Two Agents, One Standard, and a Track Record That Shows It

Chrissy Reilly and Diane Kutinsky did not set out to build just another real estate team. What they built instead is a partnership rooted in a shared belief that every client deserves full attention, honest guidance, and a result that actually reflects the effort put in. Since forming their team under Compass, they have become one of the most recognized names along the Orange County coastline, and the referrals and repeat clients that keep coming through the door are proof that the standard they hold themselves to is not just talk.

What makes this team work is not simply that their skills complement each other, though they do in ways that are genuinely rare. It is that they both show up the same way every single time. The first-time buyer getting into their starter home in Fountain Valley receives the same level of preparation, communication, and care as the seller listing a multi-million dollar estate in Newport Coast. That consistency is something clients notice and something they talk about long after the keys have changed hands.

Together, Chrissy and Diane have closed over $160 million in career sales, surpassed $40 million in 2025 alone, and earned the OCAR Top Producer Award in both 2024 and 2025. Their listings consistently draw multiple offers and close above asking price, not by accident, but because of a deliberate and proven system for preparing, positioning, and marketing every property they take on. Those results have also earned them recognition at the brokerage level, including the Chairman's Circle, President's Circle, and Rising Star Awards, placing them in the top 2% company-wide at Compass.

If you are thinking about buying or selling anywhere in Orange County, this is the team that will handle everything and then some. They manage the details, coordinate the process, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks so that you can focus on what actually matters to you. Reach out today and find out what working with Chrissy and Diane actually looks like in practice.

THE PROCESS

What Keeps Clients Coming Back

It is rarely just one thing. Clients come back because of the results, the communication, the process, and the feeling that someone was genuinely in their corner from start to finish.

Rooted in the Market

Chrissy and Diane have spent years embedded in Orange County's most active real estate markets. They track pricing shifts, neighborhood momentum, and off-market activity in real time. That ground-level knowledge is not something a client gets from a data dashboard. It comes from agents who are out there every single day working the market they know best, and it consistently translates into better timing, sharper offers, and smarter pricing decisions for the people they represent.

Numbers Worth Noting

Over $160 million in career sales and RealTrends Verified Top team. More than $40 million closed in a single year. Listings that regularly attract multiple offers and land above asking price...

Numbers Worth Noting

Over $160 million in career sales and RealTrends Verified Top team. More than $40 million closed in a single year. Listings that regularly attract multiple offers and land above asking price. These are not vanity figures. They reflect a team that has built a system around getting results and refined it with every transaction. The OCAR Top Producer Award two years in a row did not happen by chance. It happened because their clients keep winning and word keeps spreading.

Present at Every Step

Neither Chrissy nor Diane hands clients off once things are in motion. They stay personally involved through every stage of the transaction, from the first consultation through to closing day.

THE NETWORK

What Working with a Compass Agent Means for You

Compass is the number one brokerage in Orange County, and being part of that network gives Chrissy and Diane's clients a real and measurable advantage.

Compass Concierge fronts the cost of pre-sale home improvements including staging, painting, flooring, and landscaping with no payment required until the home sells. Compass Private Exclusives and Coming Soon programs give buyers early access to properties before they reach the open market.

The Compass platform also connects clients to a nationwide network of agents, buyers, and resources that independent agents and smaller brokerages simply cannot replicate.
