Your Award Winning Realtor

What brought you to real estate? I have a great love for the arts and for helping people in general. My fat her was a contractor and I have been on construction sites of homes for as long as I can remember, funny I even spent some summers spackling nails and sanding down dry wall! So real estate has always been part of my life. After working in production, I am able to combine my love of being creative and assisting people through one of the most important investments of their lives.

What is your mission? My mission is to provide the most professional, informative, ethical, loyal, and dedicated services by putting my clients first. I am committed to making my clients a top priority as well as provide an incomparable level of service.

What stands you apart from other agents? I truly believe people should not be pushed into a sale. Buying or selling a home is a huge decision, so many factors weigh heavy on a transaction. Emotions are running high and it is important to take time to find the perfect home. While this may not sound as aggressive as the approach other agents take, to me, it is more important to support your client. I also offer turnkey services, which includes staging a property to make sure it is in the perfect state before going to the market and many other things after the sale. I don’t sell and tell, and I certainly don’t sell and run.

Why are you thriving in your 40s? Embracing my 40s has been very powerful in my business. My journey has lead me to knowing who I am and what I can bring to the table in every deal I am a part of. Continuing to use my experience and knowledge from years past in this industry to guide my clients in making informed decisions for their most important asset. My work ethic, guidance and relationships I have built throughout the years lead me to having a record-breaking year and receiving the Agent of The Year Award at The Beverly Hills Estates.

RYOKAN ROMANCE

A Valentine’s get-a-way at the exclusive beach front destination Nobu Ryokan Malibu.

As we welcome February and look to warmer days ahead our communities are still recovering from the severe rain storm that we encountered last month. We are grateful for all the emergency service teams that keep our homes and families safe.

For this issue we attended the Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station first Safety Symposium, which went over personal and community preparedness concepts of emergency planning just before the storm rolled in. We hope you find it to be a helpful resource to help you plan ahead and keep your families safe.

Every month we are dedicated to provide you content that shines a positive light on the people, issues, events and interests within our community. It is only through the generous support of our advertisers that we are able to provide this publication exclusively for the community with the help and involvement of many of our friends and neighbors.

As always, we are here to tell your story and the stories that are uniquely “Hidden Hills,” and beyond so please reach out any time you have an idea or would like to get involved.

We hope you all have a wonderful February, and a Happy Valentine’s Day. We appreciate all your support and hope you enjoy this issue of Hidden Hills Community Register.
