What do you expect to see in Southern California real estate this year?

In 2025 home prices in the Beach Cities are expected to remain high. However, the rate of appreciation will slow down due to elevated mortgage rates and buyer fatigue. There has been an increase in the number of homes available on the market. Despite this, quality homes located in desirable neighborhoods continue to be in high demand. Additionally, with permitting processes becoming easier, 2025 is expected to see a rise in the construction of accessory dwelling units (ADUs).

Describe a memorable real estate sale.

One of my first sales in the Hollywood Riviera was with Courtney and Darrell. They were first-time homebuyers and just had a daughter, Nicola. Decades later, I had the privilege of selling Nicola and Tommy a home. Nicola was pregnant with their daughter, Charlie. Can’t wait to start shopping for Charlie!

What is your best professionAL attribute?

Patience is key when it comes to finding the right home. Sometimes it takes buyers a while to truly understand what matters most to them in a home and lifestyle—and that’s completely OK. I’ve worked with clients who have been searching for over a year, and I’m always committed to supporting them every step of the way.
