Your Realtor in the SW Riverside County area of Inland Empire...more specifically, Temecula California.  We are about 45 min North of San Diego, South of Orange County and about the same distance from the Coast and Big Bear!   Centrally located is the ideal reason to be in this beautiful wine region!  The weather is superb with moderate temperatures most of the year.  It gets warm in the summer but because of the positioning of the mountains(in the Rainbow Gap), we get an afternoon breeze from the ocean that blows out the heat, which is why the grapes do so well.  We have 33 wineries in town now; call when your in town tasting!   

I have been in Real Estate in Southern California for almost 6 years.  My educational background is marketing and advertising and presently my partner/husband and I employ 1 Marketing Assistant and 2 Transaction Coordinators.  Even though my specialty is in residential and investment properties (land and residential). I spend alot of time working with developers on land deals. I spend a great deal of time educating myself on technology updates, legal perspectives, real estate and contractual changes.  My husbands previous career prior to retirement, was sales and marketing for 20 years at a fortune 500 company.  

    Referring business out to other agents in their area of expertise is important to me because my bottom line is that my client is getting the best possible service.  If I don't know the area, it does my client a disservice by using me; I will do what is best for them and refer it out.  If you specialize in an area and put the client first, use technology to its fullest and pride yourself on customer service, I would love to talk to you about referring future business to you.  I know the Inland Valley very well from many different angles (developer, home buyer, seller and investment properties for long term).  Here are a few of the home websites to preview if your in the mood.....  www.ChefsDreamHome.com www.NaturViewHome.com www.CopperCanyonView.com www.BabblingBrookHome.com  www.42300CeeCee.com www.41830BillyJoe.com

     In case you're not sure what QSC is in the block above. It stands for Quality Service Certified.   http://www.qualityservice.org/search.aspx   When I do business with a client, they will be sent a survey at the end, that goes directly back to the sending 3rd party. That 3rd party (QSC) immed. uploads it to the internet for the world to see.  Last year only 3 agents acquired Platinum status in the Inland Valley, I was one of them.  I maintained a level 5 satisfaction rating all year.  I am a glutton for punishment I guess :)  it keeps me on my toes to make sure my client needs always come first before my paycheck!  I like to do business with people that have the same philosophy.

   I chair Toys for Tots each year for which Coldwell Banker is the largest sponsor and driving force.  Last year alone we raised 10,300 toys for our local families that were either in permanent, unfortunate situations or temporary transitional phases.  We also added to that with hundreds of dollars in food purchase for our local Pantry.  

   My husband, recently retired from the communications industry, acquired his real estate and also Brokers license.  Those sit neatly in a file while he follows our 15 year old around on the golf course.  My son travels around on the junior tours and will be representing the USA for IJGT, up in Canada this summer. I don't think Hubby has any intentions of coming out of retirement  especially since he has so much fun walking the golfcourse with our son.  You can reach us both on Active Rain now though.  I also have another athlete in the form of a 13 yr old club Center-Mid player for SWSC.  When we are not 100% engrossed in our business, we are fully engrossed in our taxi service for 2 :)

   Dare I forget to add our additional family member....our 8 yr old Yorkie, Sven "Louie" Forss  (not the smartest tool in the shed but loved nonetheless)  

I serve the Inland Empire but to be more specific, I handle Temecula, Murrieta, Wildomar, Perris, Menifee, Sun City, Moreno Valley, Anza, Lake Elsinore and areas surrounding, as well as areas that are included in these cities which include De Luz, La Cresta &  Wine Country!   It sounds like a large area but it is all within 20 min of my home!  

Please check out my testimonials and QSC rating on http://www.qualityservice.org/ and hear what clients are saying about me.

I won't use anyone but lisa! She did things I didn't think my own sister would do.  -   Tony and Rochelle, now of Austin Texas

Lisa is our new family member, she really cares about her clients and puts them first.  My husband is a hard to please type sales person himself and even he thinks she is awesome. We have already referred her to 2 friends-  Mike and Emily of Temecula
