Top Marin Real Estate Agent & Marin Realtor®
#1 Marin County Agent
Golden Gate Sotheby’s International Realty 2017
Top Ranked 2015-TODAY!
Combining a background in Fortune 500 marketing, landscape design and home remodeling with a passion for real estate.
Combining a Fortune 500 marketing background with decades of design and remodeling experience, I bring a unique perspective to luxury real estate in Marin County. Since beginning my career with Golden Gate Sotheby’s International Realty more than a decade ago, I have built a reputation for exceptional client service, strategic marketing, and results that consistently place me among the top agents in the region.
While my primary focus is Marin County real estate, I also work in the greater North Bay area with special expertise in Sonoma/Napa as well as San Francisco.
In 2017 I was honored to be named Golden Gate Sotheby’s International Realty’s #1 agent in Marin County, and I have remained in the top five ever since. My affiliation with Sotheby’s International Realty provides my clients with unparalleled global reach, brand recognition, and local expertise.
Before real estate, I spent ten years in marketing at Levi Strauss & Co., served as a U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer in Togo, Wtogo west Africa, and later founded a landscape design company. Having personally bought, remodeled, and sold homes in the Bay Area for more than 25 years, I understand both the practical and emotional sides of homeownership. This diverse background allows me to guide clients with a blend of business acumen, creative design insight, and calm professionalism. You may read more about my experience in the Peace Corps here.
I combine my strong business / marketing sense, my creative design aesthetic and my calm, professional demeanor with timely and honest communication to provide my clients with concierge-level services. I truly love what I do, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
I approach each transaction as a partnership, offering concierge-level service, honest communication, and a commitment to helping clients achieve their goals. From expertly staging and marketing properties to leveraging a strong digital and social media presence, I tailor strategies to maximize exposure and results.
Through my strong social media and internet presence I employ a variety of inbound marketing techniques to showcase my listings as well as offer advice to clients and potential clients. You may want to check out my all-original Marin Real Estate News and Lifestyle Blog, as well as my presence on Facebook, Instagram, Linked In, and Tiktok.
Marin County has been my home since 1998, when I crossed the Golden Gate Bridge in search of natural beauty and a strong sense of community. Today, I am proud to be part of the Marin Top Agent Network and to every day help clients discover the extraordinary lifestyle this region offers.
Whether you’re buying or selling, I would be honored to assist you in making your next move.
