Born and raised in Mountain View, California on an 80 acre farm, my work ethics were established early on and I truly believe that my upbringing contributed to my long standing success as a hard working REALTOR®.  In 1974 I moved to Los Altos where I raised my family and I am so proud of the accomplishments of my children. 

I have been a highly respected realtor for over 36 years covering the Peninsula.  Throughout my career I have consistently been a top producer achieving many awards for listing and sales production, culminating in the Silicon Valley Association of REALTORS® LifeTime Achievement Award.  I have been ranked among the top 1% of REALTORS® and have been honored and acknowledged for this achievement at the annual President's Roundtable. 

I entered the real estate world in 1985, first with Mansell and Company, a small boutique firm in Los Altos, then Alain Pinel Realtors for almost 30 years until they were acquired by Compass in 2019.  The move to join Sereno in 2021 just felt good, back to basics and back to relationship building, trust, old fashioned real estate values and ethics.  Sereno feels like a family again, small and intimate, along with sharing and caring.  Being locally owned with a strong presence both in the Lake Tahoe Basin and the Bay Area, I felt the shift to Sereno would be the perfect fit for me.

I will continue to serve my clients on the Peninsula but I am particularly excited to associate with our new Sereno Tahoe City office, where I will be offering service to find your dream vacation home or primary Lake Tahoe Home.  As the days and months unfold I look forward to bringing the same quality of care I provide in Silicon Valley to the beautiful mountains.  Many exciting possibilities await in Lake Tahoe.

Whether you are a first time home buyer or a seasoned seller, I will provide the same level of great service, will design a tailored strategy based on your specific requirements, and will counsel and guide you through the complexities of a real estate transaction.  I pride myself in a high percentage of repeat and referral business from past clients.  My clients have trusted me with the negotiation of many second home properties out of the area.  I continue to marvel at the loyalty displayed after all of these years.  Their confidence in me is the highest compliment that can be paid to a Realtor.  My success is a result of my attention to service, professionalism, honesty, high energy and long hours.
