Our real estate journey didn’t begin in a boardroom or after a strategic career change. It began the way many real estate journeys do: with the experience of being buyers ourselves. When we purchased our first home in Rose Park back in the 1990s, the process was confusing, overwhelming, and — frankly — not handled with the care it deserved. That experience became the spark that launched a new purpose for us.
I became a Realtor to make the process clearer, more transparent, and more supportive than what we had encountered. A few years later, Brad joined me, bringing his technical perspective, problem-solving approach, and patience to the work. Together, we built what would eventually become one of Long Beach’s most well-regarded real estate teams — not because of sales volume alone, but because of the trust and relationships we cultivated along the way.
There are homes we will never forget — like the famously narrow “Skinny House” in Rose Park, which led to national press and plenty of curiosity. But while the properties themselves were memorable, the people behind the doors were what mattered most.
The privilege of helping individuals and families find stability, comfort, and a foundation for their future is something we have never taken lightly.
