What inspired you to pursue real estate work? 

The sense of community. Real estate is one of the biggest financial decisions a person can make, and being a resource to guide people to their goals is very fulfilling.

Take a risk or play it safe in real estate?

There is a balance of both in every decision I make. I live by the saying “high risk, high reward” and challenge myself to apply not only sentimental valuation but also concrete evidence to support my decision. To achieve the lifestyle you dream of, taking calculated risks is necessary. There is always something to lose—money, time—but it’s imperative to consider how much there is to gain.

What do you expect to see in Southern California real estate this year?

The market is likely to experience a mix of resilience and recalibration, especially in the wake of the recent fires in Los Angeles. On one hand, the demand for homes in desirable neighborhoods remains strong, fueled by limited inventory and continued interest in Southern California’s unique lifestyle. On the other hand, I expect to see heightened attention on properties with safety and sustainability features, such as fire-resistant construction, defensible space and eco-friendly designs.

Additionally, areas directly affected by the fires may see temporary market fluctuations, with some homeowners opting to rebuild while others may look to relocate. Buyers and investors are likely to place a greater emphasis on location, insurance coverage and community safety measures moving forward. Overall, Southern California’s market remains robust, but there will likely be a greater focus on thoughtful development and preparedness in response to recent challenges.

Building lasting relationships, staying ahead of market trends, and maintaining a reputation for integrity and results have been the foundation of my success.

What is your professional superpower?

My professional superpower is my ability to anticipate my clients’ needs and deliver tailored solutions before they even ask. Whether it’s finding the perfect property, negotiating the best deal or managing complex transactions, I excel at staying one step ahead. This proactive approach, combined with my deep market knowledge and attention to detail, allows me to create a seamless and stress-free experience for my clients no matter how challenging the market.

What puts a spring in your step and keeps you feeling energized?

My clients’ happiness and spending time with my family. I treat every transaction as if it were my very own and become person- ally invested in securing happiness for my clients. Coming home to my beautiful family gives me all the energy I need after a busy day. Having an intimate dinner with my supportive husband, our three beautiful children and our precious dog is the highlight of my day. I also enjoy traveling, volunteering with local schools and playing golf, and I support Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, Baby2Baby and families in need.
