JoAnne Wannarachue Lord and her family have been in the residential and commercial real estate business for over 30 years.  As a young adult JoAnne learned the value of real estate with her family investments in properties in Seattle, Atlantic City, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and internationally in Thailand and the Philippines.  Her passion for real estate began while living in San Francisco where she became a first time home buyer herself and then property manager in 1997.

JoAnne grew up travelling the US and abroad.  Her multicultural family exposed her to education and culture where she grew in her appreciation for architecture, fashion, and lifestyle.  After studying abroad in Switzerland, she graduated from the Lakeside School then matriculated at the University of Washington graduating with a Bachelor of Arts and double major in Communication and Sociology. Immediately upon graduating, she relocated to Northern California and started her career in the Fashion Industry in San Francisco.  JoAnne has enjoyed a successful bi-coastal executive career the past 20 years where she has held executive roles at publicly traded specialty retailers’ New York & Company and bebe® Stores.  Prior to that, she held management roles at retailers Kohl’s®, GUESS®, Urban Outfitters and Wet Seal®.  Simultaneously, she was a property manager, landlord, home owner & seller.  Her corporate experience, real estate knowledge as well as her love and passion for architecture and fashion have allowed her to successfully transition into a career in real estate where she can integrate all of her talents for her clients.

A California resident for the past 22 years, JoAnne lives in Los Angeles in the hills of Sherman Oaks with her husband, two daughters and French Bulldog.  They love to travel the US and abroad providing the cultural exposure and experiences she enjoyed as a child.  She is an active member in the community and has chaired and served on both of her daughter’s school’s fundraising committees.  JoAnne understands the importance of finding the property that suits ones needs whether you are an individual, couple or family looking for an ideal home or investment property.
