How exciting a New Year…Which means a New Normal? We have an opportunity to have a very special year. Being a member with AREAA for the last few years, has taught me so much about the capabilities, that our foundation has to offer. Growing up in the Bay Area, I was fortunately raised by a big multi-cultured family. I have found when we fail, there are lessons. I know I am not perfect, and I have had my share of failures…If you embrace those failed moments, you will embrace the lesson you will learn. You’ll see the opportunities. Everyday, I do my best to grow, and push myself to do better. AREAA North Los Angeles, has great leaders. They have our chapter ready to take on 2023 as a challenge to show the growth that we have all been working towards these last few years. The pandemic has taught us that even with restraints, our service is still essential. We, as an organization, will come together and continue the path our predecessors have paved for our community to provide the best possible service for the future of potential homeowners. Our Goal should be to guide, teach, and educate all persons interested in owning and investing in Real Estate. I hope, that I can inspire our chapter, to work together to provide vital information for our Real Estate investors, and to utilize for their entire Real property portfolio. For everyone who participates in keeping AREAA strong with purpose relevant to our communities and essential to the American and world economy. On behalf of AREAA National and our North Los Angeles Chapter, thank you for supporting and joining our journey into the New Year of 2023!
