Charmane Crain, Realtor: Charmane moved to San Diego in 1995 as Leasing Manager for the elegant high-rise CityFront Terrace in the Marina District and continued the occupancy at full capacity until early 2000 when the building was sold and converted to for sale condominiums. She then joined the award winning sales team at The Olson Company and was an integral part in the hugely successful pre-sale efforts of Village Walk in Little Italy and City Walk in the Marina District. Charmane's enthusiasm for the growth of the downtown real estate market and passion for the people living there has fueled her desire to enter the residential re-sale housing market in 2003 and enjoyed major success in her first year selling as a broker-associate. Now, heading up development on a five story, high-end condominium project on Balboa Park, slated for move in summer of 2005, she is very excited about mixing future development work with her re-sale efforts.
