Vanessa’s entire life has centered around real estate. Her grandfather was the President of the Beverly Hills Association of Realtors and her mother was heavily involved in California real estate. She has a passion for homes and her clients. Growing up in Newport Beach, she has the expertise and knowledge of the coastal Orange County market and area that most agents do not. She attended the University of San Diego and graduated with a degree in English. Upon graduating she returned to Newport Beach and started working at the Newport Beach Board of Realtors where she assisted local realtors with their continuing education, taught courses on real estate technology, and hosted local events.
After eight years with the real estate board, she started working for a boutique real estate firm in Newport
Beach where she focused on distressed properties and as the market shifted, standard sales. After two years with the firm, she was promoted to office manager and ran an office of ten agents.
She made the switch to Harcourts Prime Properties in 2017 where she felt her experience and leadership would be more beneficial and it has been a successful partnership ever since.
Vanessa currently lives in Newport Heights with her Boston Terrier, Igor. She is heavily involved in the arts and local philanthropy. She serves on the Arts, Business, and Leadership Council for Segerstrom Center for the Arts and is a Guilds Member. She is also a member of the Orange County Museum of Art’s Art Cult, and the Newport Beach Arts Foundation. She completed the Distinguished Citizens Program for Newport Beach and serves on the local real estate board’s Local Government Relations Committee. When she isn’t working or volunteering you can find her playing pickleball or going to concerts.
