FIRE FAMILY


PART OF THE FIRE FAMILY
The fire service isn’t just something I support, it’s part of my family. With both my husband and son serving in the fire community, I understand firsthand the dedication, sacrifice, and long hours that come with protecting others.
Because of that connection, I feel a deep responsibility to support firefighters, law enforcement, military families, teachers, and first responders as they navigate homeownership. Buying and selling a home can feel overwhelming, especially when your career already demands so much of you.
My goal is to be a steady, knowledgeable resource who understands both the lifestyle and the practical realities you face. Whether it’s timing a move around shift schedules, navigating VA financing, or simply having someone who “gets it,” I’m here to help make the process smoother and more informed.
Fire Preparedness & High Fire Zone Homeownership
Living in East County means understanding that homeownership often comes with additional responsibilities, especially in high fire severity zones.
From defensible space requirements and insurance availability to evolving state regulations, preparation matters. California’s new Zone Zero requirements focus on creating a non-combustible area within five feet of structures in designated high fire zones. These updates are important for both current homeowners and buyers to understand before making decisions.

In addition, programs like the Sunrise Powerlink Fire Mitigation Grant may provide financial assistance for wildfire hardening improvements in qualifying areas.

Because fire safety guidelines and compliance requirements can vary by district, I always recommend contacting your local fire department for the most current and property-specific information.
Understanding these factors upfront helps buyers make informed decisions — and helps sellers prepare proactively rather than reactively.
