Teresa Dietrich is a California real estate broker, author, community leader, and lifelong believer in the power of resilience, service, and finding your own path forward. Raised on a flower farm and ranch in the foothills above Watsonville, Teresa learned early that life rarely follows a perfectly planned course—and that sometimes the unexpected chapters become the most meaningful.

With nearly three decades in real estate, Teresa has built a career advocating for homeownership, rural communities, and private property rights while serving in leadership roles at the local, state, and national levels. She currently chairs the California Association of REALTORS® Housing Affordability Fund and serves as a National Association of REALTORS® Director and President of the Penn Valley Community Foundation.

Teresa is a contributing author to The Cinderella Monologues and believes every woman has a story worth telling.
