Because sometimes the mortgage, the cost of living, or even the area you’re in can quietly suck the JOY and FREEDOM and you want to live a lifestyle that more fully expresses you. That’s why I’m here. This is my why.
I’m a Southern California mom of two, known as “the property girl,” Portia Franklin. I bring creativity, resilience, and a deep passion for helping people build better lives that house JOY Purpose and Freedom that they have been yearning for, through the buying, selling, and the rental process.I offer Serenity Homes on both the selling market and the rental market tohelp families be apart of communty that feels their cup!!
With a background in market research and direct sales, I’ve developed innovative strategies that make the process of renting, buying, or selling more engaging, strategic, and results-driven for clients. My approach is designed to simplify complexity while keeping the experience clear, human, and even enjoyable.
As a mother who understands the challenges of raising children on the spectrum and the value of having the things you need near you to do you and live out your family experiences, I learned firsthand how powerful it is to be in the right community. That experience shaped my belief that real estate is NOT just about property—it’s about PLACEMENT and maximizing the value of what a mortgage should provide: a way to live out the values you hold dear in a community that supports those values. The right home and the right environment can provide support, resources, and connection that allow families to truly thrive.
That insight fuels my commitment to helping clients do more than find a house. I help them find a place where they can build a life that supports their goals, growth, and wellbeing.
My experience spans markets across Southern California. I specialize in helping families explore rental options first so they can “test drive” a community before making one of their biggest financial decisions, as well as guiding clients in selecting the right financing approach for their situation. In simple terms, I help families/ investors lease and manage their homes strategically, while also supporting individuals and families in making smart, purpose-driven decisions—whether for a primary residence, second home, or income property.
Through my network, including the Exclusive Academy of Options, I help clients explore creative pathways and positioning strategies designed to strengthen long-term outcomes.
Beyond real estate, I am deeply passionate about building community, supporting families, and helping people turn life’s challenges into opportunities for growth. I continually invest in leadership development so I can better serve my clients and help them position themselves to win.
At the core of everything I do is one mission: helping people reclaim more freedom, more clarity, and more of themselves through the place they call home.
