Three Years Running: Thank You, Placentia, for Voting Me Best REALTOR®

I still remember how it felt the first time Placentia voted me Best REALTOR® in the Best of Placentia awards. It was humbling, exciting, and honestly a little surreal. This year, being voted 1st place for the third consecutive year isn't something I take lightly and it's not something I did alone.

To everyone who took the time to vote for me this past May: Thank you.

My Roots in Placentia Run Deep

Placentia isn't just where I work. It's where I live, where I've built friendships, and where I've watched families grow and neighborhoods evolve. I was born and raised in this wonderful city. From walking across the stage as a contestant in the Miss Placentia Pageant in 1980 to getting my very first job at the age of 15, my entire story is tied to these streets.

That first job was right at 132 S. Bradford Ave at DBS Bookkeeping (which we all know and love today as Tony's Original Bar & Deli). There, I handled the payroll for true Placentia greats: Tlaquepaque Restaurant, El Farolito Restaurant, Castner's Automotive, Placentia Glass & Screen, and Q Torta Restaurant. I grew up alongside the very businesses that shaped this town.

Remaining an active community member and staying involved with the city has always been a priority for me, which is why I have proudly served as a member and on the Board for the Rotary Club of Placentia since 2016.

Being recognized as Best REALTOR® by the very community I'm part of carries a different kind of weight than any industry award ever could. It tells me that the way I try to show up with honesty, patience, and genuine care for the people I work with is actually landing the way I hope it does.

A Win That Belongs to This Community

This award isn't really about me. It represents:

• The first-time buyers who trusted me with one of the biggest decisions of their lives.

• The sellers who let me into their homes and their stories.

• Every late-night phone call about paperwork or nerves.

• The neighbors, friends, and clients who took a few minutes out of their day to cast a vote.

Every showing, every negotiation, that's what this title represents. It's three years of relationships, not just three years of transactions.

Navigating Real Estate with a Human Touch

Real estate can be stressful. It can be emotional. Whether someone is buying their first home, selling a place full of memories, or navigating a move during a hard season of life, my goal has always been to make that process feel a little lighter and a lot more human. Three consecutive years of this vote tells me that approach matters to people, and that means everything.

Winning this for a third year isn't the finish line. If anything, it's motivation to keep raising the bar. I want every client I work with, whether it's their first home or their fifth, to feel like they had someone in their corner who truly cared about the outcome, not just the closing.

Thank you to my past clients who took the time to share their experience. Thank you to my colleagues and friends in the local business community who've supported me along the way. Thank you to my family, who has cheered me on through every deal, every deadline, and every busy season. And thank you to the residents of Placentia who continue to place their trust in me, year after year.
