Just spend a day with Stephen O’Hara and you will see a perfect example of the power of attitude. This upbeat, Southern Californian approaches everything in life with an enthusiasm that is quite infectious. When it comes to Stephen’s passions in life, one only needs to look at his family to see what matters most. As a husband and a father, he has always cherished the moments spent with his wife, Debbie, and daughter, Lauren Ashley. And when it comes to where he would want to raise his family, Stephen would be the first to tell you that there’s no place like Orange County. “Orange County is the BEST part of Southern California,” Stephen explains. “In addition to our nearly perfect climate, there are more things to do here than anywhere else in the World.” A Passion for His Work Stephen’s enthusiasm for his family can only be matched by the passion he has in his work as one of California’s top real estate professionals. But excelling in his work has always been a trait of his. In 1963, at the age of 12, Stephen was name one of America’s youngest entrepreneurs. It’s his love for helping his clients with one of their most important investments, however, and the relationships he develops with them that drives him to do the best job possible. “I do enjoy helping people and I do negotiate fiercely for my clients.” Stephen says. “I've had consistent success in selling expired listings and difficult-to-sell properties. I understand the "art" of putting together the impossible deals.”
