Services

High end luxury properties: Having worked with many VIPs, I respect their confidentially and time constraints and handle many of the details buyers and sellers must contend with when moving.

Seniors Real Estate Specialist: With a National Association of Realtors SRES certification, I work with mature adults and their families to ease the transition from the home they often brought their children up in to a new home. With sensitivity and a wealth of resources, I am able to assist with downsizing, going to assisted living or relocating to another state.

Relocation clients: I am familiar with communities in the San Fernando Valley and surrounding areas. I help those relocating to Los Angeles absorb the `sticker shock' by guiding them to one of the area's desirable neighborhoods that best fit their needs, wants and budget. My motto is 'give people more than they expect...and do it cheerfully.

First time buyers: While sharing the excitement of the first time home buyer I educate and guide them through the process of buying a home.

Investors: These days with the stock market being so volatile, more and more investors are turning to real estate to secure their future. I work with them in locating and purchasing properties with price, location and goals in mind.

Probates & Trusts: I am familiar with and abide by the laws of selling a property going through probate or in a trust, working alongside the attorney, administrator and the heirs.

Professional Experience

After deciding to make a career change from motion picture and television production, I got my real estate license and started my new career at Prudential California Realty in Encino (now Berkshire Hathaway). Remaining there for ten years I worked with buyers and sellers in the San Fernando Valley and surrounding areas. I built a reputation for myself of trust and respect within the real estate industry and with my clients. Moving to the prestigious Sotheby's International Realty in Sherman Oaks, I continue to keep up with the ever-changing real estate market, technology and provide the same excellent service to my clients. Whether the transaction is a condo or a `castle', I am always accessible and give every client my personal attention. My enthusiasm, ethics, dedication and knack for "putting it all together and keeping it all together" has resulted in many happy home buyers and sellers.
