Full-time California Realtor® since 1996
First Licensed 1986, Tucson, AZ
I'm originally from the East Coast (Massachusetts) but my family and I have made the South Bay our home since 1995 - you just can't beat the weather! I began selling real estate in 1986 in Tucson, AZ where I was consistently one to the top agents in my company and ranked 26th in the State of Arizona. Since staring my real estate business in California I have consistently been a top producing agent.
I've been in the real estate industry almost my entire adult life and I love it! I started in 1986 in Tucson, AZ while attending college. For 3 years, I took a break from real estate to travel internationally as a flight attendant with Pan American World Airways (1988 - 1991). Unfortunately, while I was working on a flight from Costa Rica to Miami in December 1991, PAN AM went out of business...by the time we landed I was unemployed so I stepped right back into to real estate sales.
We pride ourselves on offering the absolute best service to our clients and it shows…over 97% of our business is repeat and referral!
I operate my business in the South Bay of Los Angeles. My team and I have expertise from Playa del Rey through the South Bay and into Long Beach. Need help in another area? Ask us for a referral.
We offer a wide range of real estate industry experience and expertise including real estate sales (residential & investment property); REO/Foreclosure Sales; Pre-foreclosure sales and negotiation as well as short sale experience; property management; note holder(principal) and real estate investor (principal).
