Profile

As a Marin native and 30 years living in San Francisco, I have the unique perspective of life in both counties. Each county is magical on its own but together, provide a symbiotic relationship that is unparalleled which is why I work in Marin and San Francisco. I bring 25 years of relevant experience to my Real Estate career including contract and pricing negotiations, property management, construction management, customer service, sales+marketing, facilities and operations management.

I strive for the highest level of client care and guidance, always putting my client’s needs first. My mission statement is to end each transaction with a hug and client for life!

My passions outside of Real Estate are cooking and entertaining, Bikram Yoga, enjoying delicious red wines, traveling and spending as much time with friends and family as possible.

Professional Background

I offer my clients 25 years of relevant experience, including 10 years in property management, contract and pricing negotiations, construction and office management just to name a few. I practice a referral-based business rooted in quality over quantity and strive for the highest level of client care and guidance. My goal is to build relationships with my clients that last way past the close of escrow. I believe in and practice stellar client care and straightforward communication in all my relationships and have the time and enthusiasm to spoil my clients during their home buying or selling process.

I extended my Real Estate education with an Ecobroker designation as well as the NAR Green designation through Build it Green, so I can offer the added value of guiding my clients toward energy saving features and options to increase the comfort, efficiency and indoor air quality of their homes.

Real Estate is not about buying and selling; it’s about relationships, guidance, and education. I use my past experiences and my real estate education to lead my clients toward making solid real estate decisions while creating a positive and informed journey towards buying or selling a home. The transfer of Real Estate is more than the structure and land, it’s about home, community, comfort and happiness. What will truly make you happy in your home? My mission is to figure that out and help you find it.

I look forward to working with you in the future to either buy or sell a home, provide a Competitive Market Analysis on your existing home, or to just keep you abreast of the current climate in the housing market. It’s an exciting time in Real Estate! Call me if you want to figure out if the time is right for you.

My Unique Specialties

My intimate knowledge of both Marin and San Francisco Counties as well as a solid understanding of the other surrounding Bay Area counties gives me a well-rounded depth of knowledge about what each area and city has to offer. My whole life has been spent in both of these vastly different but symbiotic counties. I was born and raised in San Rafael, California and both of my parents were born and raised in San Francisco. In High School I worked in San Francisco and 2 years out of college in 1987 I moved to San Francisco and stayed for 30 years. To me the two counties support and enhance each other. I don’t think I would want one without the other. The reality is, there is only a 1.7-mile bridge that separate the two counties and working in both keeps me connected to the variety of lifestyle offerings of both.

Living in Marin and working in both gives me a unique perspective for potential buyers thinking of making the move from SF to Marin, relocating from a different state or country and empty nesters considering that pied de Terre they have always dreamed of owning in San Francisco.

I love working with people relocating from across the country or across the bay. It gives me an opportunity to share my passion for both counties and all they have to offer.

I am also a certified Ecobroker and hold a Green designation from Build it Green and continue to educate myself on the greening of real estate, construction and lifestyle choices. As an Ecobroker I educate my clients on making healthier, sustainable and energy saving choices when buying or selling a home. Virtually every residential real estate transaction involves some form of home improvement. Why not choose No-VOC paint or energy efficient appliances? Why not low flow toilets or double paned windows? There are several small changes we can all make to conserve our resources and create healthier environments inside our homes!

In addition to the Green designations, I also hold designations in SRES (senior real estate specialist) and RSPS (resort and Second home property specialist to help clients with their unique needs.
