Jen Pastor

Femmenomics Founder and Unconventional Short Term Rental Specialist


Hey Fem-Fam, 
I'm Jen, the founder of Femmenomics, and this is my boy Piggy Smalls. I live surrounded by redwoods in the majestic Pacific Northwest, with my daughter DJ. I absolutely love real estate and thrive at creating unusual income streams in the short term rental space. I currently have a thriving glamping cabin in the Carrizo Plains in California, and am renovating a house at the beach, in addition to my own home, a 5 acre hobby farm. 
 
I have taught women how to create income streams from property they already own, and how to purchase land for cheaper than they thought possible. I believe that every women deserves the resources she needs to make magic happen and I would love to help you on your way to financial freedom. There IS path forward in real estate for every woman, if they have the desire, and I am making it my personal mission to help you get there!

 Sarah Pichulo

Serving Humboldt and Trinity Counties, CA


Sarah is from Humboldt County and has been an agent here for over 4 years. She is familiar with the area and understands its true value. What she enjoys most about real estate is connecting people and providing resources to her clients to make the process as seamless as possible for them. Her love for real estate started at a young age as she watched her dad work construction and fix up their homes. She has many memories of listening to her dad’s stories and advice around house-building, as well as driving around with her family, checking out houses, and scoping out what was on the market.  She specializes in selling residential real estate and vacant land. Outside of real estate she is an avid baker and cherishes the moments when she bakes with her Mom at Humboldt Sweets. You may even find her there some weekends or making beautiful treats for Weddings and events.

Today she lives in Ferndale with her husband and 3 children. They value family and community and are so grateful to be able to raise their children and work in such a special place.


 

Chelsea Harbour

Leveraging over 15 years in customer service and sales, I’m here to make each transaction smooth, informed, and successful.

Mel Chappell

Serving Marin and Sonoma Counties, CA


 

Greetings!  I'm Mel!

Since 2016, I have been serving California.

I made the decision to get my Real Estate License after years of doing personal transactions in Residential and Land Investments.  Frustrated with complacency in the industry, I made the decision to create my own legacy by focusing on integrity and loyalty. This decision continued my family tradition, making me a 5th generation Land and Residential agent. 

​

Real Estate can be confusing and overwhelming at times.  I take on the problem-solving with a solid core of a pure customer service-based institution.  My goal is paralleled focus on the Buyers' and Sellers' needs.  

​

Smooth Transactions are in the approach of the coordination.  Active communication with a creative and resourceful rationality is my forte' and I enjoy extending this to all clients, regardless of their price-point.  

​

I work in a "Boutique Agency" which means I'm not just a number to my Broker and that extends to You as well!  You're not just a number with myself or ALTA Realty; we consider you family and will do everything in our power to make you more than happy with your experience working with us.  ​​​


 

 Loyda "Junnie" Gutierez

Serving the Bay Area and Central Valley, CA


 Hey there! I’m Loyda, but my friends call me Junnie—and I’m your go-to gal for all things real estate in the Bay Area and Central Valley! Since 2015, I’ve been handing over keys to new homeowners and loving every minute of it. Honestly, there’s nothing better than seeing the look on someone’s face when they realize they’ve made the impossible *possible*. Tears of joy? Happy dances? You name it, I’ve seen it!
 
Real estate definitely has its challenges (hello, unpredictable market!), but I love staying on my toes and finding creative ways to get my clients across the finish line. Whether you’re buying your first home, an investment property, or building long-term wealth, I’m here to make the journey as smooth as possible.
 
When I’m not showing homes, you’ll find me on an adventure—traveling, hiking, or trying some wild new dish (but definitely *not* onions!). My family is my world, and above all, God guides every step of my journey. I’m passionate about helping other women take charge and build their future through real estate. Let’s make it happen!

 

 Odessa Christiana

Luxury Short Term Rental Specialist


 Hi, I’m Odessa Christiana!
 
I’m delighted to bring my short term rental expertise to this forum.
 
In 2015, I replaced the income of a full time job with the rental income of my guest suite.
 
As interest in my unique property spread, it attracted a variety of money making opportunities. It became an internationally renowned location, hosting brand shoots for high profile clients.
 
My personal success story inspired me to write my book, “No Vacancy: A Zero BS Guide To Killing It In The Vacation Rental Biz”.
 
Turns out, I absolutely love guiding others to monetize their properties too!
 
I believe the greatest keys to success in this industry are mindset and creativity.
 
I’m looking forward to joining you in conversation around these topics and more.
