Rather than acting as a "sales person" I take an advisory approach to assisting clients who are considering selling their home or buying a new home.
Having actively worked as a real estate professional for over 25 years, and being fortunate enough to have lived in North Tustin since 1968, I consider it an honor when clients trust me to assist them during such an important transition period in their lives.

Celebrating Simple Pleasures in the New Year at the Great Park
It was another gorgeous day in Southern California and I coerced my husband and friends to come with me to the Antique Fair/Flea Market which recently moved to the Great Park in Irvine just off Sand Canyon and the 5 freeway. Fun finds of the day were these brooches for $3 which will dress up a picture frame… And these spoons for $1 which will make darling stamped herb garden tags… After... [Read more]
Tustin is Heaven on Earth for Gardeners
After being happily stuffed over the holidays my body is craving fresh, organic fruit. I am so thankful we planted fruit trees a few years ago because my family is never without some form of fresh fruit to pick & enjoy. For those of you who don’t already have fruit trees, they can be implemented into your garden design beautifully no mattter how small or formal your yard. Citrus are evergreen... [Read more]
Don’t be alarmed by home values determined by popular internet sites. Here’s a great article from the Wall Street Journal…

Bring Family & Friends to See “Oliver” this week at Tustin’s “Broadway in the Park”
I love going to Peppertree Park for the “Concerts in the Park” series sponsored by the City of Tustin and annual “Broadway in the Park” show sponsored by TACFA (Tustin Area Fine Arts Council.) This year’s musical, “Oliver,” is one of my all-time favorites! What makes the experience even more fun is bringing food and libations to share and seeing the... [Read more]
Are North Tustin Residents prepared for the upcoming fire season?
I recently attended the ReadySetGo meeting at Bent Tree Park in Lemon Heights which was very informative and frankly, a little scary. According to fire authorities, Peter’s Canyon Regional Park is at the end of a wind tunnel which could carry a fire to our area in 15 minutes and burn our hills in as little as one hour. As a result, FEMA recently awarded funds to the Orange County Fire Authority... [Read more]
Your Home is Your Sanctuary
Sorting through and tossing out years of old magazines in my latest attempt to cleanse my home and mind of excess baggage, the torn pages of “eye candy” I have collected have given me some clarity on how I want my home to “feel.” Over two decades I have filed away or given to clients favorite vignettes from Veranda, Southern Living, Cottage Living, House Beautiful, Traditional...

North Tustin Real Estate Update
So…it only appears to have been awhile since I posted because some HACKER from Turkey (the Turkey) attacked my site and I didn’t back up my more recent posts. Maybe he was jealous of that we are living Under the Tustin Sun and he’s not. Ha! OK – quick update on what the heck is going on with real estate values in 92705. Short story? Low inventory and moderate demand... [Read more]
North Tustin Housing Prices
I was pleasantly surprised today when I went to meet an appraiser on a home I had sold. To establish value I need to bring him/her recent sales. There were over 20 sales since January asking for $850,000 – $1,100,000 in North Tustin. Yes, prices are down but our area continues to be an extremely desirable place to live. Why? I believe it is the schools, larger lot sized and overall community... [Read more]
Tustin Chili Cook Off!
Today’s Tustin Chili Cook-off is the largest in the Western United States! And I missed it…however, my daughter made it. We are all chili lovers. One year I had a booth and we made gallons and gallons of chili which was all gone by 11:00. I didn’t compete for two reasons: to be a true chili competitor you have to make the chili on site and the actual chili ingredients have to be... [Read more]
