2023 AMBASSADOR OF THE YEAR

Stacey Dunn, Chick-fil-A Temecula

Vice President of Marketing & Sales in Brand Growth Development for Chick-fil-A Temecula

"Thank you for choosing me as Your Ambassador of the Year, I am so grateful and blessed. This Milestone means more to me than anyone knows. I came out to Chick-fil-A Temecula almost three years ago and had a goal, to have the Temecula Valley think of Chick-fil-A Temecula when they hear our Operator Jim Toth’s name or mine. I wanted to make an impact in our City, our Chamber, and our businesses.  This award brought me closer to each one of our Ambassadors, Chamber Staff, City of Temecula Officiants, and Business Owners all over the Temecula Valley. This award confirms I am right where I should be and Temecula is my home!"

Michael Bullock

Michael Bullock Real Estate

It is my job to either find that perfect home for you and your family, or to help you sell your current home quickly, smoothly and at market value or above. To accomplish those goals I need to first understand your dreams and goals. Next I need to develop the right marketing plan if you are selling your home, or define the perfect home if you seek your dream home.

For Sellers, I will design the perfect marketing strategy to meet your financial and schedule goals. I will then implement the plan for the successful completion of the sale of your home. Once the home is in contract, I and my extended support associates will work hard to keep the escrow on track and running smoothly.  After Escrow closes I will be there for any further questions or assistance you may have.
 
For Buyers, we will meet and discuss your vision of the perfect dream home for you that meets your budget. Once we know what you are looking for we then discuss the ‘where’ aspect of the search. Once we are all in agreement on Features, Price and Location, the hunt begins! I will be there to guide you through the possibilities until we find the perfect home. Once in escrow, I will fight for you to make sure the escrow goes smoothly and cost effectively as practical until the day I hand you the keys to your new dream home.
