I was first licensed as a real estate salesperson and began working for, what was then known as, ERA JacksonMcCombs Realty in October 1993. At that time ERA was a full service real estate company, including commercial/residential real estate sales, with a small property management division and a large involvement in foreclosure management , serving as the HUD and VA area managers. In 1996 I obtained my broker’s license and purchased the existing company and shortly thereafter changed the name to ERA The Real Estate Store. My previous career as a Manager of a trade shop in the jewelry industry prepared me for the day to day problem solving and management of a busy real estate office. I now have 30 years of hands on real estate experience in Residential/Commercial Sales, REO and Relocation Management/Sales, Short Sales, Property Management, Asset Valuation, Office Management and Sales Team Management. I have served in numerous roles with the Local and State Associations of Realtors ranging from various local committee chairs, several Local and State Director positions, a term as Regional Chair at the State level and two terms as Imperial County Association President on the Local level. I have an extraordinary team of professional real estate licensees and support staff that pride ourselves on providing the utmost in customer service in the most ethical and professional way possible.
