Colin Delaney

Colin Delaney Costa Mesa, CA Real Estate Agent Headshot

Colin Delaney

I’ve been doing real estate now for more than 22 years, and I’m exceptionally proud of the track record that I have. I always strive to get my sellers top dollar when I sell their homes, and I always try to squeeze out the lowest possible price when representing a buyer. I have personally represented more than 300 sellers and overseen more than 900 transactions as a broker at GateHouse Properties. 

Be sure to browse the list of homes, condos, and residential investment properties that I have sold. A few are outside of Costa Mesa, yes, I know other local areas pretty well, too.

Need a Realtor?

If you are considering a Realtor, please contact me for a free consultation! I am happy to provide lots of references (or reviews) from past clients, and my results above speak for themselves. 

My career previous to real estate, was in software, working for several large firms, including a Fortune 500 information services company, and prior to that, I spun around the world, traveling the professional tennis circuit.

Aside from actively selling real estate, I am the managing Broker and President of GateHouse Properties, which I selfishly believe to be the best real estate firm in Costa Mesa.

Testimonials

"Colin Delaney with Gatehouse Properties helped us sell and buy our new home. His service exceeded our expectations! He is a very professional and experienced real estate agent who works hard to satisfy all his clients' needs. Colin was always present every step of the way in our two transactions, making sure that everything went smoothly for both sides. From our previous experience with other agents, Colin Delaney is by far the best! What makes his service stand out is his deep knowledge of the market, his strong negotiation skills, and his proactiveness. Our home in Mesa Verde, Costa Mesa was sold in one day with the best buyers ever. The first family who walked into our house fell in love with it and were the ones who bought it! Also, a big shout-out to Chrisie Shaia, one of Colin's top agents, who represented him at the showing. Colin helped us with our home staging consultation with one of the best interior designers in Orange County. Her suggestions and recommendations were extremely helpful. Although it's always stressful to sell and buy at the same time, Colin made our experience easy and enjoyable by coordinating both transactions simultaneously. He has become a lifelong family friend!"

"Colin does an incredible job in all aspects of real estate. We have worked with Colin on both property management and the sale of our property. Colin sat down with us to ensure he had a clear understanding of our goals and expectations. In each instance, he made sure to keep our goals front of mind as we worked to develop and implement our strategy for selling our home. He was open and honest in communicating the market conditions and setting us up for success. We were thrilled with the marketing of our home and the end result of selling over our asking price. Colin did an excellent job of building a trusting relationship."

"Colin Delaney is a total pro. He helped me rent out my father's house while I moved him into a care facility in the East San Diego area close to myself and my wife. Colin took care of everything. Issues came up at the house and they were dealt with quickly and at what I know was a fair price charged by the workmen who handled them. For over five years, until my dad passed away, Colin took care of his house. The income allowed my dad to live in a first-class facility. When he passed and I needed to sell the house, Colin took care of that also. Essentially, I can and do highly recommend Mr. Delaney as both a property manager and a real estate agent. Honestly, I don't know what more I can tell you. Note that they want to know the "year" of service, but my relationship, as noted above, was over five years, so I picked one."

"John was awesome. He was attentive and proactive throughout the entire process. If we had any questions, he was quick to get back to us and if he didn't have the answer, he would find it and get back to us. John is highly recommended."

"John is absolutely great to work with. Not only is he a competent, honest and knowledgeable realtor, his positive demeanor, combined with his sense of humor, took the stress out of our home-buying process. He was responsive, patient and guided us throughout our search. After five-plus months of looking for a home, I am convinced John's approach helped us get our offer accepted, even though the seller had multiple offers, some of which were higher than ours. I would highly recommend John for all your real estate needs."

"John is an excellent agent. He is very professional in his approach and a great communicator. From the beginning, he took the time to understand my needs and always looked out for my best interest. He does his homework and is very prepared. He analyzes neighborhood trends and provides helpful information to help make the best decisions. Strong in negotiating and concise in how he presents offers, he is also convincing when selling to other agents. Highly recommend. You won’t be disappointed."

"Christie was amazing to work with! She's got a great eye for detail and is excellent with communication. She's very honest and ethical and we would definitely work with her again in the future. She helped us sell my FIL's home and it was quite a process for us, from decluttering it, fixing it up for sale, and then negotiating the final sale price, but Christie was there with us every step of the way. She's very caring and always offers to help, going way above and beyond. If you are lucky enough to work with Christie on your home purchase or sale, you should feel confident that you are getting a top-class realtor on your side who will fight for what you want."

"As first-time home buyers, Christie ended up being our dream realtor. We truly could not have asked for a better home-buying experience, especially in this competitive market. Christie made the process simple, efficient and enjoyable with her knowledge and expertise. We are so grateful for her attention to detail, communication and follow-up. On a house that had 19 offers on the table, Christie was the reason why our offer was the chosen one. For this, we are forever thankful."

"I would give Kelly more than five stars if I could. He worked like a horse to make the process as easy as possible for us. No complaints whatsoever! Happily did multiple open houses. Great advice, both from Kelly and his associates, Colin Delaney and Leslie Rothmans."

"We are so glad we worked with Allen. We had originally started with one realtor who just wasn't a good fit for what we needed, causing us tons of stress. We switched over to Allen and immediately felt at ease through the buying and selling process. He has a great way of explaining things clearly, and he is super responsive and available. He always had our best interest at heart and would give honest feedback while allowing us the space to come to our own opinions on a potential new home. Allen is definitely someone we recommend working with!"
