What I offer

Currently serving Santa Clara and Alameda counties, I

ork to present options that are based on each client's unique

goals

This can be based on a milestone in life (first home, marriage, growing family, downsizing, relocation, divorce,

death, etc.)

financial goals (building equity, investment, planning for retirement, estate planning, etc.) or a number of

other reasons. A real estate goal can be long or short term, but either way, it is usually a significant financial decision

that can greatly affect our lifestyle and ability to achieve future goals. I work to I assist my clients

in making informed

decisions

about when and how to act towards a goal. Although it is a term "agent for life" is often overused these

days, I truly do strive to be a resource and expert that my clients can rely on throughout out their lives and

transitioning goals.

realize that

egree

of trust is

earned by

listening and offering options to the client,,,

taking care

clients to the

best

of my abilities.

may

mean acting immediately

;

other

times it may mean working towards

the

goal for a month, or even a year. Either way, I believe that it is usually better

to find out the steps involved in

achieving the goal, sooner that later. Whether you're looking to sell, purchase a

dream home, ideal investment, or

trying to purchase your first home, meeting

client's

specific criteria is important to me.

Real estate needs are as

unique

as the people who have them. I

enjoy creating an elated client by

changing perceptions of what a Realtor can

offer and e

xceeding expectations

Background

alifornia

native, I grew up in Cupertino, CA and have lived and worked thoughout most of the SF bay area for the

past 30 years

My first career was as an Electro-Mechanical engineer working in Silicon Valley.

Although I always

liked "solving the puzzle" during the design p

rocess, I always had an interest in real estate. Ever

since I was a

teenager, I was always picking up real estate magazines in supermarkets and dragging my friends

and

family to open

houses. I always loved finding the "hidden gem" or value priced home.

Eventually, I bought my first home. Due to the

fact that my agent's office closed during the purchase, I had to

learn

the nuts and bolts of a real estate transaction quickly in order to save my purchase! This was the first time

that I

realized, as in any industry, it is difficult to find good

and reliable

professional

help

. This experience has always

erved as a

reminder of how professionals

often

fail their clients. Just as I felt that I deserved more, I believe that my

clients

o as

well

Over the next few years,

my experience of having to fight to keep my own transaction together

led me to assist

people

wit friendly assistance

when

ever

they needed

real estate

help

took pride

in finding great investment properties and

loan programs for

anyone that

asked.

I later found that I was often able to

help people

sell a property faster and at

higher dollar than most real

estate

professionals.

I soon realized that "solving the puzzle" of a great real estate

transaction could truly be an

exciting and rewarding

experience.

While I am qualified for

ifferent

professions,

and

employment has never been an issue, my desire to be challenged, achieve where others have failed, and help people

achieve what they may have not thought was possible, has

led me to

be passionate in my work

s a

full time

REALTOR

Hobbies/Interests [Yes, I'm actually human ;) ]

Yes,

love being a Full T

me REALTOR. Still, I try to avoid driving my husband insane by being too one

dimensional

;

balance

in life

is important. So, I do have a few hobbies. I love viewing and creating art

(mostly

painting)

. I

love to garden.

However, o

ne year

due to a busy workload, only my cacti survived

. Currently,

I am

back to

composting and

thankfully

have

everything on drip (whew). Whenever I get a chance, I like to cook. My

husband

, Shawn,

says that

the first time he had my

lasagne, he knew that he had to have it for the rest of his life,,,

yep, lasagne closed the deal!

Speaking of Shawn, he is my rock and keeps me grounded both personally and

professionally. When and if I start to get too full of myself, he reminds me to always remember what it was like to be

on "the other side of the desk".

Loves of my life...Hubby Shawn and Mandy (dog/honorary human).
