Orange County — Off The MRKT

Ariana Gaffoglio - Off The MRKT — Ariana Gaffoglio

Leading Orange County, California agent Ariana Gaffoglio is joining OFFICIAL, the new real estate brand and advisory founded by industry veterans Nicole Oge, Richard Jordan, and Andrew Wachtfogel alongside nationally recognized agents Oren and Tal Alexander.

The firm’s operating model is unique in that, unlike traditional brokerage firms, each team has demonstrated extraordinary success in their local market and is among the 1% of agents operating in the region.

Ariana Gaffoglio, a prominent real estate broker and former spearhead of the Eklund | Gomes Team of Douglas Elliman’s Orange County and Las Vegas presence, has recently joined OFFICIAL, the first performance-driven luxury real estate brand and advisory. Gaffoglio has brokered some of the region’s most significant transactions, including the sale of 4130 Calle Isabella, a San Clemente property known as Casa San Mateo, for $33.9M, and a Dana Point property in Strand Beach that set a local record at $23.55M. She brings nearly $200 million of both resales and new development properties to OFFICIAL, spanning locations from Irvine to Newport Beach to Los Angeles.

"I'm proud of everything I accomplished with Eklund | Gomes after successfully building the team’s presence in Orange County and Las Vegas. It is clear that success in our industry will be achieved by the talent one is surrounded by, and I feel fortunate to have been recognized by OFFICIAL and to be joining them on this journey to build the most connected luxury real estate brand in the world,” said Gaffoglio. Along with her team, which comprises veterans Zac Dweck and Kimberly Karney, Gaffoglio will focus on growing OFFICIAL in Orange County with plans to expand into Nevada before year’s end.

OFFICIAL, founded by industry veterans Nicole Oge, Richard Jordan, and Andrew Wachtfogel alongside nationally recognized agents Oren and Tal Alexander, operates in Manhattan, the Hamptons, South Florida, Los Angeles, and Orange County with plans for continued national and international expansion this year. The firm’s unique operating model is based on a curated selection of real estate professionals working within the pinnacle segment of the market, each team having demonstrated extraordinary success in their local market and being among the 1% of agents operating in the region.

“The value of a brokerage brand should not be measured by the number of agents and offices, it should be measured by the quality of each individual carrying the company’s business card. One day very soon, to state you are an OFFICIAL agent will immediately convey to a client that you are operating at a higher level,” said Nicole Oge, Co-Founder, and Chief Growth Officer of OFFICIAL. With Gaffoglio joining the team, OFFICIAL is continuing its quick expansion in the California luxury market after the announcement in January 2023 that top LA agent Tyrone McKillen and his Plus Real Estate Group joined OFFICIAL, bringing experience of over 16 years and record sales of over $1.5 billion.
