Star Real Estate’s Donna Horn Brings Snow to Surf City’s Seagate
Donna Horn
While coastal Orange County enjoyed a balmy, sunny Saturday before Super Bowl XLVI, tons of snow fell at the Surf City community of Seagate, just 2 miles from the coast in Huntington Beach. Hundreds of residents showed up with inner-tubes, saucers, mittens and boots for an afternoon of sliding and snowballs in the neighborhood’s central park and greenbelt.
Donna Horn, a 13-year veteran Realtor with Star Real Estate, sponsored the event which included 5 tons of snow for a toddler play area in addition to the 35 tons groomed for four runs on the park’s hillside. Thirty gallons of cocoa and water, along with plenty of cookies, kept the crowd energized all day.
A resident of Seagate herself, Donna has enjoyed hosting community events in this neighborhood for 13 years. It’s a way for neighbors to get together for some fun with family and friends. Every season has a reason for an event in the beautiful community park, a 13-acre open space with a playground, a basketball court and protected wetlands. The 4-acre Peter Green Park also includes a tot lot and basketball, volleyball and tennis courts.
In the spring, children look forward to finding thousands of eggs hidden in the park for the annual Seagate Easter egg hunt. Summer events have included Big-Screen outdoor movies, picnics and Olympic competitions. It’s not fall without a “Halloweenie roast.” And winter holidays mean a visit from Santa with sleigh rides, the Academy for the Performing Arts holiday choir, or this year’s “day in the snow” — without the drive to the mountains!
Seagate is bordered by Goldenwest Street, Ellis Avenue, Main Street and Garfield Avenue. It includes the communities of Promenade, Cape Ann, Greystone Keys, Crystalaire, Bel Air and Sherwood. These neighborhoods offer a variety of home styles and floorplans ranging from 1,250 to 3,186 square feet.
If you’re considering coastal Orange County for your next home or investment, call Donna, the area’s real estate specialist, at 714-746-1670. Donna began her real estate career in 1999 and was an immediate Top Producer at Star Real Estate, and has been every year since. She was again honored with special recognition by Orange Coast Magazine in its selection of Orange County “Top Real Estate Agents – Highest in Service & Overall Satisfaction” who provide exceptional service and overall satisfaction. A 34-year Huntington Beach resident, Donna specializes in the Seacliff and Landmark communities. She is an experienced agent of short sales and income properties as well as equity home sales. She would love to show you what the wonderful beach-close communities of Huntington Beach and Fountain Valley have to offer.

Josie Jellick
On a list of “who’s who” in real estate agents, Josie Jellick is consistently at the top. Jellick has been helping clients buy and sell their homes in Southern California since 1987. Since then, she has held her place among the Top 10 percent of real estate agents at Star Real Estate. Jellick was the top agent in her office last year.
Jellick is a seasoned professional, but even she was surprised when a representative of the A&E television network contacted her last month about her listing in Long Beach. The 1,394-square-foot, two-bedroom, 1.5-bath ranch-style home in a popular Belmont Shore neighborhood was chosen to receive a $20,000 remodel in exchange for its participation in the show Sell This House.
The home, built in 1965, is at 3901 E. Second Street in Long Beach. The open plan has a spacious kitchen, a breakfast nook, a formal dining room and a spacious living room with a fireplace. It also offers direct access to a two-car garage. It is listed at $505,000. An open house is scheduled from 8 to 10 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 1.
A “before” version of the home will be filmed at 8 a.m. Oct. 1. An “after” version, displaying the remodel, will be filmed four days later, at 4 p.m. Oct. 5. Potential buyers will be invited to participate in the Oct. 1 walk-through. They will be invited back Oct. 5 after the remodel. The event is scheduled to air in the 10th season of the show.

Star Real Estate leads the way in cutting-edge technology to serve its clients and agents. When a home is listed with a Star agent, it is instantaneously dispersed to hundreds of local, regional, national and international websites and real estate brokers.
