In the early 2000s, she worked in the most sought after markets in the country including Miami and Las Vegas. Alice oversaw the pre-construction activities of five luxury developments including the proposed residences by Ivana Trump in Las Vegas, where she converted the greatest number of reservations to contract despite its location being second to others of its class. Recognizing a sudden product shift in a growing market, Alice joined efforts with the developer to quickly pivot and re-entitle two additional highrise projects to reflect the rapidly changing customer demand on the Strip.

Fun Facts:
1) I love my work and it’s hard to rip me away from it.
2) The most fulfilling moment of my work to date was establishing social services in a South Central L.A. apartment complex. With the help of the Housing Authority we brought in after school meals, tutoring, piano and basketball training for the youth. This resulted in many parents thanking us for taking their children off the gang-ridden streets and immersing them in education and sport.
3) In high school I broke a sprint track record from 1965.
4) I started working during college and immersed myself in real estate in my early 20s. I have bought myself everything I own. I believe in a strong work ethic and working for your rewards, not expecting them to be handed to you.
5) I believe people should conduct themselves LEGALLY and ETHICALLY. It’s the path that best helps you in achieving your goals and maintaining good relationships along the way.
6) I am a private pilot, partial to the flexibility of amphibious planes.
7) I trained in classical piano for 10 years and have been playing since I was eight.
8) I prefer solitude and nature to the masses, and jeans with flip flops to glamour.
9) I love cars both old and new. The most unique car I owned was the Fisker Karma.
10) My favorite quote is: “You have no enemies, you say? Alas, my friend, the boast is poor. He who has mingled in the fray of duty that the brave endure, must have made foes. If you have none, small is the work that you have done. You’ve hit no traitor on the hip. You’ve dashed no cup from perjured lip. You’ve never turned the wrong to right. You’ve been a coward in the fight.” ~Charles Mackay
