Fran0022_1000px MY EXPERIENCE STARTED EARLY

Many clients ask why I chose a real estate career. It has deep roots stemming from my childhood. As the daughter of a now retired active-duty Naval Chaplain, we moved often. We lived abroad, relocating multiple times. Itā€™s through that experience ā€” picking up a life and creating a new one ā€” that I learned theĀ relocation process can be exciting and full of challenges. Itā€™s with this perspective and sensitivity that I help my clients; Iā€™m passionate about making meaningful connections so my clients create the lifestyle they really want in the San Francisco Bay Area.

SKILLS & SPECIALTIES

Before becoming a Realtor, I had a successful career in high tech sales. It was the perfect training ground for learning and applying these critical skills:

  • Artful & Thorough InquiryĀ ā€“ I learned how important it is to ask the right questions in the right way at the right time. As a result, I can efficiently find the perfect solution for my clients.
  • Professional PresentationsĀ ā€“ Many times the difference between an accepted offer and rejection is a professional and well-constructed presentation. Iā€™ve found the adage ā€œyou only have one chance to make a first impressionā€ applies to emails, in-person discussions, and writing offers.
  • Strategic NegotiationĀ ā€“ Whether itā€™s a buyerā€™s or sellerā€™s market, success often hinges on cultivating positive relationships with other real estate agents and negotiating thatā€™s respectful and effective.

A WIDE NETWORK OF RESOURCES

Whether you are upsizing, downsizing, relocating into or out of the Bay Area area or looking for investment property, I can help. I leverage the Sereno Groupā€™s world-class marketing resources (both online and offline). I also have a wide professional network of local and trusted experts ā€” from home repair to staging and everything in between.

COMMITMENT TO SERVICE

My role as your Realtor is to help you through one of the largest decisions youā€™ll ever make ā€” buying or selling your home. The economy and real estate market of Silicon Valley is unpredictable and sometimes volatile. Over the years Iā€™ve successfully negotiated hot and cold markets as well asĀ extreme economic conditions. Iā€™m committed to helping you navigate through the intricacies and nuances of the real estate process with perspective and sensitivity.

On a personal note, Iā€™m proud to call the San Francisco Bay Area home for more than three decades. My fatherā€™s commitment as a military chaplain taught me the value of community and oneā€™s responsibility to support it. Each year I contribute to many Bay Area charities. I am also a member of the Sereno Groupā€™s 1% for Good Charitable Giving Program.

EDUCATION & CERTIFICATIONS

Before starting my career, I graduated from San Jose State University with Magna Cum Laude honors. I then honed my organizational and management skills in high tech sales for severalĀ well-known companies here in Silicon Valley. Since negotiating is a critical component to a real estate transaction, I completed the Influence and Negotiation Strategies Program from Stanfordā€™s Graduate School of Business.

As a driven professional, I also believe in lifelong learning and achieving excellence. In addition to belonging to the California Association of Realtors (CAR) and the National Association of Realtors (NAR), I hold the following designations:

  • Stanford Universityā€™s Negotiation Strategies Program
  • Certified Corporate Relocation Specialist
  • Global Mobility Specialist (GMS)
  • Certified Negotiation Specialist (CNS)
  • e-Pro ā€“ Internet marketing technology
  • Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES)
  • Americaā€™s Best Real Estate Agents by RealTrends (with Zillow & Trulia) since 2014
