Spectacular holiday evening at the La Valencia Hotel.🎄🌟

This is one of my all time favorite spots to celebrate the season and it holds a special place in my heart!❤️ When my best friend and I graduated from La Jolla High School, we had our celebration dinner here with our families in The Sky Room (which offered fine dining and had only 9 tables along with an amazing ocean view). And when she got married, we celebrated again as she had her wedding reception here.🥂

Since then, our family has enjoyed many special occasions at La V including when our daughter, her bridal party and the moms got ready for her wedding in a beautiful ocean view suite.🩵

If you want to truly enjoy the magic of the season with a spectacular ocean view, I highly recommend making a visit to the La Valencia❣️It’s special!!

In honor of USC Homecoming this weekend, here are some of my favorite memories!✌️❤️

As many of you know, I have been attending USC football games since I was a little girl. And my 3 grown kiddos were all raised going to USC games. This family tradition holds a special place in our hearts.🥰

We are 3 generations deep with Trojan alums. My father, who lived to be 95 and was a huge USC fan, earned his bachelor’s and J.D. degrees from ‘SC, I have my bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from ‘SC, and our daughter and son-in-law are alums too! Plus our son-in-law will graduate with his MBA from USC in 2026!👏👏

While the Homecoming game on Saturday was not your typical Homecoming with tons of ☔️ rain (see Pic #2), we were committed to attend, rain or shine! Yeah… you might call us crazy 🤪 but I call it PASSION !!!💖When you are passionate about something the surrounding factors don’t always matter.

This passion that I have for USC carries over with my passion for helping families with their real estate goals. Whether they are 1st time home buyers, downsizing after raising their family, upsizing or investing, I am enthusiastically devoted to helping them achieve the best outcome!😃And working together as a team is key - a win/win for all!🥇

If you would like to work with a real estate advisor, who goes above and beyond, provides value, loves to negotiate and win — and is PASSIONATE about helping you, please give me a call.📞
