About Loren

A native to San Diego, Loren grew up in Solana Beach, attended Torrey Pines High School, and went on to graduate from the University of San Francisco with a major in Marketing. Shortly after graduation, she launched her own property management company in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Loren’s business thrived, where she was able to successfully manage dozens of properties, presiding over hundreds of short and long term rental transactions in the time she spent in Cabo.

 

Loren’s next endeavor was working for a large San Diego advertising agency before moving to San Jose, CA, to accept a prestigious job as a Senior Project Manager for Liquid Agency, which is a leading brand agency in Silicon Valley. While there, Loren created successful branding campaigns for some of Liquid’s top hi-tech accounts, including IntuitĀ®, MicrosoftĀ® and AdobeĀ®.

 

After returning home to San Diego and settling in Encinitas, Loren again tapped her entrepreneurial impulse in the fashion and design industry by creating a kids clothing line that earned immediate acclaim online and in retail stores. While utilizing her skills in marketing, Loren soon expanded the business to stylish doll clothes for the American GirlĀ®, and became a top seller on Etsy with a loyal and rabid fan base.

 

After raising two kids, Loren turned her eye for design and marketing to the real estate industry. She has had a major role in several renovations, including her own home, with diverse styles including minimalist, contemporary, mid-century modern, and modern farmhouse, which have resonated with the local real estate community. Loren’s experience in home design and renovation has resulted in hundreds of thousands of dollars of increased resale value for multiple local homes. After urging from real estate professionals, Loren acquired her real estate license and is turning her skills in marketing and design to help local home sellers maximize their sales price and marketing reach, as well as to help buyers discover and connect with a home to make it their own.

 

Loren’s dedication to her clients means she takes the time to understand their specific needs and preferences, listening attentively to their desires and working tirelessly to find the perfect property that aligns with their vision. By utilizing cutting-edge technology, she ensures that the entire process is as easygoing, successful, and enjoyable as possible, helping to make their dreams a reality. Loren's approach is defined by honesty, reliability, and professionalism. It's not just a transaction, but building relationships.

 

While Loren is not working with clients, she is President of the Board of Directors for her own HOA for the past 10 years. She enjoys Pilates, walks along the beach, browsing online at interior and architecture design, brainstorming new business ideas with her husband, and watching her kids’ high school water polo and collegiate soccer games.
