Buying and selling a home is more than just a business transaction. It is a life changing experience that brings with it complexity and emotions. I pride myself on my ability to partner with clients as they navigate through this journey, helping them understand the home buying/selling process from start to finish, and envisioning with them how a house can become a home. Having lived all over the United States with my husband and two daughters, I have first-hand experience on the impact buying and selling a home and moving can have on those involved. I offer true empathy for the adjustments required to make such an involved change.

My professional career, both as an entrepreneur and in real estate, has been rooted in a strong work ethic, empathy and honesty, which have served to create a business primarily based on referrals and word-of-mouth. Real estate allows me to directly interact with clients, showcase my care and concern for their well-being and gain a clear understanding of their motivations and goals. Knowing that each client has their own specific needs and approaching them with sensitivity and flexibility, is where my keen customer service abilities really shine.

As someone with extensive first-hand knowledge of moving, I truly understand what is required to make a house a home and a neighborhood a community - it's the neighbors, schools, culture and nearby activities that contribute to a fulfilling life both inside and outside the four walls of the home.

With a background in design and art, I am a true enthusiast of the eclectic and historic homes in the South Bay. Silicon Valley is an expansive area to navigate. One of my many talents as a realtor is to help each client find the right area for them to focus on and to find the happiness my clients deserve in a new home and community.

And, my commitment to my clients does not end once the home buying/selling transaction is completed. I act as an ongoing resource providing referrals to service providers long after they've moved into their new home. I also feel lucky to create and maintain friendships with my clients that extend beyond the transaction.

I am proud to be affiliated with Christie's International Real Estate Sereno as the company supports me with strong management, a highly skilled marketing team, and extensive corporate resources. This strong team creates the foundation from which I can fully provide the thorough and dedicated service I offer each and every client. In addition, I am proud to be a part of a company dedicated to giving back to the communities it serves through its 1% For Good Foundation.
