Having been raised in San Diego, California, Aillene loves sunshine and the outdoors. When she has free time, she spends it with her husband, Jackson and their two dogs, Crystal the maltipoo and Rupert the bernedoodle. They love long hikes, bike rides, and swimming. Aillene loves to take quick weekend getaway trips and plans at least two longer vacations a year. Some of her favorite places to visit are Puerto Vallarta, Costa Rica, New York City, London and the Virgin Islands. She also goes to Seattle a few times a year to visit her adult son, Drew, who recently graduated from the University of Washington and is now an Environmental Scientist in the Washington area.
Aillene followed a career opportunity to Houston Texas in 2014. She lived in Texas for 6 years, working in management and leadership training, prior to moving back west to Phoenix in 2020. She wanted to be closer to family, who still live in San Diego, while also being close to her husband’s family here in the Valley. Aillene has planted roots in Phoenix and likes to be involved in the community. She volunteers at Homefurgood, a no-kill animal shelter, where she helps coordinate corporate volunteer events, and she also attends a variety of adoption events in the community. She is also a member of the Asian Real Estate Association of America (AREAA) and actively participates by being on committees within the organization.
Her passion for Real Estate has existed since she was in her twenties, and she knew one day, she would apply all the skills and experience learned in the corporate world to her own business. There is nothing she enjoys more now, than being of service to her clients and assisting them in having the most delightful experience, while achieving the most favorable outcome in their buying and/or selling transactions.
