Alisa Cunningham is the kind of person you'd like to have as a neighbor. That's probably why so many of her Burbank neighbors choose her to represent them when they're selling or buying real estate. The top agent in the Burbank/Glendale Rancho Equestrian neighborhood, Alisa is known for her depth of knowledge, her attentiveness and her trademark warmth. "That's where I live, work and play." Alisa
donates her time to a variety of local activities, from the Animal Shelter and Burbank on Parade to the Board of Realtors. A native of Vancouver, British Columbia, Alisa earned a finance degree and is a Fellow of the Canadian Securities Institute (FCSI). Before entering real estate, she worked for nearly a decade as a money market and institutional stock trader and another six years in sales and marketing management for high-tech companies. But Alisa was a natural for real estate. "Real estate takes everything I've learned, all my work and life experiences, and everything I love, and combines them. It lets me use my marketing background and brings out the creative part of me." That creativity is critical to real estate, especially when working in a distinctive community like the Rancho, where every home is unique and house-by-house familiarity with the market is essential. "I am passionate about home ownership," Alisa continues. "With my finance background, I had my first retirement account at 18 and bought my first house at 22, so promoting financial security for my clients is very important." Alisa's clients appreciate her concern, her ability to listen and her "bull-dog" tenaciousness when it comes to negotiations. "Alisa always managed to keep us excited about the process and keep our eye on the prize," a client commented following a very challenging transaction, adding, "Her follow-through is something that especially impressed us." For the industry-savvy residents of Burbank, Glendale, Toluca Lake, Studio City, North Hollywood and Shadow Hills, Alisa Cunningham knows the formula for real estate success: "It's one part art, one part science, and all heart," she says. Easy to talk to, likeable and smart, Alisa is an asset to her clients and to her friends and colleagues at Teles Properties. Alisa Cunningham: California Real Estate #01719178
