Los Angeles bewitched Victoria Velazquez as an undergrad at USC where she earned a bachelor’s in public policy, planning, and development with an emphasis in real estate finance. She loved venturing off campus and exploring the city, and it eventually caught her in its magic spell: The Mexico City native officially became an LA resident in 2014. After graduating, she worked in the finance world and with early-stage startups where all her roles focused on creating incredible client experiences. However, it wasn’t until she embarked on a real estate career that all her interests aligned.
Today, Victoria combines her passion for architecture and interiors with a rich background in technology and finance to make her client’s wishes come true. Victoria marries her technological knowledge, a tireless work ethic, and a customer-centric approach to become the go-to advisor for all your real estate needs. Having lived in many of LA’s neighborhoods, Victoria helps people identify and find their dream home or investment property. Her goal is to be a life-long resource: helping, guiding, and supporting people through all their real estate needs. She loves getting to know her clients. Her genuine love for people and the work behind real estate is evident in every interaction.
Outside of work, Victoria leads an active lifestyle. She is committed to making an impact with causes she feels passionate about.
