December 2024

This is a weird post to write, but I've had a wonderful ride with you all. As of 12/31/2024, I am officially retiring. I started my career helping people in and out of homes in the Summer of 2002. My Real Estate license with the state of California expires in the Summer of '26. I am thrilled not to have to take a bazillion hours of continuing education to extend it again!

I worked my tush off to help you all. Real Estate is very stressful, and although I don't regret a single moment of it, I'm ready to lead a more relaxed life. In our Tennessee Lake House.


Those tiny people are me and my Big Sis!

About 10 years ago, I started thinking about how my retirement was going to pan out. And, with much research, I realized that one of the most important things was to find a replacement for me. Someone that would care for each and every one of you and provide the same service that I always did. I met with several, and have been lucky enough to find two. You should know them by now.

     

My most awesome Realtor family!
Leslie Babikan and Jennifer Herring

Both of them have been working with me for a few years now. They've been the boots on the ground for our clients. And, every single one of my clients have adored them both. I am so happy and you are all so fortunate!

For me, what will I do now? Um, as little as possible. If you have real estate needs, reach out to any of us. If you call Leslie or Jennifer directly, let them know you are one of my peeps. They'll want to know 'our' story. Trust me, they like to know the background!

I plan to be painting more, puzzling a lot, reading bunches, and most of all? Relaxing. I'm overdue for that.  If you follow me on Facebook (I deleted X & Instagram from my phone), you'll know I colored my hair again. Not sure how long that will last. But, here's a recent picture of me when my eldest son was visiting last Summer and we took he and his wife out on our boat.


And, these were the most recent water color paintings I did. One was from real life. The other I was inspired from an artist I found on Instagram but can't recall their name.


Thank you for trusting me, and my 'family' recently as well. This last two decades have been wonderful helping you and your friends. I am hopeful that you will continue to trust me, by working with Leslie and/or Jennifer as they were both chosen for you.

Much Love Always. 😊
