This career is a natural fit for her as she has always been about the home—the places where people reside—where they live, work, play, dream. People and the communities they create are her passion. From a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology, to her volunteer work as a Court Appointed Special Advocate CASA since 1995 and a member of the Torrance Woman’s Club since 2014. Lisa-Marie believes in contributi
ng to humanity through touching people’s lives directly. Participating as a member in the home buying and selling process allows her to connect to the person as well as the house. She has an innate ability to take the fear and trepidation out for the first-time buyer, as well as, for the homeowner who makes the decision to sell their home. She will walk her clients through the process with comfort and intelligence. Beyond the purchase, Lisa-Marie often continues with her clients on the home-making journey, which is why she is also an interior designer (since 2003). She wants your home to be a reflection of the life you lead and the person you are. For her, the most satisfying experience is to be included in the major decision to buy or sell one’s home. “It’s a privilege to be a part of the journey.”
