It is my belief that in order to succeed, a person
should do what they are good at and what they enjoy.
From this, I have created a team of creative, educated and hard-working
specialists. My administrative team is effectively split into a
successful model of management, accounting, advertising, marketing
and logistical coordination. Having a specialist in each of these
areas allows me to do what I do best - Sell Real Estate!
Wanting to give outstanding customer service to each and every
client, I have also recruited, trained and developed a strong sales
staff that provides to you the skill and service I am known for.
Each of the sales associates on my team demonstrates a strong commitment
to excellence and a thorough knowledge of the market.
Please feel free to browse though the Administrative
and Sales Agent portion of my site to learn
more about each of these dynamic individuals! |

Jennifer Ehrman
Jennifer grew up
around the Southern California real estate industry. Her parents

than playing "house" like the other kids, Jen spent an inordinate
amount of time "selling property" out of the family garage.
Pursuing an interest in politics and law, Jennifer
obtained a B.A. in Political Science at the University of
California, San Diego before attending law school in Northern
California.
Jennifer's wide range of experience includes work in the field
of law as well as several years spent in the entertainment
industry as an Emmy-nominated television producer. This diverse
background serves her well in the sophisticated, high-end
residential and income property markets in which she specializes.
From Brentwood to Beachwood, Jennifer's main objective is
to serve the best interests of her clients, guiding them through
the process of accomplishing their real estate goals with
the utmost integrity and professionalism.
