Glendale holds a very special place in my heart: it is where I grew up and met my husband of 34 years. It lies at the southeastern end of the San Fernando Valley, bisected by the Verdugo Mountains. Centrally located and known as the "Jewel City," businesses and residents pride themselves on Glendale's excellent safety, healthcare facilities, schools, entertainment, and restaurant options. Some notable attractions include the Americana at Brand, Brand Library and Art Center, and the historic Alex Theatre. Although it has changed throughout the years, I am very comfortable representing clients that want to move in or out of Glendale
