I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, graduated from Los Altos High and San Jose State. I’ve been happily married for many years, and raised a son and a daughter, one of my better achievements.
My neighbor was a realtor, and when I was in seventh grade my mother told me I would be a good real estate agent. That planted the seed.
When purchasing my first home, I realized I had the skills to be a great real estate broker. Just by caring, being personable and customer-service oriented, and a self starter, I knew I could be a success. I studied for and passed the real estate exam and jumped in.
Early on, I introduced the photo of me in the shopping cart in all of my advertising along with the slogan “shopping for an agent?” I became known in the community that way, and recently was featured on the Ellen show as an example of creative humorous advertising. I still use that image today because I take myself lightly, and if prospective clients can see the humor in it I know we’re going to get along great!
My hobbies include photography, swimming, boating and just being by the water. I love movies, music and concerts, cooking, people, animals of all kinds and shopping. The shopping part works to my clients advantage because I tend to be relentless in finding that perfect home, perfect buyer for my listings or tenant for a rental . I’d love to meet you and help you with your next real estate transaction.
