Professional Philosophy

My objective is to help you attain your real estate goals in the most effective and problem-free manner. I call myself "The professional for professionals", which sums up my educational and professional background and the clients I tend to work with. I know the San Francisco Peninsula, having lived and worked in Menlo Park since 1980. Dogged determination and sensitivity to client needs are key personal traits of mine. I have represented buyers and sellers of homes in a wide range, from $4,000,000 estates to condos at $350,000. My specialty if any, is quality client service. Home-buying and selling is a multi faceted process: personal needs, contracts, real property and legal issues, property condition, insurance, taxes, loans, escrow, etc.. You can count on me to pull itProfessional Experience

I have been helping clients with their real estate needs on the San Francisco Peninsula for sixteen wonderful years. During this time I have represented sellers and buyers from Cupertino in the South Bay all the way up the Peninsula to Burlingame in the North Peninsula, and all the towns in between. Prior to real estate I worked with individual clients as a financial planner for investment managers, bank trust departments, Price Waterhouse tax department, and I was a paralegal for Pillsbury, Madison & Sutro in San Francisco. My 30 years experience in various aspects of personal financial services in the San Francisco Bay Area continue to be a real asset in serving my clients.
