This role set the stage for her to launch her own practice, focusing on building client relationships amidst the high-priced San Diego market.

Bridget scaled her operations by pursuing a “riches in the niches” strategy. More specifically, she focused on divorces, becoming the only real estate broker in California who has both the Real Estate Divorce Specialist and Certified Divorce Real Estate Expert designations.
