Get to Know Gillian
As a leading real estate expert and the host of the two-time Emmy-nominated TV series The American Dream in San Diego, I bring a unique blend of market knowledge, design expertise, and storytelling to everything I do. With 25 years in the industry, I deliver a concierge-level real estate experience that goes beyond the transaction—offering strategic guidance, skilled negotiation, and a keen eye for aesthetics to help my clients maximize their investments. Whether buying, selling, or investing, my commitment to professionalism, personalized service, and attention to detail ensures a seamless and rewarding experience.
My passion for real estate began when I immigrated to San Diego from South Africa in 1999, and since launching my career in 2003, I’ve built a reputation for putting my clients first. I pride myself on making the process stress-free, instilling confidence, and delivering an over-the-top experience that exceeds expectations.
Beyond real estate, I love showcasing the best of San Diego through The American Dream. As the host, I highlight the city’s most gorgeous real estate and most influential voices—entrepreneurs, philanthropists, and innovators—sharing their stories and celebrating what makes our community so special.
When I’m not working, I’m a devoted mother to two beautiful daughters and an adorable dog. I enjoy traveling, staying active, and embracing the vibrant coastal lifestyle that I’m grateful to call home.
There are 20,000 realtors in San Diego. The executive show producer for a new national show about real estate and lifestyles visited back in January. He met with only the top producers of this market, and I was honored to be invited. U
ltimately, they chose a cast of 5 realtors to be the voice of San Diego neighborhoods and the real estate market. Guess what, I am one of them! This is a real show, not some fake reality show, and it focuses on positivity and the stories of our neighborhoods. Get this, the show in other markets has already been nominated for an EMMY. Crazy to call myself the host of an Emmy-nominated TV show. One that has featured some of the biggest names in real estate!
The show will be airing on cable, Amazon Fire, Apple TV, and Roku... and a lot will happen on social media, so follow along there!
