I was born in Santa Fe, New Mexico and grew up in Scottsdale, Arizona — a true desert girl. After graduating from the University of Colorado, Boulder, with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Journalism, I moved to Marin County in 1978.
I now live in Stinson Beach and enjoy the sights of the county's hills and beaches. One of my favorite activities is when we take our beagle, Ella Mae, for a walk on the beach.
Community service has been a cornerstone of my life in Marin. I have served on the boards of the Junior League of San Francisco and Marin Advocates for Children, and I have a long history of fundraising in the county. I am an active member of both the Children's Theater Association of San Francisco and Achievement Awards for College Students. I currently serve as the President of the Marin Chapter of the Women's Council of Realtors.
I have both remodeled and built my own home which allows me to understand design elements of a home along with demands of design review, permits and finding the best professionals to assist in the building process.
How I Work I have a tireless, patient, and no-pressure approach. I am attentive and responsive. I make things happen based on my clients' needs and time frame. As team leader I use my resources to coordinate the home buying or selling process with other principals, agents, inspectors, escrow officer and lender. I communicate openly at all times with you and use humor to help minimize the stress of buying or selling a home.
My Professional Philosophy I am a long time real estate professional with the goal of serving my clients' needs honestly, ethically, and efficiently. I believe in accountability and quality service in a professional and friendly manner. I believe good communication is key to making each real estate transaction a positive experience. My greatest reward is knowing that my clients are happy at the end of our transaction.
Professional affiliations include Director Marin Association of Realtors 2011-2013, California and National Association of Realtors, Marin Platinum Group, Top Agent Network, Women's Council of Realtors, Council of Residential Specialists and the Right Move Group relocation company. Additionally, I am a certified Weichert relocation agent and a certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist®.
