Bigger isn’t always better when it comes to luxury homes. Buyers are increasingly focused on thoughtful design, privacy, and lifestyle amenities rather than just the number of rooms.

Outdoor retreats, cozy yet sophisticated living spaces, and high-end finishes can make a home feel truly special. Understanding these priorities helps you guide clients in preparing, staging, or marketing their homes for maximum impact. 🏡

As a nearly lifelong resident of Santa Cruz County and a licensed real estate broker with more than 25 years of experience, I offer my clients knowledge, experience, professionalism, sharp negotiation, and above all, honest representation of my client's best interests and needs.

Committed to achieve the goals of my clients, I provide full service marketing for homes and estates from the country to the coast and local expertise in the Santa Cruz and Monterey markets.

I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Marketing from San Diego State University and, in addition to buying and selling real estate, have extensive experience in interior design. I have a great eye for helping my sellers prepare their homes to be put on the market and my buyers by suggesting creative upgrades and/or remodeling ideas for properties that require improvements. Furthermore, I offer an experienced team of professionals to assist in the process.
