Irvine CA Mayor Steven Choi Expected to Like Local Residential Real Estate News

Mayor Steven Choi at City of Irvine and the Irvine Chamber of Commerce are hosting annual “Business Luncheon with the Mayor” tomorrow on Tuesday, May 21, 2013.

Dr. Choi is expected to appreciate local businesses in the city, lots of good jobs in the private sector, that Irvine has some of the best public schools in California, that The Irvine Company continues to develop its villages and build new homes, and that Irvine continues to be one of the safest cities with beautiful residential communities in America.

He will probably also like it that REALTORs® and real estate professionals continue to sell more real estate at Irvine as compared with all other cities in Orange County … and most others in Southern California.
