I , Amy Charlebois, believe that your home is your sanctuary and should be treated as such. I have lived in Ramona for over 35 years. Whether you’re selling your home, buying your first home or seeking that dream retirement residence, the experience should be nothing less than seamless. As a family person and homeowner myself, I understand that your home is more than just a place to live — it’s where you make long-lasting memories. With 20+ years in Customer Service, Real Estate, and Finances I am able to help my clients navigate the often challenging waters of the home buying and selling process with the end result of a wonderful experience.

When I’m not busy helping clients, I enjoy nothing more than spending time with my husband Eric, our 6 kids, grandbabies and our dog " Karl the French Bulldog" traveling and boating.

For her, the essence of real estate isn't just about transactions; it's about aspirations, hopes, and dreams.


Ramona has a special place in Meghan's heart. It's not just a place she chose to call home since 2009, it's where she's deeply rooted as her husband grew up in beautiful Ramona.
