"Whether it's your first home, your 10th home or an income property, I pride myself on protecting your best interests and strive to make the experience enjoyable, comfortable and rewarding. One of my strongest beliefs about being a real estate agent is that it's quite more than just selling homes. It's about understanding and listening, while incorporating knowledge and building relationships. I take pride in being consistent, being patient and always following through. My goal is to deliver the highest level of customer service in the South Bay real estate market." How do you give back to your community? "In addition to being passionate about real estate, I believe that life is so much more than just a focus on business. I'm also actively involved at American Martyrs Parish in Manhattan Beach and support inclusive education at American Martyrs School. I'm also actively involved in the Julie Anne Sadlier Memorial Scholarship Fund at UCLA and the Down Syndrome Research and Treatment Foundation of Stanford University, as well as various other Down syndrome organizations." Do you have a personal motto or philosophy for doing business? "Growing up, I always heard the adage 'Home is where the heart is.' I realize that a home is not only your most significant investment, but also it is the space that encompasses our lives . w here we enjoy quality time with our loved ones, where we raise children, where we entertain our friends and family, and where we relax at the end of a long work day. Our home embodies our lives."
