MEET MIRIAM
1. Where are you from?
I was born in Glendale, CA and am a 3rd generation Californian. I grew up as a pastor’s/missionary’s daughter and lived in Brazil for 4 years through part of elementary school. That time in my young life had a lot of effect on who I am today. I was a restaurant manager for over 10 years, became a legal secretary after that and now am also a paralegal as well as a Realtor. I have 3 beautiful daughters, that include a set of twins.
2. How did you get your start in real estate?
Buying/selling a home is a very emotional experience for most families. I wanted to be a different kind of realtor, its not about the money but about my clients, it is their lives and their home. I bought and sold a couple of my own homes using realtors and didn’t like the way the agents conducted business. They didn’t explain anything but just said sign, sign, sign. This inspired me to become a better realtor, one that really cares.
3. How did you get your start at Brandolino Group?
I was friends with Tammey Mai before I came to the Brandolino Group. They took me in and made me part of the family!! A lot of it was my twin Tammey Mai who also has an older daughter and a set of twins. You can’t keep us apart.
4. Why did you choose to go into real estate?
Look at answer 2 above…. Also, I thought as I was old and gray, I could continue to sell homes at my own pace and still have an income.
5. What’s your favorite part about real estate?
When buyers and sellers meet and like each other. The transaction is very emotional for both parties and as a seller, it is comforting to know that the people moving into a home is going to love it as much as they did…. 6. What is your favorite part about working at Brandolino Group?
The people I get to work with. The team is awesome and they work as a family and run like a well oiled machine.
7. Why did you choose LA / Santa Clarita?
I moved to Santa Clarita from Glendale in 1990 to raise my kids in a safe environment with good schools. Since 1990, I’ve watched Santa Clarita grow and change. I call the Santa Clarita Valley “God’s Country” and enjoy living here and working here. I am proud to show homes and welcome other families to our beautiful valley.
8. What are 3 things most people don’t know about you?
I am a computer geek and I love to fix things. That includes difficult or challenging transactions!!
I recently replaced my power window assembly and door handle in my Toyota Camry and enjoyed every minute of it. Yes, I am a geek!!!
