(Costa Mesa, Calif., Nov. 2, 2011) Accomplished classical and Celtic harpist, Joanna Mell, shares her story of relocating her family and career to Southern California in the latest video of First Team^® Real Estate's "My Story" campaign.  Her story can be viewed at www.FirstTeam.com/MyStory.

Focusing on the profound, positive impact First Team agents make in their clients' lives, "My Story" videos feature company clients from throughout Southern California recounting how their agents helped them solve problems, overcome challenges or reach personal or professional real estate goals.  The campaign was launched in Sept. in conjunction with the Orange County Register's announcement that First Team had been voted top real estate firm in the newspaper's 2011 Best of Orange County readers'poll.  First Team is California's top ranked, independent, non-franchised real estate company and is ranked eighth in sales volume nationwide, according to RISMedia's most recent Power Brokers Report.

With harsh winters in her native Pennsylvania becoming a growing burden on her flourishing career, Mell moved her home and business to Corona last summer.  Using the company's cutting edge tools and sophisticated data aggregators, agents Kim and Jim Weingarten of the First Team's Corona office found a home in just two days that would accommodate her family and music studio.  They handled all aspects of the transaction while she packed her belongings back east, taking the stress out of her relocation, according to Mell.

First Team's My Story campaign videos are produced by award-winning filmmaker, Tasha Oldham, CEO of My Story, Inc.  Readers are encouraged to submit their own First Team stories on the campaign website, www.FirstTeam.com/MyStory.

A one-of-a-kind home in Fullerton built by craftsman Tom Whaling and listed by First Team agent Cherie Eckley was featured in Sunday's Orange County Register real estate section.

The Fullerton property was inspired by Knott's Berry Farm, Disneyland and Big Sur and resembles a Thomas Kincaid painting.  It has the meticulous attention to detail of artisan homes of long ago, including a 2-inch, solid alder door with a rounded top that swings effortlessly on ball bearings; stone fireplaces; carved, wooden valances; elegant, carved, wooden cabinets and ornamentation that resembles great European chateaus.  The back yard is a wooded fairyland adorned with winding paths, bridges and fountains, with an antique tea house at the top of a steep slope overlooking Mt. Baldy.

You'll have to see it to believe it:
