I've been a contributor to Living in California since its launch, bringing over a decade of real estate experience to the table. My journey began in 2013 as a freelance writer for local real estate agencies, where I developed a passion for exploring market trends, home financing, and the ins and outs of the industry. Over the years, my role has expanded to include real estate marketing and transaction coordination. I’m a dedicated researcher who enjoys diving deep into the real estate world and sharing insights that help buyers, sellers, and agents navigate the dynamic housing market in California and beyond.
