In celebration of the National Hispanic Heritage Month 🪅, I would like to share with you this recognition I received this summer: Top 100 Latino Real Estate Agent in the Northeast Region by the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals .

I’m honored and thankful for my clients who allow me the opportunity to help them achieve their real estate goals and dreams. Being at the forefront; providing guidance every step of the way, helping close homeownership gap and inequality, and much more. This is my mission. There is still a lot to do.

Even though the Hispanic homeownership has risen since 2014, “new homeowners attributed to Latinos decreased from its peak of 68% in 2015 to 18.1% in 2021”, according to the 2021 State of Hispanic Homeownership Report.

Let’s join forces to help more families accomplish their American Dream. Let me help you find a place to call home.🏡💫

We 💛 repeat clients!

Our clients have been investing in real estate for quite sometime; however, their pre-existing real estate portfolio was not performing at its best. We suggested to look at other real estate opportunities. Since then, they have been upgrading their real estate portfolio with better properties and ROI.

Mission: Homeownership for ALL 🏡

I’m on it! 🫡🙋🏻‍♀️

Either lack of knowledge of the resources out there or information are not being widely shared — these are some of the problems I saw when purchasing my first home which led me start a career as a real estate practitioner and soon enough led me to AREAA Boston which has allowed me and others provide more opportunities within our communities.

Such as this housing fair & expo: an all-day event opened for the public educating and offering resources for everyone who is looking to achieve their goals of homeownership.

It has been my honor to lead this year as the Community Outreach Chair at AREAA Boston and work with my team members in putting this informative and meaningful event. This wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our valuable partners, sponsors, volunteers and members. ✨

As part of this year's Community Outreach initiatives at AREAA Boston, we decided to partner up with to support the with funding and volunteering time by each of our members.

I am thankful for this opportunity to make the world a better place. There are many people who are struggling and just the fact that 1 in 5 families with children are food insecure is heartbreaking.

Make a difference. Support your local food pantry. 🎗

Last month, we kicked off AREAA's 2022 Diversity & Fair Housing Summit in Washington, D.C. with record breaking number of attendees.

Although, we were not able to meet in person with the elected officials, it didn't stop us. Our members gathered in the hotel room to conduct the meetings virtually.

AREAA Boston had the largest delegation joining this summit to advocate for our legislative goals of creating and promoting affordable housing, removing barriers to AAPI homeownership, and expanding language and credit access to a greater part of the population.

The work does not stop here! Follow me and for what we are up to!
