MY KNOWLEDGE...
As a licensed real estate agent, I am qualified to guide you in buying or selling a home, and will use my skills to your best advantage. I am a researcher by nature, reveling in facts & figures, and I"m a diligent manager who dots all the i's and crosses the t's.  I'm good at getting answers and tracking down information that others can't find. I firmly believe that when a door closes, with the right aptitude/attitude, you'll find that "open window"...


MY INTEGRITY...
Buying or selling a home is one of the most important transactions in the lives of many people. Because of that, it's extremely important that you work with someone you can trust. I have been trusted by many, many folks with their most valuable assets. It's a responsibility I take very seriously. I know that your success is my success.


LOCAL EXPERTISE...
Santa Cruz is a wonderful place to live and vacation, with its own set of extraordinary qualities. As a local professional, I will do the leg work, keeping you up-to-date with new listings and conditions as they impact the market. I will make the process as pleasurable and stress-free an experience for you as I can.  


MY UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE...
With several cross-country moves under my belt, I can identify with the stresses of packing, de-cluttering and preparing your home for sale, as well as the joys & challenges of settling into a new home and neighborhood. I come to Santa Cruz by way of Washington, DC to San Francisco to the Silicon Valley. I have a background in data collection & statistical analysis, business & office management, and publications design.


ARE YOU DISCERNING?  ME TOO!
I work with a select group of buyers and sellers.  Just as busy as you are, I won't bother you with unnecessary communications, but once I'm working on your transaction, you'll get updates as they occur.  I appreciate people who are upfront, direct and clear on what they expect.  If we agree that we won't together well, I'll refer you to someone else.


OUR SUCCESS...
I measure my success through the satisfaction of my clients, not through awards received or achievements. Whether you are looking to buy or sell your home, I will provide sound and trustworthy advice to help you achieve your real estate goals.


KNOWING ME...
Are you easy-going and friendly, and kind to the environment, kids & dogs?  A strong believer in "Reduce Reuse Recycle?" Then we'll get along very well. I have a lifelong fascination with all things architectural and am a whiz at rearranging furnishings to improve presentation. I also enjoy hands-on involvement in remodeling projects and creating unique ideas for property improvements.  I've been buying and selling homes since moving to California in 1983.   

I look forward to working with you.
