Licia’s real estate career began in 1995 when she turned her passion for housing people and investing in properties into a thriving venture. Over the years, she successfully managed and developed dozens of residential and commercial projects and became the go-to consultant for friends and colleagues. This journey led her to earn her real estate license in 2006, followed by her broker's license in 2013, when she founded Branches Realty—a boutique brokerage celebrated for its client-first philosophy and personalized approach. Specializing in residential, luxury, and investment properties, Licia serves the Washington metropolitan area, with a particular fondness for Silver Spring. Her deep market knowledge and extensive network of resources help sellers secure top dollar and assist buyers in finding properties that perfectly meet their needs. Clients value her ability to simplify complex decisions—whether renovating, selling, or purchasing a new property—and frequently praise her for delivering efficient and seamless results. Known for her collaborative, supportive, and tireless work ethic, Licia makes even the most daunting real estate processes enjoyable. One client shared, “She made house-hunting fun and easy,” while another emphasized her problem-solving skills, stating, “Licia helped us evaluate all our options and prepared our home for market in record time.” Whether negotiating on behalf of clients or guiding first-time homebuyers, Licia’s integrity, confidence, and attention to detail ensure that transactions are successful. As a member of the National Association of Gay & Lesbian Real Estate Professionals and a founder of the nonprofit AbodesJoy.org, Licia is deeply committed to her community. Outside of her professional life, she enjoys swimming, bowling, flyfishing, traveling, and spending time with her beautiful family.
