With 20 years of residential home sales, I am knowledgeable and experienced with skills that are pivotal in running a smooth transaction and bringing it to close. So, whether you are planning on selling, buying, leasing or needing property management for your home, I am confident and qualified to handle your situation and will ensure the most rewarding outcome for you.


The home buying and selling process is a complex transaction involving one of your most valuable assets...."your money". You need an expert who knows how to protect you and represent your best interests. I am skilled at handling delicate negotiations on your behalf, and experienced in avoiding legal pitfalls that could cost you money. My clients experience the importance of relying on my knowledge and opinions as I guide them through their real estate transaction. I provide sellers and buyers with all the data they need to make smart and informed decisions. To help provide the best service possible, I also rely on my large data base of superior vendors, i.e. Lenders, Estate Planners, Attorneys, and various contractors for counsel and advice. I have a money/time/hassle saving mentality and am always looking out for my client's best interest.

Referrals are the better part of my business as my clients tell their friends and family about the positive home buying/selling experience they had. My goal is to have clients for life. Not for just one transaction. Most of my clients have bought or sold many properties with me. Everyone knows a realtor, so the fact that my clients keep coming back, says a lot.

EDUCATION/TRAINING/DESIGNATIONS:

To stay on the pulse of the real estate market, I am continually taking courses at the South Orange County Association Of Realtors. Courses geared to stay current with new tax laws, new rules & regulations and cutting edge technology. I attend regular meetings and monthly webinars to discuss a full range of specialized areas like contract negotiation, conflict resolution, financial and legal issues, market fluctuations, demographic and cultural factors and state-of-the-art marketing trends in the industry.

Attended UCI in 2009 for Conflict Resolution and Negotiation and became a Certified Negotiation Expert (CNE) in March 2011.
2010 was Certified as a Short Sale and Foreclosure Resource (SFR)

Certified California Notary.

Currently studying for my Brokers License.

EXPERIENCE:

20 years of experience in full-time real estate sales.
Exceptional skills and a wide range of powerful connections, resources and expertise only time in the business can provide.
Served on the Board of Directors for the Irvine Association Of Realtors.

Prior to selling real estate, I was a Flight Attendant and a Sales Representative for a major cosmetic company. I conducted seminars throughout the United States teaching the product line and ways to increase sales. These professions were the foundation for my attitude towards providing a higher level of service. I always strive for a "win-win" outcome.

COMMUNITY SERVICE

I love to help people and always enjoy working on group or community projects. Currently working with the City of Irvine sponsoring an Emergency Prepardness program. I am a supporter of the Orange County Rescue Mission, Orangewood and Teen Challenge.


PERSONAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS: Running the San Diego Rock N 'Roll Marathon, climbing Mount San Jacinto and Sky Diving.

SPECIAL SKILLS: Interior Design Consultant

People say I have a talent for making things beautiful. Always decorating and re-decorating where ever I go. I love to make rooms functional and inviting. Big tip: Get rid of clutter. Almost every client has said that after I decorate their home, their quality of life improves. That makes me feel awesome! I have decorated many fine homes and offices throughout Orange County.
When I list a home, before putting it on the market I always stage it. This ability to prepare a home for sale is one of the qualities that separates me from other agents. Presentation of a home means the difference between hundreds or thousands of dollars and how fast the home sells. I have a proven track record when it comes to days on market.

One more thing to know about me....I am not afraid of hard work. I do what it takes.
