMA — not a generic Zestimate
  • Pre-listing prep, staging guidance, and contractor coordination
  • Professional photography, video, and digital marketing
  • MLS exposure plus our private buyer and agent network
  • Disciplined negotiation focused on net proceeds
