About Me
Personal
I am a San Rafael native, born and raised in the local area. I am the 2nd oldest of seven children. The best life lesson I learned from being part of a large family was that sharing is a way of life that should be embraced rather than avoided. My paper route with the Independent Journal taught me that delivering a 'dry' paper on time made for good customer relations.
I attended St .Raphael's parochial school from 1st through 8th grade and then graduated from San Rafael High School in 1973. After a stint in the Army for 3 years, I later graduated from SFSU with a degree in Speech & Communications. My current hobbies include spending time with my family, traveling, and church ministry. My favorite and most challenging sport is golf. I'm not afraid to take a divot, which may actually travel further than the golf ball at times.
Professional
I am a licensed Real Estate Broker and operate my own brokerage business. I'm rogue-ish on real estate in that I differentiate myself as unique in the marketplace. I am respected by the real estate community, yet, I stand apart from the pack. This allows me to provide my own brand of personalize service.
The benefit to my clients is that I have complete freedom and flexibility to negotiate the best possible terms. Just as important, I have at my disposal, the tools, knowledge and creativity to help design a plan and then navigate a successful outcome in reaching my client's goals and dreams. I understand the local market and the nuances involved with buying and selling real property in Marin. My years of experience in Marin real estate has developed a keen insight and sharpened negotiating skills that offers the best possible service and representation a realtor can offer today.
I specialize in representing my clients in the purchase and listing of residential property in Marin County. I pride myself on up-to-date knowledge of current transactions, school districts, neighborhood information, and related services, including mortgage, insurance and inspection information.
I build my clientele one client at a time with a long term focus in mind. I'd be happy to put my 27+ years of experience to work at your pace and shepherd you towards achieving your real estate goals and dreams.
