Vanessa’s entire life has centered around real estate. Her grandfather was the President of the Beverly Hills Real Estate board and her mother is heavily involved in local 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 have. She attended University of San Diego with a degree in English literature and upon graduating returned to Newport Beach and started working at the Newport Board of Realtors where she worked with Orange County realtors with their continuing education, teaching courses on real estate technology, and hosting local events. After 8 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 3 years with the firm she was promoted to office manager and ran an office of 10 agents. Realizing the benefit that the luxury auction platform at Harcourts Prime Properties could provide to her clients she switched firms in 2017. The combination of Vanessa's experience and leadership skills, coupled with Harcourts expertise, tools, brand, and culture will make for an extremely successful partnership. Vanessa currently lives in Newport Heights with her two Boston Terriers, Coco and Igor. She also has a culinary degree and loves to cook. When she isn’t working you can usually find her at a new restaurant or at the various food events in Orange County.
