With over 18 years as a licensed full-time REALTOR®, I bring extensive expertise and practical insights into the East Bay real estate market.

Clients and peers consistently commend me as an agent beyond the ordinary — characterized by compassion, trustworthiness, and efficiency. I provide education, tenacity, clarity, and humor to help my clients navigate the complexities of real estate. My primary objective is to streamline the real estate experience for you.

Through friendly and approachable communication, I ensure a clear understanding of essential information, making you well-informed about options and facilitating optimal outcomes. Recognized by fellow agents for preparing my clients effectively, I aim for win-win scenarios. Diligent and diplomatic negotiation, coupled with strategic thinking, allows me to anticipate and mitigate potential issues. I view real estate as a collaborative effort (this is a team sport!) and have cultivated strong relationships with my colleagues as well as with the lenders, title companies, designers, local tradesmen, stagers, and other specialists we need. This network ensures access to excellent resources for you, now and in the future.

My unique background adds value, having owned and improved two of my own "fixer" homes in Albany, gained practical knowledge growing up in a family of engineers, and built an academic background in archaeology. This diverse foundation compliments my attention to detail, understanding of quality workmanship, and commitment to preserving and improving upon both functionality and aesthetics. Beyond transactions, I have a genuine love for our East Bay communities and their welfare. My service has included the Boards of the Albany Education Foundation and the Berkeley Association of REALTORS®, and as a frequent volunteer in Albany schools. Reach out to me via text, call, or email, and let's explore whether I am the right person to assist you in your real estate endeavors.
