I have been a realtor for over 40 years.

I grew up in Los Angeles, graduated from UCLA with a B.A. in European history and taught Kindergarten/First Grade at an inner city school. My mission was to provide the kids with a positive first school experience and to foster the reading skills essential for a successful education.

Within a few years I noticed that the landscape of the City was changing and I recognized there were opportunities for wise investing. Marshalling my creative impulses and organizational capabilities I fixed up and refurbished older properties and found good tenants to lease them.

These investments gave me the means to realize long held dreams…to travel and live abroad. It was great, so many fond memories.

Upon returning to LA, I decided to utilize my business experience, passion for real estate and natural abilities as a facilitator to become a luxury real estate specialist in service to others. I am fortunate to have a base of loyal repeat clients and other professionals who refer their friends and family to me, knowing that I am dedicated to their best interests.

I became a Certified International Property Specialist, (CIPS) because of my love of traveling and affinity for other countries and cultures. It is enlightening to attend global conferences. They are informative about local markets and changing trends. Meeting agents from all over the world, not only extends my collaborative network, but at the social events we get to know one another on a more personal basis. Likewise Nourmand’s reach through Leading RE has benefitted my national and international buyers and sellers.

Realizing that today’s Boomers are not your stereotypical grandparents and the need to support this underserved 50+ aging population, I obtained a Senior Real Estate Specialist, ( SRES® Designation). Deciding to move could be the result of retirement, a death in the family, an infirmity, the desire to downsize, relocation to be closer to loved ones, financial hardship, a new life partner, or the opportunity to purchase a 2nd home. Working in concert with family members and trusted advisors at a pace that is comfortable for each individual senior, I take a proactive approach, gently guiding my clients in a respectful, friendly, compassionate manner through the process from start to finish, educating them and answering their questions.

At the other end of the spectrum is my enthusiastic partnering with Millennials, who have a wealth of internet information, but rely on me to interpret the data and guide them through the process of buying their first home.

Working for years in the probate arena led to my becoming a Certified Probate Real Estate Specialist, (CPRES). I strategize in collaboration with attorneys, executors,and CPA’s to effect successful outcomes and lessen the burden of dealing with the disposition of property.

Grateful for my many blessings I pay it forward through active community involvement: speaker on professional panels, past Vice Chair of the Global Committee for BH/GLAAR, founding member of Women’s Council of Realtors,LA/Beverly Hills and 2023 Chair of Community and Affinity Engagement,member of Bruin Professionals, and of the Women’s Business and Business Law Entertainment Councils of the Century City Chamber of Commerce.

In addition I am involved with non-profits that embrace diversity, underserved populations and education: our Veterans through VAREPLA, our Seniors though the SRES® Council, LA’s Foster Children through Working Dreams, Girls and Women in distress through I Support the Girls and Enrichment programs through Friends of Westwood Library and the Ahmanson Foundation.

With artful diplomacy and maintaining a respectful and calm demeanor I will be your strongest advocate in negotiating the best deal for you and finding solutions should problems arise. I believe successful transactions can be a win-win for all.

On a personal note I feel privileged to have been a realtor for 40+ years. Representing clients in Beverly Hills, throughout L.A. and beyond has given me the opportunity to meet and become friends with many wonderful individuals and families, a delightfully diverse cultural clientele from across the globe.

I spend my downtime with my cherished children, grandchildren, family and friends. I still have the travel bug, like to play tennis, see films and live theatre, attend concerts and educational seminars, discover new eateries and curl up with a good book.
