Mary Watkins - Borrego Valley Realty

Mary Watkins Realtor/ Broker/Eco Broker. I am a native San Diegan who grew up in the Alpine area. I have a degree in Computer Science, Systems Design and Programming from Grossmont College. I left San Diego in the early 80²s and went first to the Mojave desert where I worked as a computer programmer before taking a job in Burbank at the Walt Disney Company. I worked for several different large corporations in the Los Angeles area, including Disney, Aramark, Health Net, Maxicare, PacifiCare and Blue Cross (Wellpoint). In 1994 I took a ride in a helicopter on the Big Island of Hawaii and caught the flying bug. I started taking flying lessons by the end of that year and got my Rotorcraft Private Pilot License in 1996. In 1998 I got my Rotorcraft Commercial Pilot License. I flew off and on in the Mountain Dew Jet Ranger with Commander Chuck Street for KIIS FM doing the radio traffic reporting in the Orange County and Los Angeles County areas. I hope to someday own my own helicopter. After earning my first pilot license, I learned to scuba dive and have been diving at several great locations in and out of this country. I moved back to San Diego in 2004 and got my real estate salesperson license. In 2006 I got my real estate brokers license and opened this office. I got my Eco-Broker certification in 2007. My son recently moved back to the United States from living in Brisbane, Australia for four years and my daughter lives in San Diego with her family. I love living in the Anza Borrego Desert Area.
