I bought a home! First of all, I never thought I’d be purchasing a home right now. Growing up, I literally thought I would be playing some sport or game professionally. Since I’m now where I’m at, and know I’ll never be the MVP of the NFL, I’m going to use this as my MVP acceptance speech.
I have to start out with my family, namely my parents Ran and Sokhoeut. This literally would not be possible without you! YOU THE REAL MVP. My whole family has always been a source of motivation, inspiration and aspiration. Alex, Andrew, Alissa – Thank you!! I was just talking with Jake about how cool my family is, and it’s really true. Each one is such an individual and it’s cool to be one of them.
I’d also like to thank my friends! So many of you also push and motivate me to be a better overall person. I feel super super lucky to be surrounded by amazing people all the time. Thank you Rachel! I’m so excited to have a place for us! Also to the friends that trusted me with helping them to purchase a home before I even did – Mike, Rylie, Becca, Keely, Thank you! To some of my day 1’s – Chris, Kristine, Beeno, Brett, Matan, thank you! To my past and present roommates – Ifo, Natalie, Daniel, Emma, Bridget, thank you!
A huge thank you to Rebecca Green, who’s now at Hasson. She took a chance on a nervous 22 year old and got me into the real estate business. Neither of us thought this was how it was going to turn out, but thank you so much for taking that chance, and always being on my side.
My team at Living Room! The staff that helps with the backend stuff that no body ever sees, Clem, Kate, Elinor, Olivia, Whitney, Blaine, Vanessa, Becky, Abby, Stephanie, Gen, thank you!
Iris, our transaction coordinator that makes us look good ALL THE TIME, thank you!
My business partner Jake Goodson, thank you! So many ups and downs with this business but you always keep it real and keep the perspective. Now we’re even taking a step forward as partners and branding ourselves as the houselab team! It’s been amazing learning from you the last two plus years, and looking forward to many more!

Thank you to Carly VA for allowing me to live in her rental the past couple of years!
To the agent on the other side – Karim and his team!! Thank you for an amazingly smooth and easy transaction and the uplifting and kind words.
Clint Elliott! Thank you for making the loan happen. Thank you to your team, notably Sim and Noemi, for consistently working after 5 pm on my behalf.
Kimberly Allen and First American, thank you for being awesome, going the extra mile with a POA and last minute signing!
I definitely forgot so many people, but let’s be honest, this is a blog that is just going to go up on Living Room’s website, I don’t think that many people will actually read it, but if you are reading this, I THANK YOU. It takes a team and I’ve got a great fucking team.
