About Us:

I'll give you all the boring background stuff first (!), but be sure to read comments from my clientele below- I am proud to have the best local reputation, but I prefer my happy clients to do the talking for me!!

Colin Delaney, Broker and Co-President of Veranda Homes, founded Veranda Homes with Paul Morgan with the thought that a higher level of service was greatly needed in the coastal Orange County real estate market.
Prior to Veranda Homes, Colin spent nearly four years with Torelli Realty as an associate broker, and while he was there he was a consistent top producer who sold more than $35 Million in listings representing buyers and sellers alike.

Prior to real estate, Colin worked for a Fortune 500 software firm in Southern California as a Territory Manager and also as a Regional Manager overseeing a team of sales executives.

Prior to life in California, Colin was raised on the east coast in Pennsylvania, and attended Furman University on a tennis scholarship.
Immediately after college, Colin chased his dream of professional tennis and played nearly three years around the world in some of the best Association of Tennis Professionals tournaments achieving world rankings in both singles and doubles.
After tennis, Colin settled in California where he met his wife Deanna. Currently they are raising their two boys in their hometown of Costa Mesa.

Client Testimonials:

Screaming Raving Fans!!!

Brooke Walker - What can I say? The best words would be patience, patience and more patience! I doubt that many brokers would have traveled so far around Orange County and hung in so long. I appreciated that you never tried to persuade me into seeing things out of your eyes rather than my own. You were faithful in your continuous updates and did not discourage me from making a lowball offer. Eventually we got exactly what I wanted at the price that I wanted to pay. I was actually more amazed at the way you negotiated $250,000 off of their asking price!!! Each step of the way I was comfortable with your knowledge, patience, and ability to guide me through different areas and housing and give me your honest opinion about the investment I was making in a home. I can't tell anyone enough how great it was to work with you and what a great experience I had working with you Colin! Please use me as a reference for any of your clients.
