“Let gratitude be the pillow upon which you kneel to say your nightly prayer.”
- Maya Angelou 

Thanksgiving is a time to reflect and express gratitude to those who have impacted our lives. When I started my real estate career 20 years ago, I didn’t anticipate how fulfilling it would be to be "in service" and to integrate into your lives well beyond helping you buy or sell a property. Your support as advocates for our business has been vital to our success. Being your trusted resource is an honor and a privilege and we look forward to taking care of you, your family, your friends, and your homes for many years to come.  

Wishing you a very happy and safe holiday season, filled with love, friendships and delicious meals!

2 detached homes--each with a private yard, parking, and in-unit laundry--situated on a beautifully manicured 6200+ sqft lot with alley access just 8 blocks to the ocean or to Mission Bay in Pacific Beach. Current owner occupied the front 2 bedroom + office, 1 ¼ bath 1920s Spanish home for 10 years. Improvements include owned solar, 3 mini-split systems, remodeled kitchen and baths, dual-pane windows, 12x10 shed, numerous fruit trees and raised vegetable beds with drip system. A giant avocado tree, original oak wood flooring, and coved ceilings help this property retain its old-world charm. The back home is a 1 bed/1 bath with eat-in kitchen, private front yard, and direct access to 5 parking spaces in the alley. A new owner can offset expenses by using one unit as a short-term (only tier 1 or 2 license–no lottery!) or long-term rental. Ideal location within a Transit Priority Area, close to shopping and dining, will appeal to vacationers and to long-term tenants.

If you want the conveniences of urban living like quick access to breweries, dining, and shopping but you crave space between neighbors, picking fruit from your own trees, and low-cost “green” living, then we have the home for you. More than $200,000 was spent over the past 18 years to create an opportunity of a lifetime for the next lucky owner of this beautiful home. See for yourself why homes in this Southwest Escondido neighborhood are rarely available -- because once you move here you will never want to leave. And don’t forget to ask about the winery located less than 1 mile from your new front door.
