Born and raised in Southern California, Cree started her career in public service and housing during her undergraduate studies. She lived/worked in Xicotencatl, Mexico with local families learning about their culture and building temporary housing. After returning she volunteered on a South Central housing coalition and in local homeless shelter.

While continuing her volunteering she worked with high-risk youth in Hollywood helping them come up with life solutions as well providing shelter at our center.

She was granted a scholarship from NYU in the Wagner School of Public Service, where she received my Master's in Urban Planning and concurrently a Master's in Real Estate.

She assisted high-end business and entertainment industry clients in their purchases/negotiations of real estate. After their offices in the WTC were shut down, she shifted gears and with her business partner created Barqua Real Estate & Design, combining their extensive knowledge of real estate investment, design, new construction and renovation.

Today, Cree and the staff of Barqua dedicate themselves to real estate education as much as they do to helping you find the right home or investment for your family.
