La Canada Flintridge - CA

With a real estate license obtained in 1976 and a broker license in 1978, this professional has dedicated their career to the field of real estate, focusing primarily on residential sales and income property exchanges until 1981. Seeking to broaden their business acumen, they transitioned into a consulting role with a firm specializing in revitalizing struggling businesses. In this capacity, they collaborated with business owners and creditors to devise and implement strategic plans aimed at restoring profitability.

Subsequently, they took their expertise to a regional bank, where they addressed challenges related to commercial and real estate loans. Over a 15-year tenure, they progressed through various roles, including production loan officer, credit officer, and ultimately manager of the Real Estate Division. Following a merger with a larger institution, they continued their career at another regional bank.

Each loan was approached as a unique challenge, tailored to meet the specific needs of borrowers and their projects, with several transactions exceeding $30 million.

Now returning to real estate sales, this seasoned expert offers unparalleled knowledge and enthusiasm to assist clients in purchasing their first home or selling high-value investment properties.
