Bankenbush represented both the seller and buyer in the transaction, bringing the property to a successful closing following prior market exposure with other local representation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-136144\" src=\"https:\/\/evertise.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-13-171153.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"310\" height=\"550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/evertise.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-13-171153.png 310w, https:\/\/evertise.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-13-171153-169x300.png 169w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 310px) 100vw, 310px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The closing represents a significant transaction for Bankenbush and his continued work within the luxury residential market of Newport Beach and coastal Orange County.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before Bankenbush assumed the listing, 218 E Oceanfront had previously been marketed by two other local real estate agents. Bankenbush subsequently took over the assignment and worked with the seller on the property&#8217;s positioning, marketing strategy and presentation to prospective buyers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The strategy ultimately connected the property with an out-of-area buyer seeking a second home in Newport Beach. Bankenbush represented the buyer in addition to continuing his representation of the seller, resulting in the completed $9.25 million transaction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;Luxury real estate is often about finding the right strategy and staying committed to the property until the right buyer is identified,&#8221; said Brad Bankenbush. &#8220;218 E Oceanfront was a special opportunity because of its location directly on the sand, architecture and quality of construction. Representing both the buyer and seller required clear communication and careful execution throughout the transaction, and I am proud we were able to bring both parties together for a successful closing.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>A Newly Rebuilt Residence Directly on the Sand<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Located on a corner lot along Newport Beach&#8217;s Balboa Peninsula, 218 E Oceanfront was completed in 2024 by Burkhart Brothers Construction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The approximately 2,650-square-foot residence includes four bedrooms and three and one-half bathrooms and was designed to capture ocean views from both its main and upper levels. The contemporary exterior incorporates wood, stone, glass and standing-seam metal roofing. The residence also features an indoor-outdoor configuration, beachfront patio and smart-home technology.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The residence&#8217;s position directly along the beach gives it immediate access to the sand and Newport Beach boardwalk while maintaining proximity to the restaurants, harbor and amenities of the Balboa Peninsula.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Its main living area opens to the beachfront through a wall of motorized glass doors, connecting the interior living spaces with an outdoor patio and views toward the Pacific Ocean.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Building a Presence in Coastal Orange County Luxury Real Estate<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The closing adds to Bankenbush&#8217;s portfolio of luxury residential transactions throughout Newport Beach and coastal Orange County.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As part of The Altman Brothers Team, Bankenbush focuses on custom homes and luxury residential real estate throughout Newport Beach and the surrounding coastal communities. His practice emphasizes direct sales, marketing, negotiation and specialized knowledge of custom homes and Newport Beach neighborhoods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For Bankenbush, the 218 E Oceanfront transaction reflects an approach centered on property-specific marketing, direct communication and continued involvement throughout the transaction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;Every property and every client requires a different strategy,&#8221; Bankenbush said. &#8220;My focus is to understand the property, understand what the client is trying to accomplish and stay personally involved throughout the entire process. That approach is especially important in Newport Beach, where two homes only a few streets apart can represent completely different opportunities.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The closing further expands Bankenbush&#8217;s experience representing high-value residential properties and clients across Newport Beach, Corona del Mar and coastal Orange County.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>About Brad Bankenbush<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Brad Bankenbush is a Realtor with The Altman Brothers Team at Douglas Elliman specializing in luxury residential real estate throughout Newport Beach and coastal Orange County.
