RENE DOLAN
REAL ESTATE SPECIALIST COLDWELL BANKER REALTY After working in the fashion industry, I transitioned to real estate in 2017 and have been working for Coldwell Banker Realty in the San Gabriel Valley, specializing in Pasadena, San Marino, Sierra Madre, and Altadena. I live in Arcadia with my husband and two daughters. I absolutely cherish my relationships with my clients before, during and after an escrow. When you go through an escrow it is incredibly layered. It hits on so many different le els from financial to emotional and everything in between. I am grateful for my clients who have chosen to work with me, and they often express great gratitude to me for guiding them through every step of the way. When I hand over the keys to my clients it has resulted in a friendship that lasts. They know that I have their backs and can count on me. Real estate makes the world go around, and being part of it is an honor. Real estate provides me an opportunity to engage in a business that is both professional and personal.
