Emerald Bay is not a market you learn.
It’s a market you live.
As a 40+ year resident of Emerald Bay, Harold Noriega is widely recognized as the #1 real estate agent specializing exclusively in Emerald Bay, Laguna Beach. No agent has closed more Emerald Bay sales since 2011, with over $1 billion in verified transactions and, once again, the highest number of sales in 2025.
In 2025, Harold closed more Emerald Bay transactions than any other agent, including:
328 Emerald Bay — $8,250,000
349 Emerald Bay — $6,535,000
300 Emerald Bay — $6,300,000
704 Emerald Bay — $6,950,000 (exclusive off-market sale, closed January 5, 2026)
Documented MLS sales, supplemented by private transactions that never reach the open market—often by design.
Emerald Bay buyers and sellers don’t need market theory.
They need someone who understands view corridors, beach access, architectural pedigree, HOA nuance, pricing psychology, and who is quietly buying next.
Harold’s results have earned consistent recognition as a Top 10 Laguna Beach Realtor and as the leader of a team ranked among the Top 100 Real Estate Teams in California by The Wall Street Journal and REAL Trends.
From oceanfront estates to panoramic view homes and legacy properties, Harold Noriega delivers strategic marketing, disciplined pricing, and discretion—at a level expected by Emerald Bay’s most sophisticated homeowners.
If you are considering selling, buying, or quietly exploring off-market Emerald Bay opportunities, work with the agent who consistently leads the market—without needing to say much about it.
