✨ A little Charleston charm, a little retro soul, and a lot of love poured into every detail.

My Park Circle Airbnb has officially remained in Airbnb’s Top 5% of homes worldwide — and I’m so grateful to also be celebrating 5 years in a row as a Superhost. 🏡✨

What started as a creative passion project has become a place where guests celebrate anniversaries, girls trips, family visits, concerts, beach weekends, and quiet mornings under the palms. 🌴☀️

One of my favorite parts? Hearing how much people fall in love with Park Circle itself — the walkable restaurants, vintage charm, local coffee shops, music, breweries, and that easygoing Charleston lifestyle.

Hosting has taught me that great homes aren’t just about beautiful design… they’re about how a space makes people feel. 🤍

If you’re planning a trip to Charleston, I’d love to host you.

A little family getaway to Long Beach and a stop at the iconic Rainbow Sandals factory 🌊☀️🩴

There’s something nostalgic about Rainbow flip flops for me — the soft worn-in leather, beach days, summer adventures, and that laid-back California feeling they somehow capture so perfectly. Mine have been everywhere with me. 🤍

Trips like this always remind me how much I love the simple moments: good weather, family time, ocean air, and discovering the little places that make California feel so special.

Anyone else completely loyal to their Rainbow sandals? 🙋‍♀️✨

Sometimes Instagram turns into something much more meaningful than just social media. ✨🏡

This wonderful creative family first found me through Instagram while planning their relocation to Mill Valley. Working alongside their relocation company, I helped guide them through the process from afar — learning not just what they needed in a house, but how they wanted their life here to feel.

After months of searching, we found the perfect fit: a home with character, warmth, creativity, and space for this artistic family to truly thrive. 🤍🎨🌿

These are the moments I love most — helping people transition into a new chapter and community with confidence and excitement.

Thinking about relocating to Marin County? I’d love to help you navigate the process with local insight, honesty, and care.

JUST SOLD ✨🏡

This super cute San Rafael bungalow stole hearts the moment it hit the market — and the results reflected it. Representing the seller, we secured over $110,000 above the asking price in this highly desirable location. 🙌

From the charm and character to the lifestyle this neighborhood offers, buyers immediately connected with the feeling of “home.” That emotional connection, paired with the right pricing and marketing strategy, can make all the difference.

So happy for my sellers and grateful for the trust. 🤍

One of the most likely buyers for your Marin home may not even live here yet. ✨

They’re in San Francisco. Seattle. Chicago. Maybe New York.

They’ve built successful lives in fast-moving cities, but lately they’ve been craving something different — more space, more nature, more connection, more balance. Marin County starts to feel less like a getaway… and more like where they truly want to live. 🌿🏡

That’s why positioning matters.
Luxury real estate today isn’t just about listing a home — it’s about telling the right story to the right audience, wherever they are in the world.

Swipe to see how we strategically market Marin homes beyond the local buyer pool and why that can make all the difference. 🤍

JUST SOLD ✨🏡

Represented the seller on this incredible San Rafael sale — securing $430,000 over asking with a 7-day close. 🙌

Results like this don’t happen by luck. They come from strategic pricing, thoughtful preparation, strong negotiation, and creating the kind of exposure that emotionally connects with buyers the moment a home hits the market.

In today’s market, the right positioning can completely change the outcome.

So grateful to my wonderful sellers for trusting me through the process. 🤍

Thinking about selling in Mill Valley, Sausalito, Larkspur, Corte Madera, San Rafael, or elsewhere in Marin County? I’d love to help you maximize your home’s value and create a strategy tailored to today’s buyers.

This Memorial Day, we pause with gratitude. 🇺🇸

A quiet moment to honor the men and women who gave everything in service to our country — and to remember that the freedoms we enjoy, the communities we build, and the homes we gather in were protected by their sacrifice.

Wishing you a meaningful Memorial Day filled with reflection, connection, and appreciation. 🤍

JUST SOLD ⚓✨

There’s nothing cookie-cutter about Sausalito houseboat living — and this one was especially cool. Floating lifestyle, artistic soul, waterfront views, and that unmistakable Sausalito charm. 🌊🏡

I had the pleasure of representing the buyer on this special purchase and successfully negotiated nearly 10% off the original asking price 🙌 In a market where strategy matters, having the right guidance can make a significant difference — especially with unique properties like floating homes.

Beyond the savings, this was about helping my client secure a lifestyle and community they truly connected with. That’s always the win. 🤍

Thinking about buying in Sausalito, Mill Valley, or elsewhere in Marin County? I’d love to help you navigate the market with creativity, strategy, and strong local insight.
