About

"Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you'll ever make. My goal is to help you make that decision with confidence by providing honest guidance, strong negotiation, and the experience to navigate every step of the process.

For more than 23+ years, I've helped buyers, sellers, investors, and families throughout the San Francisco East Bay achieve their real estate goals. As a lifelong East Bay resident and REALTOR® with eXp Realty of California, Inc., I bring extensive local market knowledge, strategic insight, and a client-first approach to every transaction. My philosophy is simple: Helping people make great decisions.

Before beginning my real estate career, I spent 23+ years building, operating, and successfully selling my own businesses in the Bay Area. That entrepreneurial background taught me the value of hard work, creative problem-solving, and skilled negotiation—qualities that continue to benefit my clients today.

I believe every client deserves personalized service because every real estate journey is unique. Whether you're purchasing your first home, downsizing, investing, relocating, or selling a longtime family property, I'm committed to making the process as smooth, informed, and successful as possible.

Beyond Real Estate

Community has always been important to me. I've volunteered at Hidden Hills Elementary School in various leadership roles, including Director of Corporate Match, and I earned my Bachelor of Science degree from the University of California, Davis.

When I'm not working with clients, you'll likely find me enjoying time with family, playing tennis or golf, cycling, cooking, scuba diving, attending contemporary jazz concerts, or working with dogs. I've always had Rottweilers—they're incredibly loyal family companions.

Travel has also shaped my perspective, with adventures taking me throughout the United States and around the world, including Hawaii, Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, St. John, Rome, Paris, London, Switzerland, Hong Kong, China, and Kazakhstan.

A Personal Note

Family is at the center of everything I do. One of the most meaningful chapters of my life came while my husband and I were beginning the adoption process to grow our family. During that journey, I became pregnant with our first son. We remained committed to adoption, and together traveled halfway around the world to welcome our second son from Kazakhstan. That experience reinforced my belief that life's greatest rewards often come from patience, perseverance, and following your heart.

I'm also a lifelong animal lover and have a special place in my heart for rescue dogs. Over the years, I've had the joy of adopting multiple dogs from shelters and giving them a loving home. They have brought so much happiness to our family and continue to remind me of the importance of compassion, patience, and giving others a second chance.

Today, I bring that same commitment and dedication to every client I have the privilege of serving. Whether you're buying, selling, or investing, I'm here to help you make informed decisions and feel confident every step of the way.
