FOUNDER'S MESSAGE

The beginning of the Echelon Properties' story is simple. In 2022, I founded the Echelon Properties brand, a business and career goal I had back in 1998, which is when I first thought about becoming a real estate investor. I wanted a career and lifestyle doing something I would love and enjoy, and I love helping people.

Ultimately, my goal is to make the Echelon Properties a trusted brand and home to those of us who dedicate their lives and diverse experiences to trying to improve the lives of others and the real estate industry as a whole. As a real estate sales agent with eXp Realty of California Inc., I was able to take Echelon Properties from a vision to reality.

It is our place to ‘create happiness in the universe.’ I enjoy and value my relationships with like-minded people throughout the real estate community and find deep satisfaction in seeing our ideas, innovations, and hard work result in real improvements in the lives of our fellow professionals and clients.

I’ve been inspired by many individuals throughout my involvement in lending, banking, mass marketing, mentoring, volunteering, and sport. In addition to the resilience, drive and the understanding of sacrifice I inherited from my parents, it was the international education and life experiences that gave me a broader perspective in life. 

Growing up with hyperactivity disorder meant I had to find my own way to succeed – but the encouragement and support of my family and school was crucial. Looking ahead, my vision for the Echelon Properties brand is to scale the D.B.A. into an international real estate team-orientated business where I can give others the chance to be successful and achieve their dreams, regardless of the market and obstacles. 

When I was brainstorming and thinking of business names that defined value and purpose, I decided to brand myself as "Echelon Properties" so that it expresses everything my partners and I represent as well as the level of service I want the Echelon Properties brand to be known for. 

The Echelon Properties brand symbolizes our ambition to be at the absolute top of the real estate sector – a mark of recognized quality. It also symbolizes the ambitions and life accomplishments of our clients, their loved-ones and our team. Our mission is to be the best at helping our clients buy their dream homes. Everything we do is driven by a strong desire to be of service to our clients so they can "live happily ever after."

From a business diversification perspective, I am working on a business plan that focuses on multi-family shipping container homes and rural development. At the base of Abraham Maslow's 'hierarchy of human needs' we find the physiological level, which encompasses the basic, yet self-preserving needs, such as sleep, food, and shelter. 

With all things considered, especially the homeless crisis that was caused by the repercussions of the pandemic, deciding to finally establish a business that helps people locate and purchase a home that establishes happiness, safety, shelter and mental health was easy.

I am so excited for our future. We are in a privileged position: we have a unique opportunity to help our clients achieve their dreams while inspiring excellence within our team. Only time will tell what lies ahead but we will continue to evolve and have fun while we accomplish and inspire!
