Meital Taub is Continuing to Define Orange County Luxury Real Estate

Meital Taub has defined Orange County luxury real estate with her straightforward, honest demeanor; precise approach to each transaction; and commitment to keeping the client’s best interests at heart. Meital and her team have more than $1 billion in sales, and she has been recognized by national publications such as The Wall Street Journal, which ranks her in the top 0.01% of the 1.5 million agents in the United States. As founder of Meital Taub Luxury Group at one of the nation’s premier brokerages, she received the brokerage’s top honor, The Founders Award, three times and was named to its Hall of Fame. In 2022 alone, the team’s sales topped $272 million. That same year, Meital founded Livel Real Estate, a consultancy designed to inspire buyers, sellers, investors, and agents while serving them at the highest level.

Meital’s impressive statistics have earned her acclaim on a national level, and her professional arsenal includes law and business degrees, along with leadership skills gained as an Air Force captain. However, it’s her strategic, connected, and comprehensive approach to real estate that helps her deliver pinnacle results. Meital’s clients trust her completely because she understands their goals and exceeds their expectations — deftly diagnosing and solving problems with a combination of business acumen, legal savvy, and access to a plethora of exclusive, off-market opportunities. This has resulted in a 99% list-to-sell ratio and a bevy of repeat and referral clients who appreciate her devotion to delivering tremendous value.

Beyond being an expert in Orange County real estate, Meital is a longtime, respected Laguna Beach resident who relishes the coastal lifestyle. Her children attend the city’s public schools, which she supports in various ways, including through SchoolPower — a local school fundraising foundation. Meital has been an integral contributor at SchoolPower since 2010: She has served on the organization’s Honor Roll and board of trustees, and she received the Hall of Fame Award in 2021. Meital also lends her talents and resources to local events and sits on the board of directors for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County and the Inland Empire. But whether Meital is negotiating a complex contract for a client or giving back to her community, she aims to leave a mark on the world: “The goal is to have a lasting impact by making it possible for everyone to live the lifestyle they desire and build the kind of wealth that leaves a legacy.”

Kelly Perkins: Your Coastal Market Specialist

Professional | Persistent | Passionate

Q: What is your favorite part of working in the real estate industry?
A: That is a great question and tough to answer because I love it all. I enjoy assisting my clients through each step of the process and celebrating their success after every transaction. Whether it be the excitement during the initial “field trip” exploring the possibilities of where a family might begin their next chapter or the satisfaction of bridging unique personalities during negotiations to assure a positive outcome for everyone involved. Lastly, I work in one of the most stunning coastal locations in the world.

Q: What qualities or certifications set you apart from other agents?
A: I was one of California’s first “certified” real estate appraisers, specializing in the Laguna Beach market. During the 80’s and 90’s, “I worked for several national lending institutions in and around the surrounding coastal areas of Laguna Beach. This period provided me with a unique perspective and foundation for what many consider an intimidating market here along the coast.

Q: What do you think is the key to your success?
A: No doubt about it. It is hard work, honesty, commitment, and determination, all with a constructive and joyful attitude! My clients appreciate the attention to detail that I provide. This detail has helped pave the way to my success. I stay up to date on the pulse of the market, allowing me to be the best realtor for both my buyers and sellers. Those who know me know my true secret weapon(s) are my husband Craig and little dog “Closer” who constantly support me with a joyful outlook each and every day!

Q: What is the best piece of advice you were ever given?
A: Find and follow your Passion…as it will ignite your enthusiasm that will lead to checking all the boxes in your list of life’s goals.

Q: What life events would you say give you perspective on living each day to the fullest?
A: My life—from catching a virus that led to a heart transplant to subsequently climbing some of the most iconic mountains around the world with my donor’s heart, planted the seed of my belief that there is no “impossible.”
My heart transplant doctors once told me not to worry but rather leave that up to them. I took that advice to heart (no pun intended) and share that same advice to my clients, telling them to leave the heavy lift ing to me. Whether they are out of town or local, I pride myself on having a reputation for taking the helm and navigating each and every critical step of the way so they can enjoy the process.

Q: What is your proudest accomplishment?
A: For sure, taking my donor heart on several amazing adventures and ultimately releasing her ashes on top of a mountain to help fulfill her legacy and express my gratitude for such a life-changing gift ! I believe she would be equally proud of my career accomplishments and those clients I have helped fulfill their dreams, all of which make me feel ALIVE.
