Our Story

Based in Newport Beach and serving clients throughout Coastal Orange County, Arbor Real Estate represents a revolution in the luxury real estate market. Here, a select team of high-performance real estate professionals have created a client-centered, digitally-powered brokerage intentionally designed to be small-scale, entrepreneurial, nimble, and - ultimately - better for its clients, agents and the community.

Chris Brigandi founded Arbor Real Estate as a company with its roots firmly planted in the values of community, collaboration and client service. “While our agents are the best in the business, what truly unites us is that we live, work, raise kids, coach sports teams, support local causes and love our communities with an unwavering passion,” he says.

In 2015, Arbor Real Estate expanded to meet the demand for its groundbreaking approach to real estate in markets beyond Newport Beach, including Corona del Mar, Laguna Beach, Newport Coast, Eastside Costa Mesa, and Shady Canyon. Joining Brigandi at Arbor Real Estate are Jon Dishon, Nicole Dishon, Ron Millar and Rob Montgomery. In addition, Kristin Barry continues as the firm’s broker of record.
