June Casagrande

CORONA DEL MAR -- Dyson & Dyson real estate, a top name in Newport

Beach home sales, will soon become a Coldwell Banker Residential

Brokerage office.

The two companies have announced they will merge seven of Dyson’s

Southern California offices into residential Coldwell Bankers, creating a

separate company based in San Diego. Bob Dyson, co-founder and co-owner

with his wife, Loraine, will serve as president of the new company. The

new entity will be named Coldwell Banker Dyson and Dyson.

In two to three months, the San Diego-based company will change its

look, sign and all, to reflect the change of ownership. Dyson’s Corona

del Mar office will operate in addition to five Coldwell Banker branches

now operating throughout the city.

“Newport Beach is probably the top market in the country for total

residential volume sales,� said Peter Hernandez, president and chief

operating officer for Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage. “Our whole

goal is to put together the best group of agents possible to serve one of

the most dynamic real estate markets and provide the highest level of

service imaginable.�

In Corona del Mar, Dyson & Dyson is at 2101 E. Coast Highway, Suite

250. It is one of seven Dyson & Dyson offices, along with one in San Juan

Capistrano and five in the San Diego area, to merge with Coldwell Banker.
