Before starting my real estate career full time over 15 years ago, my business background was in contract administration, paralegal work and venture capital coordination. Looking back it seems that my work experience had been the preparation that allowed me to achieve the Emerald Elite designation as a top producer for Sonoma County (and company-wide) for the last 7+ years. Along with my Realtor certification, I have attained the coveted CRS accreditation which is the highest credential awarded to residential sales agents. I am also designated as an EcoGreen Certified Realtor, a Senior Real Estate Specialist, Resort Second Home Property Specialist and Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist of the Million Dollar Guild. Lastly, I have recently been named one of the “100 Most Influential Real Estate Agents in Northern California” by Rael Estate Executive, as well as one of “America’s Best Real Estate Agents” in Real Trends. I believe in Five Star Service, and I guarantee the same from my professional team and the related professionals that I recommend for your needs. Client Communication and attention to detail are an integral part of my work, as well as disciplined and successful negotiation skills. I handle my real estate business with the passion and care that wins my client’s loyalty, trust and friendship.
