New pastime unlocked: solo summer architectural tours featuring the Gamble House
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Cliff notes: During the peak of Tuberculosis, where “fresh air” was the only known cure, Pasadena became a magnet with California weather being central to indoor-outdoor living. Enter, the Gamble House; built by the Green’s in under two years with strong influences from the Arts & Crafts movement and Japan. The house was completed in 1910 for a $50,000 commission and a build time of less than two years.

JUST SOLD & this one hit different.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My first commercial sale, right here in my neighborhood of El Sereno. This deal wasn’t easy. It took patience, trust, persistence, and honestly a listing agent on the other side who actually showed up. Communicative, reasonable, solution oriented. That kind of collaboration doesn’t always happen, and when it does, it’s what gets deals across the finish line. Shoutout to .realtor for this!

To my client, I’m looking forward to seeing what you build here. 🏠🤝

Swipe to the 👉 for Ziggy’s reaction to my color-drenched bathroom. I think he likes it? Oh me? Obsessed would be an understatement.

Let this also be an example of how conveying paint tones over IG is nearly impossible. Same light, same wall, guess you’ll just have to come over!

Paint: Dunn Edwards, Burnt Crimson with the trim in sheen. 👌🏻

This spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom Highland Park condo feels like a quiet retreat in the middle of one of Northeast L. A. ‘s most exciting neighborhoods. Sitting just one block from Figueroa Street, you’re a leisurely stroll to neighborhood favorites like Civil Coffee, Gold Line, and the Lodge Room. With easy access to the 110 freeway, the city is always within reach, but never imposing.

In this unexpected escape, a gated driveway leads you into Arroyo Seco Village, with amenity access to a pool, spa, sauna, and carport parking. Inside, the home balances character and modern ease. The upgraded kitchen features open shelving and adds warmth and style, perfect for morning rituals and effortless entertaining. Both bedrooms offer comfort and flexibility, while the ensuite bathroom includes an in-unit washer and dryer. An everyday luxury that makes condo living feel refreshingly complete. Step outside onto your private patio, for a feeling of calmness, with lush treetop views perfect for slow evenings. This is the kind of place that turns a first purchase into a forever address.

So proud of my client (and first time buyer!) for navigating through this closing and trusting me every step of the way. I’m a firm believer that every property is fixable for the right price and while this property looked flawless from the outside we did run into a few inspection surprises. Buyers, take a peek behind that cutesy wallpaper of yours!

This client landed an awesome condo, below market value, with an entirely new bathroom remodel, paid by credits, upon move-in.

When I first met my friend and later client, she was ready to take her first step into homeownership. We found her a charming condo in a community of just four owners and a perfect starting place where she could build equity, create stability, and step confidently into the market.

What neither of us knew at the time was that her neighbor would soon become her fiancé. Fast forward, and together they decided it was time to find their shared home. One that reflects their creative style, life, and future. This time, I had the privilege of guiding them both through the process.

What made this purchase so special was how aligned they were. From the moment we stepped inside, they both agreed this was “the one.” That kind of clarity isn’t always common, but just like the home itself, their decision felt effortless and right.

This moment highlights the beauty of stepping stones in real estate, starting with a condo, building equity, and then leveraging a softer market to make an even bigger move.

I’m so grateful to have been part of both chapters in her story, and now theirs together. Here’s to love, timing, and a home that doesn’t need a single change
