About Me

 


When I meet new clients, one of the first questions many people ask is “how did you get into real estate?” The truth is, I landed here almost by accident, but now that I’m here, I’m here to stay!

Diverse Business Experience
After attending the College of William and Mary in Virginia, I worked for many years internationally and in Washington, DC. I had several interesting and challenging positions in the government sector, private sector and in the non-profit world. Perhaps one of the most exciting jobs I did back in those days was serving as Director of Corporate Relations of the U.S. Pavilion at the World’s Fair in Seville, Spain.

Stanford Business School
When I came to the Bay Area to attend Stanford Business School, I knew that I had found my home. I immediately fell in love with San Francisco – the natural beauty, the people, the restaurants, bars, and theaters, and the proximity to the ocean and mountains! After graduating, I worked for several years as Director of Client Services for a technology firm, and I really enjoyed it. But then I was bitten by the real estate bug.

I started thinking about buying a home and found myself fascinated with this crazy world of San Francisco real estate. I took a course in real estate in the evenings “just for fun,” but after purchasing my own home in the Mission District, I decided to move into this field for good.

Zephyr Real Estate
I am proud to be part of Zephyr, the most successful locally-owned firm in San Francisco. Not only was I impressed with the firm’s stellar 25-year track record, but I was also excited to find a company that holds many of the same core values that I do. A great example of this is the fact that Zephyr donates generously to many non-profits in the community.

Why me?
That’s all fine, you’re thinking…but why work with me? I believe that I offer a unique combination of skills and experiences:

I’m analytical, but I have a very down-to-earth personality and love working with people
I’m hardworking and ethical
I’m responsive
I’m a strong negotiator - I am an incredible advocate for my clients
I listen, I’m patient, and I think on my feet
I love this city - I am knowledgeable about San Francisco’s diverse neighborhoods
I give back to the community with my time and my money
I have a positive working relationship with realtors throughout the city, which is critical in this business

Perhaps most important, however, is that I view my clients as clients for life. I am not here to make a quick sale; rather, I’m here to build a relationship of trust while getting the job done. As a result, the majority of my sales are from repeat clients and referrals.

Thanks for visiting my site, and I hope to have the opportunity to work with you sometime in the future.
