Grace Parris, Owner & Realtor®
Since I can remember, the most impactful people live distinctively, designing their lives uniquely. Moreover, That’s what we love about our clients, past, present, and future.

We make sure your home (or investment) is a reflection of who you are and what you care about most.
The Real Estate Business combines my love for business, creativity, design, and people creating unstoppable success.
After ten years in the Entertainment Industry as a Creative Director, I found myself exploring Real Estate. Little did I know at the time, I had found my passion in life.
My first year in real estate was award-winning. I joined the Agent Leadership Council and became an instructor at Keller Williams, teaching associates of all levels.
This success opened many doors. From 2007-2014, I was CEO of Keller Williams Realty in Rancho Palos Verdes, and from 2013-2017, I was the Owner/Operating Partner of Keller Williams Coastal Properties in Long Beach. In 2017, I launched GPS, a Real Estate Coaching & Consulting company.
I continue to coach and consult other business owners, but my top priority is our LIVE DISTINCTIVELY CLIENTS!
Outside of real estate, I’m all about creating freedom and choices for myself and others. This includes enjoying cool experiences with my 7 nieces and 2 nephews, writing music and performing with my band, mentoring troubled teens, ensuring my parents enjoy their retirement, and over-all living a life of adventure and growth. I tithe regularly to those in immediate need and to causes like Ocean Defenders Alliance, KW Cares, Animals Rule, St. Jude, and the Surf Rider Foundation.
Meet the Team
Jennifer Boyd Bustamante, Broker & Team Leader
My previous career as a Waitress and Medical Assistant fueled my passion for helping people, so when I began my Real Estate Career, helping my clients find their dream homes or sell their existing house to upgrade to even bigger dreams, naturally became my biggest goal.
Over the past years, I have been able to reach multi-million-dollar producer status by assisting my clients reliably and efficiently in all real estate transactions- whether a client is buying or selling.
During this time, I’ve had the pleasure of selling homes all over southern California. This gives the advantage of knowing the market, which allows me to find the right home for you or guide your sale in the right direction.
Most recently I have had the pleasure of becoming Live Distinctively’s Team Leader, where I help to guide and support other team members. Each year I plan to increase our market share and transactions by providing amazing service to all of you.
In my free time, you will find me watching my dad sing in his blues band, watching the sunset over the city in my gorgeous Signal Hill home, and saving stray kittens to find them loving forever homes- all the while working tirelessly to best serve my clientele.
Robin Auwerda “The Dutchman”
Realtor® & Project Acquisitions Manager
Robin understands the highs and lows of the real estate market. Despite the media’s frequent evaluations of the industry, including “it’s a buyer’s market,” or “it’s a seller’s market,” Robin believes each buyer and seller create his or her own market.
Communication is critically important in real estate. Making sure his clients know every step of the way, what is going on, what decisions need to be made, and how to move forward to get the transaction closed is one of Robin’s pet peeves.
One of his first experiences in real estate was when he bought his first home. Not long after Robin and his wife were able to purchase their next property which was a duplex.
“Real estate investing has always been part of our wealth building strategy.” Robin says.
He made the transaction appear so seamless that his friends and relatives began to approach him for help with their own real estate transactions. Within a short time, Robin’s real estate career was born.
A licensed Realtor® in the state of California, Robin frequently attends industry seminars and mentors and teaches classes to newer real estate agents at his Long Beach office.
Since venturing into the California real estate industry in 2005, Robin Auwerda, is affiliated with Keller Williams Realty in Long Beach, California.
Robin speaks Dutch fluently! Over the years he has helped several Dutch clients in Southern California with their real estate needs. Most recently helping someone sell their home in preparation to return to The Netherlands.
In his spare time, Robin enjoys early morning walks, frequent hikes, reading a good thriller, working in the garden, and hanging out with friends.
Nikki Roberts, Realtor®, EA
I joined the team in 2018, completely by chance. I met Grace while I was babysitting her nieces as a last-minute favor for a friend-of-a-friend. After just a few minutes of talking it came to light that I had a background in marketing and the rest fell into place, as if it were meant to be!
Since then, my role has evolved and adapted, and I got my real estate license so I could follow in their footsteps. This team works around the clock to provide above-and-beyond service to their clients. We never stop thinking of ways to do more, not only for our clients but also for our communities.
As a kid, I loved going to open houses with my mom. We would talk about the different kitchen styles, find all the best hiding places and, of course, pick which room would be mine! As a young adult, I spent days
looking at houses and apartments online, anticipating what my first home would look like and how I would furnish it. Needless to say, I thoroughly enjoy spending my days hunting for waterfront beach bungalows and creating blog posts and content about dream homes.
Outside of work, I love cooking, spending time by the ocean and traveling anywhere I get the chance to. I like to spend my days exploring the great outdoors with my boyfriend and my dog; camping, hiking, dirt-biking or all of the above. Honestly, I equally enjoy spending days binge watching Netflix with the same crew. Life is all about balance, right?
Live Distinctively is Built on Referrals, by Exceeding Expectations
and Professionalism. Confidentiality is a Priority.
