I was raised in a ‘real estate family.' My mother was the first female owner of a major real estate franchise in Sonoma County and my father built custom homes. I grew up cleaning open houses, answering telephones at my mom's office, and working construction job sites. This rewarding profession put food on the table, several roofs over my head, and taught me the value of hard work and persistence.After college, I moved to Sacramento and worked in Investor Relations and Marketing Communications for Aerojet, Health Net, and DST Systems, all Fortune 500 companies. In 1999 I became a licensed real estate agent and put my marketing and finance background to work helping clients make informed decisions about their real estate purchases.I've lived in the Sacramento Valley for nearly 30 years. I understand our real estate market, its unique neighborhoods, and wonderful suburbs. Whether buyer, seller, or investor, I give my time and attention to my clients and value my relationships long after the deals close.My family includes my husband of 22 years David, my son Josh a recent graduate of Sacramento Country Day School and now attending the University of Colorado at Boulder, and our adorable rescue dog, Romeo. We live in the beautiful tree-lined neighborhood of Arden Oaks in a 1960s ranch style home we completely remodeled in 2014. Prior to that move we called El Dorado Hills home and still visit friends 'up the hill' at least weekly.I'm happy to help you with any real estate questions you may have.
