My name is Farah Bagwill, I am an accomplished transaction coordinator who obtained my real estate license at the young age of 19. With a passion for real estate and a lineage deeply rooted in the industry, my father, a custom home builder in the Monterey Bay area, served as a significant source of inspiration.
I bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the table, I understand the intricacies of the real estate market and possess a keen eye for detail. My commitment to excellence shines through in every transaction they oversee, ensuring a seamless and efficient process for all parties involved.
Beyond my professional endeavors, I find joy in my role as a parent to three amazing children. Family is at the core of my being, and I strive to create a nurturing and supportive environment for my family..
When I'm not immersed in the world of real estate, I can be found indulging in my love for sports, particularly soccer. Whether cheering on my favorite player, who happens to be my son, my favorite team or still trying to playing the game, I have love for the competitive spirit and camaraderie that sports bring.
