About

The Polito Group is a luxury residential real estate sales team headquartered in Orange County, California and operating under the brokerage Human Element Real Estate. Founded by Simon Polito, a globally recognized real estate professional, auctioneer, television host, and runway model, The Polito Group was established with a clear and unwavering mission: to deliver results for Southern California homeowners that traditional real estate approaches simply cannot match.
Simon Polito brings more than 25 years of experience in real estate sales and marketing to every transaction, with a career sales volume exceeding one billion dollars. Born in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, and shaped by a rich cultural heritage with roots in Calabria, Italy and Tripoli, Lebanon, Simon has cultivated deep personal and professional connections across multiple continents throughout his career. His international ties span Europe, the Middle East, Australia, and the Asia Pacific region, giving The Polito Group direct access to a genuinely global network of qualified buyers, investors, and real estate professionals.
This international reach is a defining advantage for every seller who works with The Polito Group. While most real estate teams rely exclusively on local and domestic buyer pools, The Polito Group actively markets Southern California properties to international audiences, attracting buyers from Italy, Lebanon, Australia, the United Arab Emirates, and across Europe and the Asia Pacific corridor. Foreign nationals, expatriates, and international investors looking to acquire luxury residential real estate in Southern California are a consistent and active segment of the buyer pool that The Polito Group brings to the table.
Simon's multicultural background and multilingual professional network allow The Polito Group to communicate directly and authentically with international buyers in a way that most domestic real estate teams are simply not equipped to do. This cultural fluency, combined with a sophisticated understanding of international buyer motivations and purchasing behaviors, gives sellers represented by The Polito Group a meaningful competitive advantage in the marketplace.
The Polito Group serves homeowners across Newport Beach, Irvine, Costa Mesa, Rancho Santa Margarita, and surrounding Southern California communities. The team's client base spans homeowners from all walks of life who share one common goal: achieving the strongest possible outcome when selling their most significant asset.
At the heart of everything The Polito Group does is a results driven philosophy centered on high impact marketing, competitive buyer engagement, and accelerated sales timelines. The team utilizes a proprietary 28 day accelerated sales campaign model that is engineered to generate maximum buyer activity within a defined and strategic marketing window. By combining local market expertise with global buyer outreach, this approach consistently reduces days on market while creating the kind of competitive buyer environment that produces stronger sale prices and better outcomes for sellers.
The Polito Group's marketing approach combines luxury visual branding, professional photography and video, targeted digital advertising, and international buyer outreach to ensure that every listing receives the level of exposure it deserves, both domestically and across global markets.
The team's brand promise is direct and results focused: the difference between For Sale and SOLD.
