Harcourts Crown Jewel, the first Los Angeles County franchise office for the Harcourts International Real Estate Group, held its grand opening celebration on Nov. 4. Business owner and broker Dawna Thibodeau, a long-time resident and Realtor in the Crescenta Valley, opened the doors to a brand new space in the La Cañada Flintridge Town Center in August.

The well-attended event celebrated the launch of Harcourts Crown Jewel and the presence of Harcourts in the Los Angeles area. Rob Forde, managing director of Harcourts Pacific, welcomed Harcourts Crown Jewel into the organization and congratulated Thibodeau on the completion of the office.

“Dawna has done a magnificent job of creating a professional space that will serve her agents, their clients and this community. We are excited to have her on our team and look forward to the growth of Harcourts Crown Jewel that we know will be a result of her leadership,” Forde said.

Also in attendance were Mike Green, managing director of Harcourts International and Irene Green, director of The Academy for Harcourts International.
