"Victoria guided us through a complex bidding situation on our dream oceanfront home. Her negotiation skills saved us $400K, and she connected us with a phenomenal architect before we even closed. We've already referred two friends."

Victoria Sterling
I founded Sterling & Associates in 2010 after recognizing a gap in the Orange County market: high-net-worth clients deserved representation that combined old-school relationship-building with modern marketing and data analysis.
Before real estate, I spent 8 years in private wealth management at Morgan Stanley, which taught me how to listen, ask the right questions, and protect my clients' interests in complex transactions. That background serves me daily—whether negotiating a $15M oceanfront estate or helping a first-time buyer navigate Corona del Mar's competitive market.
Our team has now closed over 450 transactions totaling $2.5B. But what I'm most proud of isn't the volume—it's the referrals. 68% of our business comes from past clients and their friends. That tells you everything you need to know about how we operate.
