Tina Braddock - Owner and Manager

 As a Mom, I have worn many hats! A common theme throuhgout my life has been a love of both helping and caring for people. 

 In my early years I worked my way through college in restaurants and the service industry. This lasted well over 35 years! I have a beautiful blended family of 4 boys. I’ve been a single mom, step-mom, and adopted mom which overall has given me a wide range of perspectives! I managed to raise them all through active sports, while juggling a career, being on the board of the PTA, and while running one of the larger city-wide basketball programs. 

 During the last 20 years of my service industry work I ran the food and beverage banquet facility at a busy Orange County golf course. I was able to get to know many of my customers on a personal level, many of whom were older. I witnessed a lot of things that affect the aging population and realized a lot of their needs were not being met adequately. Most of them didn’t have family around that could help them either. As the end of my contract with the golf course approached I began thinking of what I would do next. 

 Both my mother and mother-in-law were single women who were going to need the assistance of family close by and it seemed like everything was pointing me in the direction of helping our aging community in some way. 

Around this time I came across an article in the paper about people starting their second careers. One woman in particular became a fiduciary, which is something that connected with both my skills and experience. I love numbers, accounting, protecting the rights of people, and being an advocate for those in need. All of this connected back to my love and desire to help others. Something just felt right!

 Between my love of decorating and staging homes, mixed with my fiduciary skills, I found that doing estate sales would offer my clients a list of services that they may have been in need of! I live in the high desert full time and have found myself immersed in the community. I have joined and served on several clubs, boards, and causes. It’s truly become my home! My hope is to be able to continue to help the families of this community with the utmost care, compassion, and integrity.
