About Our Team

Brent & Marisa Real Estate Group

We know South Orange County the way you hope your agent does.

South Orange County isn't just a market — it's a particular kind of life. It's the fog that hangs over the Laguna hills on a June morning, the way Dana Point Harbor smells on a Saturday, the rhythm of school schedules, trail systems, and local restaurants that regulars don't post about. Brent and Marisa live here. They've raised their family here. And for years, they've helped people find not just the right house, but the right version of this place for them.

The Brent & Marisa Real Estate Group was built on a simple premise: that real estate counsel is only as good as the local knowledge behind it. So they invested deeply — in understanding the nuances between neighborhoods, in tracking what's actually happening in each micro-market before it hits the headlines, and in building honest relationships with clients who deserve more than a transaction.

"We don't have a one-size-fits-all playbook. Every buyer and seller we work with gets our full attention, our unfiltered read of the market, and a strategy built around their specific situation." — Brent & Marisa

Whether you're drawn to Laguna Beach's art colony character and oceanfront estates, the harbor energy of Dana Point, the relaxed coastal rhythm of San Clemente, or the polished, family-centered communities of Mission Viejo and Aliso Viejo — Brent and Marisa know these places in ways that take years to earn. They understand pricing dynamics that don't show up on Zillow, off-market opportunities, and the unspoken factors that separate a sound investment from a compromise.

  • Laguna Beach Coastal estates & art district
  • Dana Point Harbor life & prestige enclaves
  • San Clemente Surf culture & Spanish architecture
  • Mission Viejo Master-planned & family-rooted
  • Aliso ViejoModern living & trail access

They work with buyers relocating from across the country — and around the world — who are discovering this stretch of Southern California for the first time, and with longtime locals navigating a major life transition. In both cases, what Brent and Marisa bring is the same: clear guidance, genuine market fluency, and a real investment in getting it right for you.

Local Depth

Years of on-the-ground knowledge across every community they serve — not skimmed from a market report.

Honest Counsel

Brent and Marisa tell clients what they need to hear, not what they want to. Their reputation depends on it.

Long-term Relationships

Most of their clients come back — and refer their family. That's the only metric that matters to them.

Choosing a real estate team in South Orange County shouldn't be about who has the biggest billboard. It should be about who actually knows what your home is worth, who understands what you're really buying into, and who will still be straight with you six months into a deal when things get complicated. That's Brent and Marisa — and they'd like to show you.

South Orange County is a remarkable place to build a life.
Brent & Marisa would be honored to help you find your place in it.

Our Reviews

I cannot recommend Brent and Marisa enough. They made it easy to sell a house that could have otherwise been a very challenging sale. It was an older house and was in need of a lot of work to get it ready for sale. However, the Whitakers expertly coached me through what repairs and improvements needed to be done, helped me find all the right vendors to do the work, and then went well above and beyond my expectations in helping me coordinate all of the work. In the end, the house sale was painless, and I could not be happier with the results.

We cannot recommend Brent and Marisa enough. From the very beginning, they demonstrated an outstanding level of professionalism, expertise, and dedication. By the end of the process, they truly felt like family. Many weekends were spent house hunting with Marisa and our son would light up as soon as he saw her. As first-time home buyers with a young family, Marisa understood our needs and preferences while also pointing out details we had not thought of. Her responsiveness to our questions made us feel valued and supported throughout the journey. Her and Brent’s commitment to our satisfaction didn't end with the closing of the deal; they continued...

We moved to California from Texas when most people are going the other way Houses in CA are much more expensive than where we came from and we were very uncertain about where we wanted to live and what we could afford. I cannot overstate how amazing the Whitakers, were. Marisa and her husband Brent treated us like family. We worked with 3 agents before them and had struggled to find what we wanted. They were so patient with us. We looked at literally dozens of houses from Brea to Rancho Santa Margarita. We looked at everything from multi-million dollar homes to fixer-upper apartments. The long version of this story includes nearly losing three wheel...
