\n Meet Laurie\n

A fourth-generation San Diegan who never left East County.

\n

I grew up here, I raised my family here, and I still live in the Mt. Helix area today. When I tell a client what a street feels like at sunset or which school pickup line moves fastest, it’s because I’ve lived it \u2014 not looked it up.

\n

Beyond my own transactions, I serve as a CAR Director, 2026 CAR Region 30 Chair, and 2024 PSAR President, active in Government Affairs on behalf of homeowners across the county. I’m also President of the La Mesa Park and Recreation Foundation and co-own MAC Printing and Signs with my family.

\n

My clients are mostly move-up buyers and San Diegans relocating within the county for more space, a better-fit school, or a yard their family can actually grow into. Whatever brings you to East County, I’d love to help you get there.
