Meet Vanessa & Daniel

Meet Vanessa & Daniel Vanessa contacted me in the Fall of 2019. She owned a starter home in Compton, not too far from the civic center. The one bedroom home had worked well as a starter property, but as her equity grew, she began to wonder whether she might be able to afford a bigger home closer to her work in Carson. The house needed work and Vanessa was afraid she'd have to spend t...

Meet Rick & Anji

Rick & Anji contacted me for help selling their #Compton home right as COVID-19 was devastating the world in the early part of 2020. Not only were they moving with the ambitious goal of starting a new business, but they were moving to #Fresno California, 250 miles away. The mission I was given was to sell their home as-is, for at least $479,000, and coordinate the close of escrow to co...

Meet Maria Elena

Maria contacted our team in January of 2019 when she first started to think about home ownership. As a first time home buyer, she was nervous and excited at the same time. She was uncertain about where to start, which questions to ask, and whether she was ready to take on the financial commitment of owning a home. We completed a buyer consultation which eased some of her concerns. One of o...

South LA Fixer Sold

Often, when I meet with clients who need to sell real estate due to death, hardship, or simply life, there is worry that the property might not sell because it's not in the "best" shape. The is anxiety made worse by the expectation that they will have to spend money and time to get the property market ready when what they really want to do is move past the situation that has broug...

Meet Oscar & Edith

Sharing the story behind the sale of these two homes is extra special because the buyers are my little brother and my sister-in-law. The hard-working pair began their journey with a starter property in Compton. That first home was a foreclosure and a fixer. They saved to complete improvements on the property and built equity through the years. The two bedroom served them well as a young couple,...

Mid Century Modern Condo

One of our favorite things about real estate is the stories and life milestones we get to share when helping families buy and sell property. The family living in this mid-century modern condo in Ladera Heights contacted us because they were growing. The three bedroom condo had served them well when it was just mom and dad. But, after having their first baby, they realized that space, proxi...

Meet Brian & Noelle

Brian and Noelle contacted us in early June when the real estate world was still in the midst of figuring out sales in the era of COVID19. Brian's work was relocating him from Boston to Los Angeles to head the west coast division of his tech company. This young couple was tasked with finding a residence from 3,000 miles away with just four months to get it done. Meanwhile, the res...

Meet Daniel Ruiz

The real estate journey Daniel Ruiz and I took is one of my favorites because of all the forks in the road we encountered before arriving at the front door of his first home. He contacted me in June of 2018 on social media. At that time, he was stationed overseas and beginning to research. Initially, his focus was on a foreclosure or short sale that he might renovate himself. He had been involv...
