With over 15 years of Realtor experience, I help clients buy and sell real estate in San Diego. Whether it’s a first-time home buyer, homeowners whose housing needs have changed, or a savvy investor, I am dedicated to assisting my clients successfully navigate their real estate transactions. I am also well versed on the new California regulations that allow single and multi-family residents to build Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU’s) on their property with less fees. ADU’s are a great way to leverage your current or future real estate investments to build long-term wealth.

I bought my first home when I was 24 and fell in love with real estate from the minute I walked through the front door. Living in America’s Finest City, I obtained my real estate license in 2003 with the desire to provide my clients the opportunity to experience that same feeling when I hand them the keys to their new home.

I am dedicated to assisting my clients on a seamless transaction whether it’s selling their current residence or purchasing their new dream home. Please do not hesitate to contact me for all your real estate needs.

Brian was a great asset to me when I purchased my first home. He was kind and easy to communicate with while making sure that I had everything I needed to close within 15 days. If he didn’t know something he was always quick to find out and let me know. He was willing to show property at times that fit my schedule, and he found me the perfect home after I saw the first one he showed me, based on my requests, and I bought it. He hit it right on the nose and I couldn’t thank him enough for his attention to my home-buying process.

Another World:

AMAN HOTELS & RESORTS Nestled in desert hills, relaxing in elegant cabanas, you can find the likes of Kylie Kardashian, Ariana Grande, and Justin Bieber taking in the view.

The answer is Amangiri, a luxury lodge in Canyon Point, Utah, that is part of Aman Hotels & Resorts, a high-end boutique hotel company. The fabulous hotels are on the bucket list of almost every traveler.

Besides the coveted Amangiri location, Aman Hotels have also popped up in many other elegant locales. Marrakech, Morocco; Porto Heli, Greece; and Java, Indonesia are a few of its international treasures.

During Nguyen’s honeymoon, she was a guest at Amanpuri, Aman’s flagship resort, in Phuket, Thailand. Private white sand beaches, grandiose pools with palm trees, and gorgeous sweeping staircases were some of her favorites there, she noted.

Aman has a way of finding unique pockets within the United States to implement its refined resorts. Two of the most popular are Jackson Hole, Wyoming in the Teton Mountains, and Midtown Manhattan in New York.

"All over the globe, the brand is creating its own worlds of luxur y."

Tom Cahalan, the director of Dorsia Travel, a UK-based company, has been traveling to luxury hotels for over 15 years and still raves about his vacation to Aman NYC. When speaking to Homes & Estates, he said that he’s visited over 20 Aman hotels over the course of his role at Dorsia.

Aman NYC is in the center of Manhattan, situated in the iconic Crown Building. It’s a breath of fresh luxury in the middle of the bustling streets.

Highlights here include a year-round garden terrace at the original spa location. Cahalan notes that the expansive treatments, the indoor pool, and the outdoor terraces in the spa simply cannot be missed.

Aman actually houses some of the most spacious suites in the whole city. It’s a large feat in the ever-evolving Manhattan.

Through its unique offerings, impressive locations, and more-thanaccommodating staff, Aman Hotels & Resorts is clearly making a name for itself. All over the globe, the brand is creating its own worlds of luxury.

“There is a top-notch level of service that the Aman brand has to offer that no one has been able to achieve in the same manner,” Nguyen says. “Not only that, but their properties are absolutely breathtaking, and thoughtfully chosen.”
