Congratulations to my clients Rey and Amanda on their first home purchase in the heart of Hawthorne!
Rey and Amanda found me online. We met at a coffee shop and clicked right away – they ended up canceling the other two realtor interviews they had set up!
Rey and Amanda told me they knew what they wanted. They loved the charm of older condos and were looking only in inner SE, since they both walk to work. They told me they probably would put an offer on the first home they saw – which is exactly what happened. We saw two condos and we offered on the first one.
The condo had been on the market for months, but as soon as we submitted our offer, another one transpired. Rey and Amanda, decisive as ever, strengthened their offer terms and crossed their fingers. They rolled the dice with as-is verbiage and maxing out their budget.
The other offer was cash, but we beat them on price and other terms. The condo HOA was self-run, and the sellers liked that that was a plus for Amanda and Rey. The inspection report was clean as a whistle; their bet had paid off.
After living in a 500 sq ft studio apartment for four years, Rey, Amanda, and their cat Gwen are ready to be able to furnish their home with both a bed AND a couch! Cheers to these happy new homeowners!

As your trusted guide through the buying or selling process, you can expect me to customize my services to your specific goals and preferences, much like I did for my students during my ten years as an educator.
My clients’ goals vary. A couple retiring to the Big City after 30 years on 22 acres. A woman purchasing her first home independently. A couple upsizing to support a growing family. Two friends pooling their resources to make their first investment possible. A couple navigating a divorce and the sale of their home. A refugee family with limited English setting down roots in this country. Deaf investors looking to maximize profit on their flip. A couple selling the home of their daughter who has lost her battle to cancer. A family relocating from across the country and buying sight-unseen.
These situations all require unique, dynamic, and holistic approaches. Everyone has different needs, and it is my top priority to meet my clients where they are. For me, real estate is not transactional. It is deeply personal and inevitably life-changing.
While each client requires a tailored strategy, my work ethic is unwavering. With me you can always expect organization, tenacity, responsiveness, dedication, and hustle. A gatherer of resources, a communicator of all options and possible outcomes. As your advocate, I will be brutally honest so you know what to expect. A skilled negotiator, I’ll consider every angle with your dreams and goals in mind.
My clients often end up feeling like family. I am honored they trust me enough to return to me as their needs change and refer me to their friends, family, and communities.
What are your real estate goals and dreams? Call or text me so we can meet to discuss your vision.
