I guess you could say it makes sense that I ended up being a real estate agent.  Real estate and the love for houses is in my blood:  my Dad builds custom houses, primarily in Hawaii, my Mom’s degree is in interior design, and my Mom’s side of the family has long been in the concrete and landscape design business.  I grew up with carpentry books and design books all around me and I have to believe that helped lead to my love of real estate.

For a long time, I knew being a Realtor was something I wanted to do “someday” and lucky for me, it happened sooner than expected.  After graduating from UCSB (Go Gauchos!) I moved to San Diego and found work in the event planning industry and marketing/management positions.  Once we had our daughter in 2006, I decided it was time for the big leap to becoming a Realtor and I have not looked back since.  As far as life outside of real estate, I really enjoy spending time with friends and family.  We have two kids and enjoy summer days at the beach, camping, hiking and enjoying all San Diego has to offer.  This really is a spectacular place to call home and our whole family is very happy to live here.    If you are looking for your first time home, move up home, or forever home, let’s work together and find you a great place!

"Jonna has guided me through the real estate process on two occasions now, and I simply cannot recommend her highly enough. She made the entire process straightforward, was on top of every detail every step of the way, gave me the heads up on what to expect, was timely, honest, patient, thoughtful and extremely personable. I simply couldn't imagine a better person to work with!"– Cassi H.

"I retained Jonna to help purchase a home for me and my family. I have worked with real estate agents several times, both purchasing and selling property. However, my experience with Jonna was far and away the most pleasurable. Jonna listened to my needs, and took control of the home buying process, interfacing with the seller's agent, loan broker, escrow officer and inspectors, to make the process as smooth as possible for me. Even though Jonna is based in San Diego, she helped me to purchase a home in San Clemente, and expertly familiarized herself with the south Orange County real estate market, so that I never felt disadvantaged by having retained an "out of town" agent." – Kody D.

"Thanks for making my first purchase so easy! You were great to work with - I'm so glad Lisa gave me your name. The place is looking great, thanks again! " – Sarah A.

"Jonna was amazing to work with. She is so easy going and always puts the customer first. We found our home in a short amount of time and closed just as quickly. I would work with Jonna again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home."  - Rachel V."

Thanks again for a great transaction....you do the best job of following up of any agent I have worked with over the past few years which makes the whole process go so much smoother." - Dawn B., Mortgage Broker

“I've said it before but I'll say it again... It was a wonderful experience having you as our agent and I would and will recommend you as an agent anytime!” – Beth E.

“Buying a home can be an overwhelming process and Jonna made things run very smoothly: communicated in a timely manner, gave us sound advice, and was very knowledgeable. She is very personable and makes it a priority to spend a significant amount of time finding a home that matches your "wish list." Her friendly disposition and positive outlook make working with her a very wonderful experience!!” --Justin and Lisa
