I've been in Real Estate since 1984, have been one of Berkeley’s top-selling agents for many years, and have been a member of The Grubb Company Platinum Circle since 2019. I have served as an elected member of the local Board of Realtors Board of Directors and worked training new agents. I was raised with four great sisters in the Midwest and have happily made Berkeley my home since 1974 where my husband and I raised our daughter, a musician, now living and working in New York.
A graduate of Webster College in St. Louis, I later trained and worked professionally in theater and teaching before entering the real estate field. I find that my theater and art training as well as the skills learned as a teacher continue to come in handy daily in my work with clients and their homes.
I truly enjoy working with people and make a concerted effort to put people at ease. It's serious business, buying or selling a house, but the process doesn't need to be without a bit of humor and fun. Over the past 30+ years, I've maintained a very good working relationship with other local professionals, which has helped to serve my clients well.
Each person and house I work with seems to present a slightly different set of challenges, require a slightly different approach, and offer a new lesson for me to squirrel away for later use. As a person who's always thrived on variety, it's kept me entertained and stimulated throughout the years.
Almost 100% of my business comes from referrals from friends and happy clients. Working in Berkeley, Oakland, Piedmont, Alameda, Kensington, Albany, El Cerrito, Emeryville, and Richmond, I’ve been lucky to have a successful business balanced beautifully between both buyers and sellers. This balanced business keeps me on my toes and alert to the subtleties of the always fluctuating market.
Don't hesitate to get in touch. I take care of all of the detailed processes making home buying or selling super easy. I'm happy to help.
