About Me

Realtor® - Capital Gains Tax Deferral Specialist

Professional Experience:

Over the past 23 years, I have been buying, selling, building and remodeling homes on the Mid-Peninsula, primarily the Los Altos and Palo Alto communities. Since graduating from college, I have moved 13 times, 6 of those were corporate moves and 7 were on my own. Some of those moves were good and some not so good. All of those purchases and sales were smart choices resulting in a handsome return on my investment. As a result, I know what is required to facilitate a smooth real estate transaction, whether you are preparing for a cross-country move, or trading up to a larger home in the same community. I have a knack for timing the market and estimating value and will guide you, whether you are preparing to purchase or sell, to react at the right time to maximize your investment.

A great Realtor today is a trusted advisor and facilitator of information. My value is in my ability to provide you with options and market statistics so you can make the best real estate decisions. I know the market, up and down the peninsula, and have a talented team of dedicated professionals to partner with because I know that a smooth real estate transaction only happens with a strong community of support, and confidence in the agent managing the process.

Personal Background:

Fresh from college, I began my career in the retail industry with a New England Department Store and then Gap Kids before shifting gears to raise a family and join Coldwell Banker and now Sereno Group Real Estate. I’ve been an active member of the Palo Alto/Los Altos communities for the past 23 years, serving Environmental, Community Foundation, PTA and Swim Club boards and volunteering for local education and fund-raising events. Los Altos Hills has become home, where I live with my three grown children, two horses and a sweet dog.
