Having lived in San Francisco for many years, I know and LOVE this City and its diverse and unique neighborhoods. I think the best thing about San Francisco is that there truly is a neighborhood for everyone - no matter who you are or how you live, there is a place where you can settle in and have the life you desire. And I enjoy assisting my clients to find just the right home for their needs and interests.

I am a San Francisco property expert.

I make it my continuing goal to know SF like the back of my hand so that my clients can benefit from my knowledge. I make sure to tour a lot of property every week which keeps my expertise of the local market current and relevant to buyers and sellers. I understand the dynamics of our market and I know how to strategically approach a purchase or a sale in San Francisco to get the best results for my clients. I am well-versed in new construction projects slated for San Francisco, and I make a point to stay on top of future development and City planning. I also have excellent relationships with the other Realtors® in our community, which is a crucial part of my success.

In January 2005 I purchased my own home in Noe Valley. I understand first-hand the competitive and complex nature of the San Francisco market.

I am deeply committed to my clients.

I am committed to helping my clients meet their real estate goals and I provide a high level of service, strategic thinking and negotiation skills that get them results. From the start I seek to save my clients time and energy by previewing relevant properties, coordinating pre-sale preparations and leveraging technology to their advantage. I also proactively manage, negotiate and direct every aspect of their transaction and always act on behalf of their best interest. My goal is to gain a client for life, and therefore I take the long view as to how to be most effective as your Realtor®. As a result, I have happy clients and most of my business comes from referrals.

I have extensive business experience.

I have an education from U.C. Santa Barbara and many years of entrepreneurial business experience. Prior to real estate, I ran my own Manhattan-based business offering marketing, branding and financial management services to professional photographers. I also worked as a photographer myself for clients such as Benjamin Moore, Martha Stewart Living and Gourmet Magazine, among others.

As a result of having run my own business, I offer many skills which directly benefit the buyers and sellers who work with me. For sellers, my marketing savvy and strong visual skills are of great value in our current market, where quality presentation and proper positioning are key to a successful sale. I also am an excellent negotiator, a creative problem-solver and I am diligent, detailed and proactive - I work hard to get my clients what they deserve!

I am supported by Zephyr Real Estate.

I am proud to partner with Zephyr Real Estate, the most successful, locally-owned real estate company in San Francisco. Zephyr offers me a high level of support, cutting-edge tools and a network of talented and capable Realtors® to cooperate with - all of which are crucial to my success and that of my clients. Zephyr also shares my belief in giving to my community and offers financial and volunteer support to several local organizations.

I believe in giving back.

In addition to my work in Real Estate, I also serve on the Board of Directors for GirlSource, a San Francisco non-profit that equips local, low-income young women ages 14 - 18 with life, leadership and job skills to foster self-esteem and fight poverty. And I give a portion of every commission that I make to GirlSource and other local organizations that are making a difference in our community.
