Why we recommend Colin Farris for San Juan Capistrano
San Juan Capistrano is a small city with an unusually wide spread of homes. Redfin's figures for ZIP 92675 over the three months to September 2026 put the median single-family sale at $1,989,498, while condos sold for a median of $944,972. The same ZIP takes in horse properties near the Riding Park, gated estates off Peppertree Bend and Via Madrina, 1970s tract homes, condos near Del Obispo Street and mobile home parks. Pricing a home here means knowing which of those markets it belongs to.
Colin Farris works the south end of Orange County, where San Juan Capistrano, Dana Point and San Clemente share buyers. His website names those three cities as its featured neighborhoods and carries a San Juan Capistrano guide that describes the city's mix of historic, mid-century and custom homes. That focus, plus a clean license record of 13 years, is why he is our pick for this page. It is a recommendation, not a ranking of every agent in town, so interview at least one other agent too.

The six recent sales shown on his past transactions page are in Dana Point and San Clemente, priced from $2,240,000 to $4,000,000.

Colin Farris's record: sales and reviews
His own reported figures are 151 closed transactions and $139,482,439 in career sales volume over 13 years. He reports an average of 25 days on market, a 100.24% list-to-sale price ratio, 96% of listings closing rather than expiring or being cancelled, and a 9% fall-through rate after an offer is accepted. He also reports that 43% of his listings sold above the original asking price. His About page gives slightly different measures (sellers netting 100.14% of original list price and 28 days to escrow), likely from a different period. We could not check any of these against MLS data, so ask him for the underlying list of sales. He also says he was named Top Individual Producer for his San Clemente office in 2025 and has 81 five-star reviews.
Client reviews of Colin Farris
A Google review from Linda H., a buyer who was living in San Juan Capistrano when she bought in Carlsbad, reads in part: "He scheduled and met with on-site inspectors savings us from driving down there from San Juan Capistrano. He had constant communication with both escrow companies throughout the escrow process."
Scott U., who used him to buy in 2020 and to sell the same house in early 2026, wrote on Google: "Colin helped us sift through the tire kickers and shaky offers. Ended up getting over asking with a great buyer."
Kirsten Z. wrote on Google that he "led me through making decisions without pressuring me at all but instead by giving me all the information I needed to feel confident in my choices."
How Colin Farris works with San Juan Capistrano buyers and sellers
Buying in San Juan Capistrano with Colin Farris
Homes in the city are taking longer to sell than in much of Orange County. Redfin's three-month figures to September 2026 show a median of 49 days on market in San Juan Capistrano, against 34 days in San Clemente and 47 days countywide in September. That leaves room to negotiate on homes that have sat. One reviewer describes him writing to 24 homeowners in a community she wanted, introducing her as a buyer before any home was listed. Ask him whether that approach fits your search, how he checks equestrian easements, septic systems and private road agreements on the city's larger lots, and which listings have already had price cuts.
Selling in San Juan Capistrano with Colin Farris
Citywide, homes sold at 98.83% of list price on average over the three months, and 20.8% sold above list. With 2.6 months of supply, buyers have choices, so condition and pricing matter. Reviewers say he arranged contractors, estate-sale firms and staging for sellers. Ask for a written marketing plan, three recent sales near your street that support his price, and how he would handle a home that needs work. Our California real estate commission guide explains what listing fees usually cover, and the how to sell a house in California guide sets out the steps.
