Christine Burroughs Agent

Christine is an experienced Residential Realtor having served Silicon Valley for the past 40 years with a concentration as a Buyer's Specialist - but in addition to her Real Estate expertise, she has developed and led large non-profit groups focusing on underserved populations in this local community.
Her vast network of contacts includes Corporations, Foundations, Civic Groups, Arts Groups, Faith Groups, Educational and Governmental/Political Entities. Her ability to grow partnerships and raise millions of dollars has resulted in a major influx of housing and services in this valley, and her reputation for working "above and beyond" for all clients with whom she is involved, has led her to NextHome Lifestyles in Willow Glen where she now hangs her license. She embraces their corporation philosophy that focuses on customer service rather than volume of sales. #HumansOverHouses

Wajiha Tareen Agent, Realtor

"Try not to become a person of success, but rather a person of value." Albert Einstein.

I try to live by that everyday- what value am I providing my family, my friends and my clients? How can I make their day better, what can I do to provide service?

As a mother of three and a fitness enthusiast, I wake up with an energy to conquer everyday and be the best version of myself. Fulfillment for me lies in helping others achieve their goals and that is in its own is a process of self learning and development.

I grew up the first 14 years of my life in Southern California in Bermuda Dunes, a small city in Palm Springs. My father is a gynecologist who practiced at JFK Memorial Hospital in Indio, California. My parents decided to move back to Pakistan where our roots are to help the less fortunate and try and improve medical care in a third world country. My parents have always instilled in me to always give back to our community and to those around us.

I'm a natural people person. I love talking and learning about whomever I meet. Each person I come across in life has had some sort of impact on me. I learn everyday and try to bring as much value to those around me.

Diana Thai Agent

From a young age, I’ve always been passionate about home design and exploring beautiful properties. With a keen eye for detail and a solid background in customer service and project management, I discovered that real estate is the perfect avenue to blend these interests. My experience in project management has equipped me with a proven track record of handling complex processes with precision, efficiency, and a steadfast commitment to meeting deadlines. Combined with my degree in economics, I have a deep understanding of market dynamics and financial principles, enabling me to offer valuable insights into pricing, property investments, and market trends. This ensures my clients have all the information to be well-equipped to make informed decisions.

Pavleen Kaur Agent

My real estate journey began with my love for exploring beautiful houses. What now fuels my dedication further is the desire to guide people through the intricate process of buying their dream home or selling their beloved abode for a new opportunity. If there are two things that I pride myself on, they are my knack for identifying great deals by analyzing numbers and my unwavering commitment to thoroughness. Consider me your patient guiding hand, unraveling the complexities of the real estate journey while making the experience enjoyable as we work together towards your dream.

Beyond property transactions, I'm a health enthusiast, engaging in workouts, particularly my beloved calorie-burning activities: swimming, jumping rope, and Bharatnatyam - an Indian Classical Dance. I have been learning Bharatnatyam since I was a child, and it has taught me invaluable life skills such as discipline, strength, persistence, stability, and balance. These skills have seamlessly translated into my professional life, enabling me to approach real estate with dedication and precision.

As we journey together through the twists and turns of real estate, let's also share the delights of California living. If you're ready to explore your real estate dreams with a knowledgeable, enthusiastic guide who brings a touch of personal flair to the journey, I'm here for you. Let's connect, explore, and realize your real estate dreams!

Why NextHome Lifestyles?

As a NextHome office, we share a common culture that is focused on improving the lives of our clients through the sale of residential real estate, because we know how important homeownership is for building wealth, independence, and security. And, since real estate transactions typically only occur several times within our client’s lifetimes we are aware of our responsibility to be that much more sensitive to their needs during the process, always looking for innovative ways to improve the efficiency of the transaction because we realize that our clients value both certainty and convenience when buying or selling real estate. We further stand out from our competition since we seek to be considered as an invaluable resource to our clients not only during the transaction but long after the sale closes. We take the responsibility of ensuring the comfort and convenience of our clients very seriously as we are committed to providing support to our clients throughout the cycle of homeownership. We choose to focus on the people we serve, not just the houses we sell.


“When we launched NextHome Lifestyles, we wanted to offer an office culture passionate about raising the bar of customer service beyond mediocrity, never willing to settle for what’s always been done, but rather, focused on finding new ways to exceed our clients expectations.”
