P O W E R + M O V E //

Breaking into real estate is hard — financing quirks, hidden costs, zoning rules, and tight timing create a high barrier to entry. I’m a real estate consultant with 22 years of experience across every market imaginable and a large, trusted network of brokers, lenders, investors, and service providers. I find off-market opportunities, structure smarter deals, negotiate fiercely, and guide clients through regulatory and financing pitfalls so they save time, reduce risk, and maximize return. If you want a partner who knows where to look and how to move, in the spirit of inspired, ethical and informed communication, DM me — let’s make your next move the right one.

Too many words for a post, but let’s just say this turned out really nice!

I couldn’t be a prouder Mother. That’s not to say I’m proud of myself. That’s to say I’m proud of both my sons beyond words.

I also feel so extraordinarily blessed that they both found such amazing partners!

Don’t even get me started about being a
G R A N D Mother!

Years ago I never would’ve imagined that I would’ve been one of “these woman”. I only wanted horses + dogs 😂

Now? My Northstar⭐️is essentially this amazing family of mine!

Some weeks/days/months are more challenging than others.

Grateful for the people who talked me off the cliff a few times in the last several days.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, pick up the phone + call your support system. You would be surprised how quickly they can ground you. ✨🌷🤍

Take care of one another.
If someone’s hungry, feed them.
Try not to make assumptions.
Have a beautiful weekend! ⭐️

J U S T + S O L D //

Multiple Offers don’t stop this agent! Communication is key! Most clients and the public in general do not understand what goes on behind the scenes to the full extent. I was very strategic with this one. My client wanted it baaaaaad! There were over 70 people at the Open House on Saturday! We knew there was stiff competition. So I threw EVERYTHING I could think of to communicate we WOULD close, my client LOVED this property and that I was a consummate professional! I mean, that’s my job, right? :)

Congratulations to my client on your mid-century modern home on the biggest lot! I look forward to helping you {if you’ll let me} re-imagine the place!

That isn’t to say I’m bragging. This is about being utterly grateful + grounded in my blessings. This is about grabbing life by the tail + seeking adventure + remaining eternally curious + building relationships with people who “get you”. This is about teaching yourself something about yourself; like how to cook a certain catch of fish or how to tie a sailing knot.

This week I saw @davidbyrneofficial at the @sbbowl which was nothing less than epic as the SpaceX rocket flew overhead while he was singing. I couldn’t believe I was there; that this was really happening. It was utterly surreal!

Squeezed in a visit with my favorite youngest son Sam at @dartcoffeeco overlooking the Santa Barbara Harbor on a glorious morning.

Did some bougee shopping @thepostmontecito + lunched @clarksoysterbar with an old friend.

Handed keys to an Equestrian friend (turned client) giving her access to her new/old home-the coolest mid-century modern house on the biggest lot! Can’t wait to see what she does with the place! Congratulations girl!

Took some amazing photos with a very talented photographer/friend @nicolecaldwellphoto

Introduced an artist/friend to the world of sailing @alamitosbayyc @kharacoultier

Attended an amazing South African Tasting @thewinecountry

Also just sat in my backyard + watching the butterflies & the hummingbirds & my dog named Goose 🪿 chase them all the way!

Cooked some amazing things on my 110 year-old vintage stove. Just for myself..

V O Y A G E • LA //

From Orange County roots to Long Beach dreams—built with an amazing team!

My journey started in sun-soaked Orange County, surrounded by orange blossoms & the sea. 🌊🍊

Raised by artist parents in a creative Eichler home, @joseph.eichler
I learned early that beauty & passion shape everything we build.

This isn’t just about real estate—it’s about curating homes filled with art + culture + soul.

Now settled in my beloved 1912 Craftsman on the ocean, I curate a life full of art + music + love—and I could not have gotten here without my incredible team. My success is truly their success!

A heartfelt thank you to:

🤝 Hans Stone @hansstone_bluprint – my trusted lending partner who made so many transactions possible by providing the utmost care & support to each & every client/family throughout the years!

📋 Melissa Kiser @the_tc_masters – my transaction coordinator, keeping everything seamless.

🎯 Caitlin Stearns & Michele Klein @stearnsandklein – my Title insurance representatives who championed my vision every step of the way for over twenty years!

Kimberly Terrell @agentkimt assisting my clients through the new reality of insurance challenges without missing a beat.

📷 my talented film photographer who makes me look like I feel! Shooting for this article was a blast as always! @nicolecaldwellphoto

Together, we’ve created something beautiful. 🤍

To my team: thank you for believing in this vision & helping me share it with others.

To my clients &
my referral partners:
Thank you for putting trust in me for guiding you through one of the most important transitions of your life. 🤍

I N + E S C R O W ! //

A wild bidding war that took a week to finalize + win!

Who you work with matters. My client really wanted this home but so did 4 other parties. What made the difference in our offer ultimately was experience = good instincts + looking at the data + building excellent communication & rapport with the listing agent + garnering trust with my client. There is no such thing as overcommunication!

More than most people understand happens behind the scenes. A true professional does all this work with utmost integrity + grit.

Thank your Realtor today. We often work with a single client for up to a year U N P A I D. Sometimes the client just pivots and decides not to move forward or gets out of the market completely!

I would also like to thank my client. They answered every phone call + text + submitted items on time which greatly contributed to our success.

Now let’s get this closed! :)

The Gods came together perfectly on Saturday. My family used to go to Catalina on Easter vacation when we were kids I have very fond memories of that time in my life.

Saturday morning I text my brother; “When do I get to see your new boat!? We are supposed to be in Avalon-it’s Easter weekend!”

He called me right away. He was on his way to the boat! He said “I have to put some gas in her. Do you want to go for a harbor cruise?”
I hopped in the car immediately and met him having no idea we were going to spontaneously go sailing for several hours!

First we gassed up + then we decided to go out! The wind started out at about 9 kn and picked up to 30 kn!

It was very sporty + the weather so perfect I did not even need a sweater.

We almost kissed 💋Catalina Island as the conditions were so perfect we kept going-like we were sailing on a cloud!☁️

I have never in all my years of living in Southern California sailed out of Los Angeles Yacht Club. I grew up sailing out of Newport Harbor. The contrast is insane! Los Angeles Harbor is bustling with cargo ships + tugboats + cruise ships in a port so filled with history & architecture! All of this I’ve seen from land many times, but the perspective on the water is everything!

What a blessing this day was!
