About:
I graduated from UC Riverside with a degree in economics and continued my studies at Pepperdine School of Law. I served as managing editor of the Law Review and graduated Magna Cum Laude with Amjur awards in [real property] and in [wills, trusts and estates]. I spent the next twelve years in the legal field most notably as in house Counsel for Boeing Capital Corporation. In 2006, I obtained my broker's license and helped my husband, Neal, launch Freedom First Properties with the thought that my legal and business skill set along with Neal's expertise in property valuation would provide a distinct client advantage. Freedom First Properties is an independent, full service real estate company leveraging expertise in deal structure, property valuation, and personal service to attain exceptional results for our clients. We hire intelligent, dynamic people and foster a friendly, cooperative environment. What drives our success is passion…and the desire to consistently exceed customer expectations. We treat our business associates, vendors and clients like family and strive for lifelong partnerships. Recognizing this, local attorneys have sought my assistance and I continue to be recommended, selected and even court appointed in divorce, probate and trust administration cases. Most importantly, I have found my true passion in real estate which is reflected in my success. In 2013, I was title company ranked #5 in the county for sales volume. My business continues to grow and is driven by client referrals and repeat customers. I am a mother of three and enjoy watching soccer games, hiking in the local hills and selling real estate.
