DRE#: 01325942

As a Marin native, I have a rare combination of skills, knowledge,

and insights that lead to highly successful transactions and satisfied

clients in this special part of the Bay Area. I view my relationships as a

partnership . . . providing counseling and serving as my clients’ advocate

as we work together to find just the right property or buyer. I’m

sensitive to the fact that my clients are buying or selling a home,

and I go the extra mile to insure that they find exactly what they

are looking for.

Although many people have moved to Marin in the past few decades,

those who have lived here their whole life are relatively hard to find.

Living here has given me an in-depth understanding of the unique

local culture and personality of many of Marin’s favorite communities,

such as Mill Valley, San Rafael, and Corte Madera. I know the hidden

neighborhoods prized by locals and can find one that matches up

perfectly with anyone’s needs. As a specialist in residential and

investment properties throughout Marin County, I provide a distinct

advantage in my ability to quickly locate the most appealing properties

or buyers.

As a full-time Realtor/Broker for more than ten years, I’m privileged to

work with Decker Bullock Sotheby’s International Realty. Being a Top

Producer at McGuire Real Estate and owning my own brokerage has

prepared me for the ever changing real estate market. I believe that

today’s rapidly changing market requires a full-time professional Realtor,

and I have the freedom to work one-on-one with my clients, actively

listening to their needs, researching the market and working tirelessly

to help them achieve their real estate goals. Our relationship is built

on honest and open communication.

As someone who has played and coached soccer since the age of 9,

I’ve learned the value of becoming the best you can be and helping the

players I coach maximize their potential. I bring the same commitment


and dedication to my profession, and look forward to the opportunity

not only of working with you as your real estate consultant, but in

earning a long and lasting relationship with you.

Background

Prior to joining Decker Bullock Sotheby’s International Realty, I was

a broker associate with McGuire Real Estate, Vision Real Estate and

my own company Platinum Real Estate. I spent more than 20 years in

management and operations with Blank Noir women’s clothing and

Silbermann’s Ice Cream, where I developed valuable experience

in time management, negotiations, finance, strategy and customer

relations...skills which have helped me successfully serve my clients in

real estate. I am a graduate of San Francisco State University with a

BS in Business Administration, Finance, as well as College of Marin

and Terra Linda High School in San Rafael.
