Heritage Coast Real Estate

Heritage Coast is a real estate brokerage in Costa Mesa that handles home sales, purchases, leasing and property management across Orange County. The firm was founded by Heather Applegate, formerly co-founder and CEO of Mesa Group, and its site describes a full-service marketing package included for sellers, with professional photography, digital promotion and print marketing for every listing. Buyers are represented in negotiations, and investors can have their rental properties leased and managed.

For landlords, the leasing fee is 5% of the first year's rent and covers tenant screening with credit and background checks, move-out inspections and deposit handling. Property management starts at $180 per month and includes rent collection, direct tenant communication and maintenance coordination through a vetted vendor list. The office is at 890 Baker Street in Costa Mesa, and the team says it supports local schools, events and charities.
