When you throw a Pie PickUp Party and your office is in Cambria, there is only one choice for the pies - Linns!!! A group of us hosted our annual pie party where clients/friends came together, enjoyed a slice of pie, some coffee or wine and went home with their favorite Linns pie. Olallieberry was the #1 choice followed by Apple, then Pumpkin. We added in Pecan this year and those who picked Pecan are going to be extra happy we think! :) Happy Thanksgiving!

A big part of my work — and something I genuinely care about — is helping families navigate the sale of a home held in a trust or estate. These situations are rarely straightforward, and that’s okay. They deserve a thoughtful, steady approach.

1788 Dorking was one of those sales.
There were attorney requirements, specific wording, and limitations on how I could market the property. None of it phased me. I’ve learned that when you work with trusts and estates, flexibility and calm leadership matter just as much as strategy.

I stayed focused, respected the parameters, and guided the family through each step so they could move forward with confidence.

This is the kind of work I really value — supporting families through transition and making the process feel manageable, even when there are extra layers involved.

If you’re handling a trust or estate and need someone who will walk you through it clearly and respectfully, I’m here.

✨ SOLD! ✨

1788 Dorking Avenue in Cambria successfully closed on Monday at 96% of list price! Thanks to Leslie’s incredible skills and expertise working with estate attorneys, what would be challenging for other agents couldn’t have been easier for Leslie or her clients.

Who you work with in real estate matters and Leslie is simply the best!

Quiet online means busy in business.
It’s been a bit since I’ve posted — because I’ve been focused where it matters most: serving clients and growing this business.

I don’t farm out my social media or my work — when you see my name, it’s me, hands-on and all in. 💪

Grateful for this season of focus and momentum — and excited to start sharing what’s been happening behind the scenes.
In the meantime - enjoy Fall!!

🏡 Just Pending in Cambria!

1788 Dorking Avenue is officially under contract — after just 25 days on the market, compared to the Cambria average of 94 days.

Smart pricing, strong marketing, and strategic timing made all the difference in generating solid interest and securing an offer quickly.

Congratulations to my sellers on this successful result — and to the buyers who will soon call this special Cambria property home.

This one feels extra special - in many ways. One particular for real estate is I know how to price. When I look at the MLS, the down arrows are thick representing price reductions. I know the neighborhoods and I know the trends. It feels extremely good to see a sold at full list - with no concessions other than buyer broker compensation - I know my numbers - you can sit and watch your leverage ebb away or you can go with the one who delivers what the market is really saying.

✨ SOLD! ✨

Congratulations to Broker Owner Leslie Dougherty for closing the sale of her listing (and her own home!) at list price! 2260 Malvern Street has been home to many happy memories and is now looking forward to its new owners making their own.

But it’s not goodbye to Cambria for Leslie - you’ll still find her at our Cambria Office at 734 Main Street, Suite C working her real estate magic for her buyers and sellers!
