As the President of the Horse Property Broker’s Association, she successfully sold properties throughout Southern California, including notable sales like The Rancho Bernardo Riding Club, San Luis Rey Training Center, Faubus Farms, and various large land parcels.

Beverly’s love for animals has been evident since her early years, engaging in activities such as swimming in underwater shows with dolphins and sea lions at Sea World San Diego. Notably, she holds the distinction of being the first woman to ride a Killer Whale, the original Shamu. In addition to real estate and equestrian pursuits, she has participated in sled dog racing, dog agility, and Cowboy Dressage with her Morgan gelding, Meadowcreek Maverick. Beverly has also honed her creativity as a gourd artist, earning the Best of Division award for five consecutive years at the Nevada County Fair and Draft Horse Harvest Festival. With her extensive experience in real estate, Beverly possesses a comprehensive understanding of the needs of buyers and sellers, particularly in the equestrian and rural property markets.
