2016 Realtor® of the year!

We Know Ojai.

We’re Lifelong Residents.

nora@ojaivalleyestates.com LIV Sotheby’s International Realty www.ojaivalleyestates.com

About Your Realtor Ojai has given me a full home and a fulfilling career. I met my husband Clint of over 27 years when he lived just down the street from my home in the same Ojai neighborhood.

Today, I have six beautiful children, four gorgeous grandchildren, and a thriving real estate business.

I began my real estate career in 2002 when the fifth of my sixth children was just 2. I would study my real estate courses during her naps while also working as a server at a local restaurant.

Seventeen years later, it’s proven to be a good decision. While most of my business is in the Ojai Valley, I also sell many homes all over Ventura county.

I know that not everything about the real estate business is strictly, well, business. Being a local and career Realtor in the Ojai Valley is also about building relationships, not just transactions! Helping people get into their forever homes and make new memories is one of the best parts of the job.

Ojai has been good to my family over the years. We try to instill in our children that community service is important — to make it something they’ll want to do their whole lives. I firmly believe in paying it forward in the community that has given us so much.

As a salesperson, you have to love what you sell to be successful, and I truly love the Ojai Valley Community !

Thank you Ojai Valley Community for keeping your beloved local gardening and landscape company viable through these past 26 years.

We are grateful for the opportunity to make an impact in this Precious Valley. We offer our skills in improving the soil health, collecting surface water and planting woody plants that capture carbon from the air and water from the sky and return them back into the soil where they belong. Can you imagine if all Ojai gardens followed this method? Our air quality would highly improve and our water holding capacity in the soil would allow a more verdant, vibrant valley to be actualized!

Love to all who Love this Valley!
