In the last 5 years, Jeremy has averaged over $60 million in sales and 30+ transactions per year. In 2017, Jeremy earned #1 individual real estate agent at Strandhill/Christies Int’l real estate in sales volume and transactions (company-wide volume was close to $1 Billion in sales).

Jeremy has lived in Manhattan Beach for the last 20 years, having moved here from Arizona where he attended the University of Arizona and earned his degree in Regional Development (Real Estate) and Business. Jeremy grew up in San Diego and has a lovely wife and 2 children who attend our top-ranked public school system. He is active with his childrens’ sports, schools, and local charities.

In addition to our family home, we’ve invested in income-producing properties (the best investments we’ve ever made!), so I’m a believer in investing for the future and offer a wide range of first-hand knowledge.

One thing I’m not is a high-pressure salesperson. My clients tell me they appreciate my advisory skills and that I’m a one-stop-shopping real estate resource.  I understand the various ever-changing phases of life, family needs and how to live successfully here.

Originally from Arizona, childhood summer vacations to California sparked a lifelong love of the ocean and the beach.  I moved here shortly after graduating from the University of Arizona.  I’ve established deep roots in the South Bay, living in Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, San Pedro and Marina del Rey over the years, and often joke that I’ve been doing this so long, that if given an address in Manhattan, Hermosa or Redondo, I can probably envision the homes on any given block!

Working through high school and college, my early career days were dedicated to learning all aspects of real estate.  I worked with various companies that specialized in land speculation, industrial warehouses, condo conversions and shopping centers.  I’ve always been a self-starter and got my first job when I was 14 at a nearby interior design studio, doing odd jobs and accounting (yes, even at 14 I had a knack for numbers!).

Although the world of real estate is fast-paced and I often work long hours in order to provide top-shelf service to my clients, I take time to enjoy time with family, friends and my favorite activities of volleyball, paddle surfing and fundraising for VHL cancer research through a non-profit we founded, the Double Strand VHL Cancer Research Foundation (www.DoubleStrand.org).

Alli grew up in Manhattan Beach, attending Grand View Elementary, Manhattan Beach Intermediate (MBI) and graduating from Mira Costa High School.  After graduating from the University of San Diego and living in London for a year, a long and windy career path began.

With a natural gift for design and creativity, Alli was drawn to careers in the fashion industry and interior design.  Although she majored in business and marketing, the need for a creative outlet was always present.

Alli married her husband, Tome, a Hermosa Beach Native, and they live in Manhattan Beach, where they are raising their 3 boys.  Even though they both grew up in the South Bay, times have changed dramatically and trying to keep all the values and teach their boys the way they grew up has been a challenge.

Learning early on that one of their children was diagnosed with Autism, Alli has been an advocate and a loud voice in the South Bay.  Living in a town where perfection is expected, she knows the challenge of raising a child that may be seen as “different”.  Alli embraces her children’s differences and has discovered the beauty in the imperfections of her children.  She was featured in a local South Bay HEALTH magazine where she shares her journey with her children.  Alli has created a blog to share stories with other families who may be experiencing similar challenges, and wrote a book; Not Broken – How My Son with Autism Taught Me to Live.

Being able to connect with others is one of Alli’s greatest gifts.  She is a certified Life Coach and uses her talents to help others everyday.  She takes each Real Estate client under her wing and guides them through the entire process, always becoming friends if not already.  Having grown up in Manhattan Beach, she is able to tutor them on everything from schools, local services and community.  Her design skills come into play and are a tremendous asset to her clients in preparing their home for sale and understanding the potential of each property.  Being able to work side by side with her mom, Susan, is an added gift.  They complement each other and each brings a special perspective to their clients.  They are a seasoned dynamic team and a joy to work with.

While no two transactions are identical, Cindy emphasizes a personalized approach for each individual client. She does this by asking important questions, listening and providing feedback and recommendations based on her expertise and 20 years of experience. She has a meticulous eye and spots challenges that may arise before and/or during a transaction. It is this practice that has fueled her success with her loyal, repeat clients and referrals.

Cindy’s clients often say that you can find her underneath a cabinet, touching walls, inspecting closets and examining obscure places around a home during previews, a trait she inherited from her dad. She is adept at quickly approximating improvements and costs that will garner a seller top dollar for their home or save a buyer from hidden financial traps.

Cindy is an avid athlete, Mom and charitable member with deep roots in the South Bay community. She brings great energy, creativity and strong negotiation skills to every opportunity she is a part of. Respect for her clients time, finances and goals are of utmost importance to her. Cindy knows it takes teamwork to turn a house into a home and her partnerships with local designers, contractors and subs can bring your vision to life. If you value an agent who seamlessly connects with others, works tirelessly for her clients and has the ability to streamline a complex and multi-faceted transaction customized your way, reach out to Cindy.

As a trusted Real Estate Advisor, she helps her clients safely navigate the often complicated South Bay real estate market through a combination of timely market insights and on-the-ground experience.

Deb was raised in Calabasas, California and attended UC Santa Barbara on a Division I tennis scholarship. After graduation she worked in fashion sales for brands including Diesel and Vivien Westwood, then began a long career as a trauma nurse to ultimately become an accomplished NYC real estate agent. She is now firmly planted in the South Bay and continuing her path of success in the Los Angeles real estate industry.
