I am a full time professional real estate agent based in Piedmont, California. I am well-versed in the legal aspects of real estate practice and I am licensed by the State of California to provide real estate services. I abide by a strict Code of Ethics to provide you with the highest level of service. Affiliated with The GRUBB Company, I am part of a team of 55 experienced Realtors ® with a wealth of real estate knowledge and various market resources. I am committed to serving you with integrity and respect.

A large part of my work is performed “behind the scenes”: previewing homes, researching comparable sales, gaining market knowledge, evaluating changing legislation and maintaining my professional credentials. For every hour I spend showing you homes, I will spend numerous hours in preparation. I constantly acquire new and updated information that will help me to better serve you, including assorted FSBO websites with listings other Realtors ® may miss.

I work entirely on commission, which I receive only if I initiate and complete a transaction. I am compensated only when all of your needs have been satisfied and you take ownership of your new home.
