Olivia Renella is a colleague and treasure of a human being who I am so proud to call a friend.

I know Olivia because she is a business partner who does business development for a lender I work with (shout out to Mark McDonell at CMG Home Loans!).  Olivia has lived many places but she attended Costa Mesa High School and has deep roots in the Costa Mesa community. She also helps me tremendously with any community events I am part of here because she loves the city so much! 

Olivia offers some great insights on what makes Costa Mesa so special and why home ownership is a great goal for anyone looking to invest in the area. She's a pleasure to hear from so take a listen (and side note - she also has a magical singing voice and does gigs all around Orange County!)
