Open House classes.
Grateful to have had the opportunity to share my open house tips with colleagues.
I've learned the importance of going above & beyond for my clients and I believe the efforts have made all the difference to stand out.

Cookie Monster.
The greatest compliment one can give me is the referral of a loved one or friend. 
?? I had four referral calls this week and you know what that means?

?I know mom and dad were busy making sure things were in order, but it would have been impossible without your help in keeping your rooms always ready for showings.
Enjoy your earnings and no, Maliyah, you are not chopped liver. ? 
?Special thank you to my longtime friends, Matt & Ceci for trusting me with the sale of their home.

The City of Rancho Palos Verdes provides goats in specific, enclosed areas to provide natural brush clearance for wildfire safety.
Residents of the area can find them throughout different areas and are welcome to feed them through the fence.
Have you visited the goats yet?
Museum of Ice cream
It's been some time that I've been able to play Tourist in my own city. Today, that changed.
My cousin, Kaynaz and I were guests at LA's HOTTEST museum which is currently sold out. The Museum of Icecream is the latest trend, where hipsters, kids, and everyday folks can be a kid again.
As read on the website, the goal of the museum is to allow one to be a kid again. A place where "Ideas are transformed into real life experiences. A place where flavors are mysteries, toppings are toys and sprinkles make the world a better place."
There is no denying the positive energy flowing throughout the museum. I told my cousin that I have never seen a place where people willingly help one another take photos, express happiness, and laughter.
Everyone, from staff to the visitors are on the same page: take the greatest photo imaginable to share.
There are several rooms in the museum that are separated by hallways. Of the many rooms, my favorite was a green, mint room. In this room, a friendly man was offering mochi ice cream with mint chocolate chip ice cream. Delish!
Another fun room is the SPRINKLE pool. One cannot help but jump in and play!
Of the many museums I have been fortunate to visit, this was truly on the top of the list. I rated this museum a 10 out of 10 for bringing out the child in us, a friendly staff and exquisite pieces.
They say Disneyland is the happiest place on earth, but I beg to differ.
The Museum of Icecream is the HAPPIEST place on earth!
Top 5 Mexican Restaurants in SoCal
According to History.com, Cinco de Mayo—or the fifth of May—is a holiday commemorating the date of the Mexican army’s 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War (1861-1867). A relatively minor holiday in Mexico, in the United States Cinco de Mayo has evolved into a celebration of Mexican culture and heritage, particularly in areas with large Mexican-American populations.
In honor of this holiday, I am sharing my TOP 5 favorite Mexican restaurants in the South Bay.

Fruits of your Labor!
I met Darryl and Shani last October at an open house. A few weeks after, they interviewed me and several other agents. They decided to move forward with me as their Realtor and we began viewing homes immediately. After seeing just 5 homes, we found exactly what they wanted! An updated, two-story home on a culdesac. We even got the sellers to complete the termite repairs and assist in credit towards future renovations. They were amazing team players & above all, I'm grateful that they trusted me with one of the greatest financial decisions of their lives. Welcome home, Ryan's! I hope you enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Fresh Starts
Alma, you didn't know me- but trusted the referral of my business to help you buy your first home in California and help you sell your home in Georgia. I couldn't be more thrilled for you in this investment. I've gained a greater respect for mothers of children with special needs. Wolfgang is blessed to have a mother as heroic as you! Here's to your new chapter as a homeowner in Los Angeles and know that I'm here whenever you need me.
Home is truly where the heart is.
