With a 20-year background in software engineering I remain organized, detail-oriented, and thorough. Above all, I am highly efficient. It's a skill I depended upon in my tech career and now it underpins my real estate practice. Nothing slips through the cracks, and no time is wasted. My husband and I began our real estate adventures in Denver, and we continued investing in rental properties when we moved to Berkeley. Today we are settled in Piedmont, where I am actively involved in the community and our three children attend school.When I earned my real estate license I instantly put to good use all I had learned about construction and renovation over the last decades. One of my greatest strengths is quickly seeing how you can get the most from your real estate investment. My years of experience buying and selling give my clients a distinct advantage, especially when it comes to assessing a home's value and knowing how to enhance its worth. If you're selling, I'll ensure your home prep nets the biggest bang for your buck. On the buying side, I have a special knack for reviewing disclosures so that you know exactly what you are paying for, and where to press for concessions.Why work with me? Because your time is valuable. The hard truth is that great houses are hard to come by. When you're looking for property and don't want to waste time, let me help you. Listening carefully, I'll identify your most important priorities and then design a custom plan of action to achieve your goals within your ideal time frame.
