I am a marketing specialist.

I began my career in real estate as the marketing director for one of the top real estate agencies in Santa Cruz where I gained experience in the development and implementation of effective marketing strategies. I continued on as the marketing director for Dream Catch Properties in Capitola before becoming a licensed Realtor to work one-on-one with my clients and to direct my skills toward marketing your home.

 

I bring effective negotiation techniques and problem-solving skills to all transactions.

In college, as a student-elected ombudsman, I gained experience negotiating on behalf of fellow students to come up with fair solutions to the concerns of all parties. I apply these negotiation techniques in real estate to ensure a smooth transaction and to help my clients get the best price possible - whether that means a better price on the sale of your property or a more strategic offer on the home of your dreams. Together, we'll make it happen. 

 

I have a background in design and construction.

When it comes to your home; you're in good hands. While co-managing and supporting the growth of a local painting and construction company for over 10 years, I became knowledgeable in construction techniques and cosmetic renovations. I use this knowledge to help you determine which (if any) home improvements are necessary before you sell, and which repairs should be prioritized after you buy. 

 

I can increase the value of your property.

Staging, minor repairs, and basic improvements can make a world of difference when it comes to selling your home in Santa Cruz. Let me help you increase the value of your property with a few simple improvements. Short on cash? We can fund your renovation - with no interest or hidden fees, to get you the best price for your home. Contact me to learn more about our renovation options.

​

I am committed to my clients.

With over 14 years experience in customer care, I understand the importance of providing an invaluable service to my clients. I believe in consistent communication, honesty, and integrity when working with others. I strive to exceed my clients’ real estate needs and expectations throughout the entire process of buying and selling a home in Santa Cruz.
