Broker (6 years experience). Specialties: Buyer's agent, Listing agent, Relocation, Short-Sale, Property Management, Landlord. I have been in the business of real estate for almost 15 years, as an investor, landlord, and property manager; but helping other people realize the dream of home ownership is the most rewarding to me. The benefits and pride of ownership, coupled with the security of growing equity, is something that everyone should enjoy. A Southern California native, I was born and raised in Riverside County and moved to beautiful Long Beach in 1999. It was the perfect place to start a family, and it's where I still reside, with my husband, two kids, and four dogs. Before becoming a realtor, I owned a successful marine diesel engine repair business with my husband. Running a small business has given me a unique set of project management skills that enable me to effectively manage the entire process of purchasing a property from the beginning to the end. As a realtor with Sonnocco Real Estate Group, I work with a highly skilled team. As an active member of the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and the California Association of Realtors (CAR), I adhere to a very high level of ethics and conduct. When I'm not working, you can find me rolling on my beach cruiser, or rolling on the mats at my local Jiu-Jitsu school!
