Emerald Bay Connection

 

Good Morning,

As we close 2018, I wanted to thank all of the people that have supported me in my real estate journey. Because of your support, my team has sold more homes in Emerald Bay than any other agent in 2018.

 

I am grateful and humbled to be working with a great team……..Thank You.

 

DID YOU KNOW? J .P. Morgan Chase, Goldman Sachs and the other four U.S. heavyweights made so much money in the first three quarters of 2018 that they’ve already topped last year’s total haul. Boosted by the new tax cuts, they’re heading toward their first $100 billion year ever, smashing the $93 billion record from 2016. (Bloomberg)

 

DID YOU KNOW? California's top 1 percent of personal income tax earners (164,000 people) generate about 50% of all of the states personal income taxes. Personal income tax collections in fiscal 2018-19 will account for nearly 70% of the state’s total general fund revenues and transfers. Sales taxes are expected to represent roughly 20% and corporate taxes another 8% (CNBC)

 

DID YOU KNOW? Family offices have become a force in investing, with up to $4 TRILLION of assets, more than hedge funds and equivalent to 6% of the value of the world’s stock markets. There are somewhere between 5,000 and 10,000 of these offices based in America and Europe and in Asian hubs such as Singapore and Hong Kong. The average family office returned 16% in 2017 and 7% in 2016. (The Economist)

What differentiates me from other brokers

 

 

I am passionate about Emerald Bay and my community of Laguna Beach. I understand intimately how the market evolves hill by hill and neighborhood by neighborhood. I love what I do and care profoundly about where I live.

 

 

 

 

You can be assured how deeply committed I am to my clients. I am a communicator who defines our goals and then forges above and beyond to make sure our goals are met.

 

 

The world’s landscape is changing daily. Information is easily accessible. Between my 25 years of marketing experience, combined with intensive market analysis, the use of print and advertising, all forms of social medial, and of course the commercials keep the properties I represent front and center.

 

 

 

 

First impression sets the tone of the listing. How the property is furnished and the feeling you have learning about the property and then arriving at the property is vital. I am hands on from conception to closing.
