As a native Northern Californian, I'm an agent with thirty (30) years experience and an expert in this local area. I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise about buying and selling real estate here. It's not the same everywhere, so you need someone you can trust for up-to-date information. After graduating from the University of California, Santa Cruz, Sociology Department in Community Studies and Legal Studies, I pursued a career in real estate and became an investor. In addition, I began practicing mortgage lending. Hence, I offer consumers a wide variety of knowledge and options in home buying, selling and investment portfolio building. For the past 30 years I have been honored and privileged to service the bay area as an executive board member for Santa Clara County low income senior living housing, court appointed expert witness and at-risk youth housing crisis placement volunteer for local non-profits. My reputation is of the utmost in ethics as referenced in my previous transactions and proof that I put my customer's interest first in all aspects of real estate. My professional memberships include; California Association of Realtors (CAR), National Association of Realtors (NAR), and the Santa Clara County Association of Realtors (SCCAOR). I am currently an associate mentor with my alumni at UCSC Merrill College services, which benefits at-risk students requiring encouragement, confidence and Santa Clara Retirement Foundation. I'm also the proud mother of two successful adult children and four wonderful grandchildren.
