The most important thing you need to know is that I love my job and I love to help people.
My love for real estate started when my husband and I bought a flower shop on Balboa Island using a form we bought at an office supply store. There we sat, negotiating with and helping the old owner finally realize her dream of retirement, and I got to start out as a young woman owning my first business. It hit me at that moment how powerful buying and selling real estate could be and how it could change lives. Four years later it was time for a change and there I sat negotiating and selling a business. This time, however, I was on the other side of the table. The real estate agent we hired was not meeting our needs and made us feel insignificant. So, once again, it was up to us to do the negotiating, nurturing, and planning to see the deal through to completion. It was challenging but very rewarding and from that moment on I was hooked. Selling the flower shop allowed my husband and me to fulfill our dream of moving to the Crestline/Lake Arrowhead area to "get away from it all" and start a whole new life.
Shortly after this experience the market peaked and I was led to start buying and selling investment properties. I came quickly to the conclusion that I needed to get my real estate license so I could provide the customer care that was so sorely lacking. It has become my sole purpose since acquiring my license to help people the way I wished I would have been helped during that time.
I have recently moved down the mountain and now pull from my 7yrs of real estate experience and knowledge to help you meet your short and long term investment, personal, and family needs all over the Inland Empire. I help you see the true potential and value of a home and then consult with you on design and staging ideas for future resale and present enjoyment. I have weathered the storm of this volatile market and now can pass on what I have learned through the process to help you negotiate and navigate the various types of transactions that are now commonplace such as REO's and Short Sales along with new construction, probate, and standard sales as well.
This experience has brought me together with some of the top people in the industry that can help you find the best finance, title, escrow, and short sale negotiating options that are available. This allows me to have a team of the most amazingly talented people that utilize systems, precise scheduling and planning to make your transaction seamless and painless.
I am constantly seeking education, cutting edge technologies and information that I can pass onto my clients, and always, humbly, remembering that learning never ends. I truly believe that I am not a salesperson but that I am here to serve, compassionately seeking first to listen and understand so I can help you meet your ultimate goals and dreams.
My clients have become like family and it has been such an honor to serve them. I make sure my clients feel protected, secure and fully taken care of through the whole process (and even afterward.) It is hard to call what I do a "job" because it brings me such joy. I hope to have the opportunity to help you and your family fulfill your dreams as well.
