It is the highest compliment when your past clients call, and ask you to help their 28 year old daughter you have known since she was four years old, along with her boyfriend buy their first home. Having sold their parents three houses, it was time for her first purchase! What a lovely lady she has turned out to be! Congratulations Nicole and Alex! ❤️🏠

Well, this is a first! "I had two past clients' homes listed for sale, at the same time, next door to each other." ❤️🏡

It was both an honor and a privilege to represent the estate of past client — a truly remarkable woman who was brilliant, kind, and deeply committed to empowering young women in software engineering.

With her family based in the Netherlands, I was grateful to serve as a trusted resource throughout the process, coordinating repairs, managing maintenance, and guiding the sale from a distance over the past several months. Knowing that her home would be carried forward with care made each step of the process meaningful.

The new owner, was overjoyed to find her home in the beloved North Hills Estates neighborhood of Ross — and I can’t help but feel that they would have been wonderful friends, had they had the chance to meet.

A heartfelt thank you to Sharon St. Clair for making this transaction seamless, professional, and genuinely pleasant from start to finish. It truly takes a special team to handle a sale like this with such grace. 🍀💐🏠🎊❤️
