Angela has always loved following open house signs. They are like a treasure hunt for adults, never knowing what kind of excitement lies at the end. Her favorite treasure is usually a fixer, though she can appreciate a fresh, shiny dwelling as well.
Her interest in real estate kicked off in earnest during the real estate boom of 2003. After a very long time, Angela and her husband finally beat out a dozen other offers to secure their first home and have had to fight for every home they’ve purchased.
Angela knows what it feels like to be competing with other offers and how to be the strongest offer submitted. Since then, they’ve bought, renovated and flipped numerous properties. They’ve done drywall, skim coating, window replacement, foundation, tile work and the list goes on. She’s not a licensed contractor, but Angela takes pride in knowing a thing or two about home renovations and has taken interior design courses as well.
Upon moving to Los Angeles in 2007, Angela and her husband first settled in Little Tokyo, a fantastic little hub of culture and nightlife. Yet, their lives progressed and they knew they wanted a more traditional neighborhood to start a family. They were itching to get their hands on something that they could put their sweat into. They chose the most idyllic neighborhood in Echo Park, Angeleno Heights. Since their move, Echo Park and the entire Eastside and beyond have experienced a huge transformation, which is exciting to be a part of.
With a background as a lobbyist and policy analyst, Angela knows the importance of effective negotiating. Couple this with her passion for real estate and working with cool people and you’ve got a recipe for a successful partnership.
If Angela is not working with clients, you will likely see her walking the streets of her neighborhood with her daughter, son and husband, running Echo Park Lake or grabbing a coffee at a local coffee shop. She is also an active member of the Junior League of Los Angeles, heads up outreach efforts to maintain the holding room at her local police station for the Silver Lake Moms Club and is active in her church.
