If there's one word that stands out in describing Meghan Bernd, it's dedication. A master in Organizational Management with a concentration in Leadership, Meghan doesn't just lean on her academic credentials; she lives them.

From the onset, Meghan's journey has been one of dedication and determination. A seasoned professional, Meghan has intricately woven her knowledge and skills into every fabric of her business. Her vast experience in customer service, sales, and higher education ensures that she is adept at handling complex negotiations and real estate transactions. The real estate market is ever-evolving, but with Meghan at the helm, you can be assured that she is always ahead of the curve, constantly updating herself on the latest laws and regulations.

Meghan’s move from the Bay Area to San Diego in 2001 marked a new chapter in her life. While her initial career years were dedicated to higher education, Meghan's interactions with students made her realize the importance of home. To many, a degree was a means to achieving the American Dream - a better job, a better home. Meghan saw herself as not just a facilitator of this dream, but an active participant. For her, the essence of real estate isn't just about transactions; it's about aspirations, hopes, and dreams.

Ramona has a special place in Meghan's heart. It's not just a place she chose to call home since 2009, it's where she's deeply rooted as her husband grew up in beautiful Ramona. The allure of Ramona, with its rich history and serene beauty, is undeniable. But for Meghan, its significance is deeply personal. It’s where she, alongside her husband, began their journey as homeowners and where they now raise their family.

In Meghan, you're not just getting a Realtor; you're gaining an ally, a confidant, and a dedicated partner. Her commitment goes beyond contracts and deals. She is fiercely dedicated to her clients, ensuring that their dreams become her dreams. She will walk the extra mile, wear multiple hats, and ensure that your journey in real estate is smooth, seamless, and memorable.

So, if you're seeking a Realtor who embodies commitment, dedication, and passion, Meghan Bernd is the name you can trust. Your dreams are safe in her hands.

As a wife, mom, and homeowner herself, Taylor understands that your home is more than just a place to live — it’s where long-lasting memories are made.

Whether you’re looking to sell, purchase, or build your dream home, Taylor is your girl. Serving individuals and families in and around Ramona, Taylor is eager to help bring you not only the best service, but experience as well. With numerous marketing methods designed to get the job done right, the client’s complete satisfaction is her #1 goal.

Taylor has been a Ramona native for over 25 years. She has a large family of contractors, and is well known in the community. What sets Taylor apart is her unique ability to envision the potential in a home when others sometimes can't see it. She fell in love with real estate in 2018 after her and her husband sold their first home and bought land to build on. She learned first-hand that buying or selling at the right time can truly change your life, and she wants to help change others life’s too.

Taylor has over 10 years of experience in an accounting/management position which we believe to be an asset to her career as a Realtor.

When she's not working, Taylor enjoys family time with her husband and two children. She often is chauffeuring her kids to and from baseball, horse lessons and dance on the weekends. She enjoys spending vacations in Lake Havasu and Glamis Sand Dunes. She always makes sure to take plenty of pictures for her scrapbooking obsession as well.

Hi! I'm Chelsea Gaines, wife to Chad and mother to Conor and Cole. I grew up with a passion for interior design which rolled me right into my love for Real Estate. With over 20 years in the community I am very aware of all that Ramona and surrounding areas have to offer clients. With over 7 years experience I have worked with a wide variety of clients both local and out of state. Clients appreciate how determined yet calm I am during the whole transaction. From house hunting to negotiations I pride myself on making the process as simply and stress free for you as possible. 

As your realtor I am your advocate and will 100 percent be looking out for your best interest. I am here to make your homeownership dreams come true. When I am not working you will find me either at the baseball fields cheering my boys on or on the golf course with my family.
