She’s been an over-achiever all her life, shattering ceilings, improving processes, and elevating standards. She combined legal studies with a Bachelor of Arts from San Diego State University, then excelled as VP of Legal Affairs with the San Diego Association of Realtors, where she transformed the legal department from a dysfunctional fiscal liability into a thriving and profitable business. She led sweeping changes, conceiving and executing numerous certification programs related to contract negotiations, risk management, and ethics. She established a mediation center and authored its mandate, and implemented the certification program for the very role she held; initiatives now recognized state-wide and copied by various associations.
While she thrives on being busy and performing at her best, Tiffiney always makes time for long morning walks, quiet evenings with her husband Steve, and a variety of fun activities with her super-cute French Bulldog, Knick-knack.

“We originally worked with Tiffiney in 2016 to purchase our dream home in California. She helped us negotiate an excellent deal, and facilitated the purchase of a home where we were able to continue to build our family. Our relationship with Tiffiney did not stop when the purchase was finalized as she stayed in touch and checked in regularly - offering assistance if needed - and quickly became a close friend. When it came time to move and sell our home, there was no doubt of hiring Tiffiney. She, again, negotiated the best terms possible and we were able to walk away more than satisfied. Tiffiney did not stop there and she helped us - yet again! - purchase our Hawaii dream home by guiding us through the process from afar. She went out of her way by taking phone calls to help guide us in the right direction and again resulted in the purchase of our another dream home. Tiffiney is more than a real estate agent. She is someone who takes interest in your family and becomes a part of it. She fights for your best interest and works hard for you and your family because she is caring and professional! If you are looking to purchase or sell a home, Tiffiney is absolutely the best person in the San Diego/ Riverside area to work with!”

Why a Move Could Bring You
More Happiness This Year
26
O
ver the past two years, we’ve lived through one of the most stressful periods in recent history. Because of the health crisis, many of us have spent more time at home and that’s led us to re-evaluate both what we need in a house and how much we appreciate having a safe space. If you’ve
There’s reason to believe a change of scenery could boost your happiness. Catherine Hartley, an Assistant Professor at New York University’s Department of Psychology and co-author of a study on how new experiences impact happiness, says:
“Our results suggest that people feel happier when they have more variety in their daily routines— when they go to novel places and have a wider array of experiences.” A move could be exactly the new experience you’ve been looking for. If that’s something you’re considering to better your lifestyle, here are a few things to keep in mind.
Buying and selling a home is a major life change, and it’s not a decision you should enter lightly. But, if you’re questioning whether or not a move would bring you more happiness, it’s important to explore if it’s the right choice for you. to a local real estate professional. They’ll explain the process – including how to list your existing house and search for a new one – in clear and simple terms.
Home features aren’t the only thing to consider. You should also weigh your options when it comes to location. Is the weather something that’s important to you? Does it have a tendency to impact your mood? If it does, you may want to factor it into your next move. The World Population Review shares:
“What states have the best weather? When evaluating each state for temperature, rain, and sun, some states stand out. . . . Climate and weather preferences are personal and subjective...” Better weather can mean people. Some prefer the heat, others cooler temperatures, and some want to experience all four seasons. Think about what makes you feel happiest and prioritize that in your home search. If you’re moving to a whole new location, your agent is a great resource with a strong network to support you along the way.
Moving could provide you with a fresh beginning and connect today to talk about your goals and options in the current market.
You should also think about your lifestyle and what you’re hoping to get out of your move. What needs aren’t being met in your current home? What features would bring you more joy and make your life easier? For example, are you now working remotely and fresh air and open outdoor space to unwind in? Knowing the answers to these questions can help you get started and position your real estate advisor to work with you so
