I am a Realtor in So Cal, with 18+ years of experience, mainly in the greater Long Beach and Lakewood areas. I have extensive experience in LA & OC Counties, but have worked all over California. So Cal is a tapestry of niche areas, and my specialized expertise also includes Historic Homes ranging from Mid Century Modern to Craftsman, Spanish, Tudor and other architectural styles.I am a detail-oriented person who explains every step of the real estate process, to help educate and guide my clients through the process. I serve sellers with strategic marketing of their homes for the best possible price, and by promoting the value and significance of their niche neighborhood, and historic and architectural attributes. I excel at helping families transition to their next phase in life; purchasing the next dream home, retirement plans, selling a family property in a trust, and much more.I serve buyers by connecting them with homes that meet their standards for lifestyle, aesthetics and design. I have always enjoyed working with first time buyers and move-up buyers, as I vividly remember what it was like to be in their shoes and navigating the home buying process myself.While I do have a very practical side due to my own financial advising experience (spent 7 years in the financial advising industry)and the legal experience of the real estate industry, I aim to be a stabilizing, grounded, empathetic realtor that my clients can trust and rely on for years to come. Trust is key when clients are experiencing anxiety or fear during a complicated real estate transaction.I offer guidance through the entire process. I have a roster of handymen and contractors that can help my clients with any home repair or remodeling needed. I also offer holistic guidance with property, often times helping my clients clear out old energy by saging their properties.My involvement in community and school activities, classic car events, & my volunteer work in historical preservation keeps me closely connected to what greater Long Beach has to offer.
