We had the good fortune of connecting with Erin Perry and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Erin, putting aside the decision to work for yourself, what other decisions were critical to your success?
Other than deciding to work for myself, the most important decision I made was moving to San Diego from my hometown in Northern California to start a life with my husband and buy our first home. This move was a game-changer for a few reasons:

New Opportunities: Had we not moved here to buy our first home, I wouldn’t have been exposed to the vibrant real estate market realized the opportunity. It has been the perfect place to authentically grow my business and meet new people.

Support System: Starting this new chapter with my husband gave me a strong support system. His encouragement and our shared dreams made the whole journey much more enjoyable and manageable.

Personal Growth: Moving to a new city pushed me out of my comfort zone and helped me grow personally. It taught me to be resilient and adaptable, which has been really helpful in my career.

First Home Purchase: Buying our first home in San Diego gave us stability and helped me understand the buyer’s perspective better. This experience has been invaluable in my real estate work.

Overall, moving to San Diego was a major milestone that contributed to both my personal and professional growth, and it’s been a fantastic adventure ever since!

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I specialize in investment properties. I come from a unique background in the music industry, which means I understand the ins and outs of working with entertainment professionals & unique self employed backgrounds.

Having worked closely with artists and industry pros, I understand the unique lifestyles and financial needs that come with these careers. I use this insider knowledge to help my clients strategize, seize opportunities, and make smart decisions to boost their financial health.

Here’s a unique aspect I bring to the table:

Investment Strategy: I create tailored investment plans that fit unique goals and dreams, but also take into consideration somewhat unconventional lifestyles and income streams.

Market Insight: I provide easy-to-understand analysis and insights into real estate trends, so you can make informed investment choices.

Financial Optimization: I offer tips and guidance on how to make and save money through smart real estate investments, taking full advantage of what the market has to offer.

I’m passionate about real estate and love helping my clients navigate the market with confidence. Whether you’re looking to invest in your first property or expand your portfolio, I’m here to make the process smooth and successful.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.

I owe the biggest thank you to my husband for supporting me and encouraging me to make a career shift. If it weren’t for his love and help getting through the growing pains of starting over, I don’t think I would have been able to do it all and feel so confident in my choices.
