“I worked with Amy when I bought my condo in 2011. It was my first purchase, and a short sale at that! It was a long and complicated process, but she was an absolute rock star the whole time. Answered every little question I had, and got me such a great deal on my condo. I am so grateful for Amy, and would highly recommend her for any and all of your real estate needs!”Joanie B.
“Amy O’Dorisio and her team nailed it again. She helped us sell our house in under a month (cash offer) for more than we asked. This was a bit of a tall order considering what we gave her to work with (short timeline, pets in the house, logistical challenges...). It didn’t matter. Her experience guided us to a quick and painless close of escrow. Amy is always available, always professional, super knowledgeable, not to mention a wonderful person. This is the third time we’ve worked with Amy over the years. It almost seems like each time gets better, though I don’t know how... She was perfect in each transaction. I strongly urge anyone looking to buy or sell in the San Diego area to contact Amy O (amyosandiego.com). She is the real deal.” - Mike M.
“When my wife Ginger and I decided to look into buying our first home, I called a trusted old friend, and volleyball partner named Chris Magill (owner of Aztec Property Inspections) who is one of San Diego’s top home inspectors. I asked Chris for a recommendation of a good Realtor, and he sent me to Amy. Having no idea what we were in for, we started the search for our first home. In the interest of time I will give you the condensed version of our experience …. For two months, with Amy’s guidance, and support, we searched tirelessly for what would eventually be our new home. Amy went to bat for us right away, trying to separate us from the group of 16 who put offers in on this short sale house in the three days it was on the market. Fast forward 7 more months. After countless roadblocks, pitfalls, the inevitable delays they caused, and the stress that accompanied them, we finally got the word that we would soon be able to make this house our home! Each time this deal almost fell through, Amy was there to save it. From the unique way she presented our offer in the beginning, to the letters she wrote to the banks on our behalf in the 11th hour, Amy always found a way to succeed where others, I am convinced, would have failed. Having someone who genuinely cares about our lives help us through this trying time was a blessing. Amy O’Dorisio is not only one of San Diego’s most respected Realtors, but through this process has become a truly valued friend.” - Jeff C.
“Buying a house with Amy was such a pleasure. Helping us choose the right neighborhood, navigate the lending juggernaut, the title process, tax issues, and closing, she was always ready and available to take a phone call or email with our many questions. I liked her Docu-Sign software enabling us to do the paperwork over the Internet. Especially, though, we enjoyed knowing her, and having a cheerful and knowledgeable person with us during our search and closing. Many thanks.” - Ed C.
“I dreaded the thought of finding a real estate agent & my fears were confirmed based on my initial conversations with many of them. However, when I met Amy there was no pretension. I felt that we communicated in a very open & affective manner which helped her know what I was looking for & ultimately it helped her work her magic to find my dream home.” - Brent S.
“Amy is extremely professional, yet down to earth and very easy to communicate with. She has a vast knonwledge of the real estate market and readily shares any tidbit of information that may be useful to either buyers or sellers. She whole-heatedly loves what she does and it is apparent that she wants you to get the best home/price you deserve.” - Laurin W.

When Pantone introduced the 2022 Color of the Year, they noted how the periwinkle Veri Peri “blended the faithfulness and constancy of blue with the energy and excitement of red.” In what seems like a worthy evolution, Pantone has stripped out the blue, embracing the vibrancy of red this year. Introducing the 2023 Color of the Year, Pantone 18-1750 Viva Magenta.
A “nuanced” crimson red with a balance between warm and cool, Viva Magenta is “brave and fearless, a pulsating color whose exuberance
promotes optimism and joy,” says Pantone. They describe the color as empowering, animated, electrifying, boundaryless, audacious, witty, and perfect for “anyone and everyone with the same rebellious spirit.”
However, unlike power reds that paint a space in fiery boldness, Viva Magenta brings a softer touch. “Assertive but not aggressive, it is a carmine red that does not boldly dominate but instead takes a ‘fist in a velvet glove’ approach,” says Pantone Color Institute executive director Leatrice Eiseman.
The “transformative” hue also has the ability to drive design toward “a more positive future,” with application in both the physical and virtual world. “As virtual worlds become a more prominent part of our daily lives, we look to draw inspiration from nature and what is real,” says Eiseman. To that end, Viva Magenta was inspired by the cochineal, a natural red dye derived from insects and one which Pantone says is “one of the strongest and brightest (pigments)” in the world. “Rooted in the primordial, Pantone 18-1750 Viva Magenta reconnects us to original matter,” she says. “Invoking the forces of nature, it galvanizes our spirit, helping us to build our inner strength.”
is, perhaps, to be expected. So, too, will be its emergence in home design.
As Architectural Digest notes, “Residential and commercial interiors (are) a natural next step,” and “kitchens (and kitchen appliances), which have long harbored a respect for red, can be imbued with ‘a touch of newness’ via Viva Magenta.”
Pantone invites us to “harness the full power of the Color of the Year as a velvet couch or lacquered wall. Or, use it in smaller doses, as a pop of color in lighting, textiles, art, or tabletop accents. “Viva Magenta packs a lot of drama in a small dose,” they say.
Pantone will showcase Viva Magenta through several partnerships: Motorola is releasing a special edition of its Edge 30 Fusion phone in the 2023 Color of the Year; Motorola parent company Lenovo will feature the color in its PC and tablet category; Spoonflower will introduce one-of-a-kind designs by six independent artists featuring a custom color palette, including Viva Magenta; and The Hydrow Wave Rower will break out of the traditional blackand-steel aesthetic of home fitness machines with new colorways including a special-edition version in Viva Magenta, “allowing for selfexpression and celebration in even the most unexpected of places.”
With Barbiecore pink dominating fashion and other bold expressions of color breaking through the neutral stranglehold of the last few years, the transition to a more intensely saturated hue

It’s easy to give to those in need — just look around your home. Just look around your home. Perhaps you have clothing,
