About VM Real Estate

She later managed the site selection for the entire eastern portion of the United States for Countrywide Home Loans. In addition, she headed the real estate department for Fremont General Corporation and its subsidiaries throughout the nation.

After mastering the corporate real estate arena, Vonnie spent some time with the brokerage firm Julien Studley, Inc. in Los Angeles as a tenant representative, negotiating a myriad of transactions throughout the Los Angeles market.

Vonnie left brokerage to become the Vice President of Commercial Properties for the largest developer in Santa Barbara, where she was responsible for a commercial portfolio in excess of 1.6 million square feet. In her role as a corporate executive, Vonnie formed trusted relationships with local business and industry leaders who sought her expertise and partnership.
