Mary Beth grew up in the Minnesota where she developed a valuable foundation in family life, academics, and work ethic. She secured two degrees from the College of St. Catherine in St. Paul, with dual majors in Marketing and Spanish. She went on to complete her Master’s Degree in International Management (MIM) from the American Graduate School of International Management (now known as Thunderbird School of Global Management, acquired in recent years by Arizona State University). She is fluent in spoken and written Spanish. Married life and career took her to Guadalajara, Mexico where she assisted international companies expanding their businesses into the U.S. A relocation to the U.S. led her to a career in international trade that brought Mary Beth and her family to Phoenix, Long Beach and finally San Diego. Her career in industry expanded from helping companies in setting up cross-border operations, with specialties in business development and in the transportation and trade compliance required to support those operations, into a career with a global corporation that relied on her logistics expertise in a reorganization of North American manufacturing and import operations, given the implementation of outsourcing of production to the Far East. 

​Mary Beth pivoted her career into real estate, joining her husband Raul in 2006, and they joined Coldwell Banker West in 2016. Changing market circumstances took them through many real estate scenarios that offered much growth and depth of experience, and both have come to be regarded among clients and peers as reputable and professional real estate consultants. Motivated to combine her former experience in industry and her commitment to top-notch real estate guidance, Mary Beth began pursuits to expand her career into Commercial Real Estate in early 2022, and she was fortunate to join The Kane Real Estate Group, a well-established commercial team instrumental in the creation of Coldwell Banker Commercial West. With a penchant for detail, communication and thorough analyses, Mary Beth specializes in assisting clients in capitalizing on their investments in vacant land, multi-family properties, office space and business opportunities while pursuing continuing coursework to maximize the value she brings to the clients she serves. The abundant resources and tools provided through Coldwell Banker’s global corporate presence in addition to local market knowledge and industry contacts furnish the tools that equip Mary Beth to continue providing the best service commercial real estate professionals can offer- and guiding clients toward optimal results with their commercial real estate sales, purchases and leases.
