I started my career in real estate sales in 1998 in Marin County, at the largest brokerage in the county, Frank Howard Allen. I worked with an amazing mentor who was the first agent to stage a home here in Marin. We would take pictures with a camera, have the film developed at Longs Drugs and then glue-stick the pictures onto a flier that we created in a Word document! We’d make 20 of them for each listing. Times sure have changed!
I became managing broker at Corcoran Global Living in Greenbrae and worked in that capacity for 5 years, building the brokerage’s brand during its hyper growth phase and building an incredible team of agents.
After stepping down, I remain a Real Estate advisor to buyers and sellers throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.
My clients appreciate my candor about the market and the real estate marketing process as well as my deep knowledge of local laws and customs, my network of agents and service providers, and the love I have for this business. They rely on my judgment and experience on a daily basis, and they refer me to their friends and family because I’ve helped them make good decisions.
What services does your team offer?
For buyers, we make sure to line the client up with the right lender/loan product. We guide them through the pre-approval process, aiming to get them underwritten before they start looking for homes to buy. We review inspection reports with them and take them through each paragraph in the contract so that they are an educated buyer. Agents in our community know that our buyers are committed to the process and understand what it takes to close a transaction, which sets our buyers apart from others who might be writing offers.
For sellers, we offer a suite of services. We strongly encourage prepping homes for sale, and we are able to project manage this for the seller. Corcoran Global Living also offers a concierge service which pays for the work to be done so the sellers don’t have to pay until close of escrow.
Who is your favorite type of client?
Motivated clients. I want my buyers and sellers to be “all in” when it comes to their next move.
Coffee or Tea?
Coffee. All day long. Literally.
What do you do when you’re not selling real estate?
I just spent a year and a half completely gutting a rental property of ours and remodeling it. I love cooking and spending time with my husband and our dog, Jamba. Our three kids are scattered across the country, and so I love any opportunity to spend time with them.
If you’d like to work together, don’t hesitate to get in touch!
