"Buy land they're not making it anymore." Mark Twain

WHEN YOU WORK WITH ME: MY CLIENTS KNOW THAT I WILL GO TO-THE-WALL TO NEGOTIATE IN THEIR BEST INTERESTS. When I work with you, we work in partnership. I provide the market information, education, strategy and guidance that enables you to make smart decisions. Then I support those decisions with targeted negotiation and no-stones-left-unturned follow-through. IT IS MY JOB, AS YOUR REALTOR/ADVISOR, TO KNOW THE MARIN REAL ESTATE MARKET INSIDE AND OUT. Since the state of real estate changes monthly, weekly, daily sometimes, I will continually help you manage your expectations while keeping your vision alive. EVERYTHING THAT MATTERS TO YOU IS IMPORTANT TO ME. I work with smart, incredible people that I like very much. During a real estate transaction, you and I call/email/text several times a week - every day, at crucial points. I am familiar with both your wish list and your must-have list. I connect you with the necessary resources and answers that take you smoothly toward success, with your feet planted firmly on terra firma. THAT IS WHY MY BUSINESS IS BUILT ON PERSONAL REFERRALS. I promise 100% stellar real estate care to my clients and their friends and family. PLEASE CALL/EMAIL/TEXT ME ANYTIME. I welcome your buying, selling, relocating and investment inquires – and your business – with open arms and the utmost in gratitude.
