BAY STREET CAPITAL HOLDINGS

Ila’s introduction to the real estate world began after her family experienced foreclosure, born out of necessity to secure housing and develop career capital that would propel her into the opportunities systematically unavailable to her community.

At the start of her career, Ila began as a property manager among a team of 4 others managing more than 300 units across southern California. Simultaneously she obtained her Real Estate License, a Bachelor's degree in Sociology from California State University Long Beach, and a minor in both Business and Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies.

Ila found her passion within the residential industry, and the potential to help others create security through housing and homeownership. For 2 years, Ila worked closely with homeowners and real estate professionals helping them maximize their investments and avoid the threats of discount buyers and/or foreclosure. In 2021 alone, she led a team to close more than $80m in transaction volume across numerous states, with a laser focus on value-add services for the American homeowner.

Ila’s free-time includes serving apartment communities across Los Angeles, and in the non-profit housing space dedicated to solving housing insecurity.
