Philosophy, Mission & Core Values

My Philosophy: No pressure, no sales, no stress

I want to offer you a fresh face in real estate.  My job is not to sell you a house, or convince you to make a decision that is not right for you.  Whether you are buying or selling real estate, my role as a real estate agent is to represent you and your best interests.  I provide you with the information and education necessary to make a good decision, and assist you with the complexities of the real estate transaction by managing marketing strategies, home showings, contracts, negotiations, timelines and all the details from start to finish.

 Long Realty's Mission & Mine:

To create an exceptional real estate services experience that builds long-lasting relationships. 

 Long Realty's Core Values & Mine:

Integrity, Excellence, Compassion, Leadership & Teamwork

Personal Profile 

I am originally from the suburbs of Chicago, IL but I have lived in 9 different places throughout my life.  I have relocated both across the country and across town, so I understand first-hand the stress and frustration of relocating.  I want to help make this a pleasurable and enjoyable experience for you.

My husband, Juan, and I have been married for almost 5 years.

I love animals. Our household currently has two dogs (Bisbee & Chrissy), three cats (Madison, Corwin & Flynn), two ferrets (PJ & Juniper), one turtle (Ushi), one leopard gecko (Sol) and one corn snake (Nigel).  I feel that pets are an important part of the family, and help my clients find homes that fill the needs of every family member.  Please visit Long Realty's Pets LONGing for Homes to find out about more about Tucson's pet-friendly community.

           

I own a 1920 historic home in Feldman's Neighborhood, which my husband and I have been slowly fixing up ourselves over the last four years. Check out our progress at Project Diaz House.  Historic homes are truly my passion, and I strive to learn as much as I can about them.

Some of my hobbies include home renovation, stamping & card-making, cooking, reading, and dining out with friends. (Looking for good restaurants in Tucson? Just click here to ask me!).

Most of my extended family has lived in Tucson since the early 80's, and I have spent many childhood days here visiting them and growing to love Tucson.

I went to two colleges: the University of Arizona, and Northeastern Illinois University. I changed majors several times before finally deciding on English Literature with an emphasis in Writing. During this process, I "accidentally"  found my career in real estate.
