Bio 08
I have a background in architecture and interior design from my studies in San Francisco. For over a decade, I’ve thrived in professional organizing, interior design, architecture, and property management. My passion for real estate has taken me from the stunning shores of Newport Beach to the serene landscapes of Ojai, which I now proudly call home.
I’ve spent Thanksgiving holidays and summers in upper Ojai since I was a kid, giving me a deep connection to this enchanting place. My family has been part of the Ojai community since 2013, and I now live here with my wonderful husband and our two young boys. Living in Ojai provides me with unique insights into the area, allowing me to help clients find homes that perfectly fit their lifestyles and goals.
I’m committed to delivering exceptional service and expertise, making the home buying or selling process enjoyable and stress-free. When I’m not working, you can find me exploring nature with my family, soaking in the beauty of Ojai, or spending time with our beloved animals.
I’m excited to be part of Ojai’s vibrant community and look forward to helping you buy or sell your Southern California home!

Common questions & Answers
Here’s why it might be a good time to sell:
- There are still not many homes for sale, and a lot of people are looking to buy, so if you price your home right, it will sell quickly.
- In a competitive market, sellers have more power in negotiations, which is a plus for things like terms, repairs, and moving dates.
- High demand can lead to multiple offers, which might drive up your sale price.
Over the past year, people have been buzzing about home prices. Some folks thought we might see a big drop like back in 2008, but that hasn’t happened.
Others are saying the market might go up or down a bit depending on where you are. As the year moves on, experts are still making their best guesses about what’ll happen with home prices in 2023 and beyond.
From handling major repairs to staging your home, preparing it for sale is a crucial part of a successful selling process. Sellers should aim for anyone who walks through the house to have a great first impression.
The first step is often to remove clutter and personal items. If you have a lot of belongings, you may need to rent a storage unit. Potential buyers want to envision their own things in the house, not be distracted by your personal items. Other important steps include deep cleaning, neutralizing decor, removing signs of pets, enhancing curb appeal, and staging the home to showcase its best features.
As of February 2023, homes were on the market for an average of 67 days. This figure is based on the time from when a property is listed until it is either sold, pending, or taken off the market.
The actual time a home spends on the market can vary widely. Factors like demand, the home's features, and local market conditions play a big role. In some cases, a home might sell in just a week, while others could stay on the market for 3 to 6 months or even longer.
