Client Success Story: Embracing the Creative Challenge
He works on the Peninsula; she works in Oakland. They wanted a home in a certain price range that was walkable to the Glen Park BART station. They were skeptical that we could find something to their liking. The supply of Glen Park homes is limited, but I love creative challenges! When we saw 143 Burnside a few weeks later, we went into high gear. The house is the perfect size, condition and location for my clients. I made the listing agent my new best friend and we wrote the winning offer, despite multiple offers. Before closing escrow, I referred various general contractors, architects, floor refinishers, heating specialists and roofers to my clients. They even had a energy audit done on their new home—a first for me! With a stack of plans and estimates, my clients are poised to transform their house into a home. Need a new best friend? Problem solver? New home? You can count on me!
Client Success Story: Partner with a Local Expert
After viewing literally dozens of properties in the City and finding none that were exactly right, my clients told me that they wanted to expand their search to the East Bay. I joked with them that since I specialize in San Francisco, I might turn into a pumpkin if I crossed the Bay Bridge! Wanting the best for my clients, I referred them with an East Bay agent while we continued to look at San Francisco properties too. Ten days later, they told me that they wanted to make an offer on a home in Oakland’s Montclair District and they wanted ME to represent them. Partnering with the referral agent who lives and works in Montclair, she advised us on the local regulations, forms and inspectors in the neighborhood. Her local knowledge of the people, players and comparable properties helped us to write a winning offer and close the transaction to the great satisfaction of my clients, without turning me into a pumpkin. Looking for an agent who will act in your best interests?…You can count on me!
Client Success Story: Record Price for Extraordinary Forest Knolls House
My clients original plan was to sell in 2016, but I kept telling them that we could get an excellent price for 261 Christopher Drive in the current market. Located just off Clarendon Avenue, this is not your average Forest Knolls home. My meticulous clients had remodeled their home with the best materials and attention to detail that are normally seen only in the finest North Side homes. We flawlessly executed a customized marketing plan and received three offers. This extraordinary home sold for all time record high in dollars per square foot among all homes in Forest Knolls. Want to take advantage of the current market? You can count on me!
Client Success Story: Making Your Next Move
Green Street was where my client, a former Pan Am stewardess, had first met her husband and fallen in love. There were so many happy and bittersweet memories connected with their life in this gorgeous Edwardian flat, but it was time for her next move. She has beautiful furnishings, so all we had to do was rearrange some possessions and refinish the oak floors in certain rooms. Like every real estate transaction, this one had its challenges, but my client is especially realistic, decisive and savvy. She will always remain close to my heart. Thinking about making a move? You can count on me!
Client Success Story: Patience and Persistence Wins
After making offers on four other homes over a 15 month period, my newlywed clients and I spent a lot of time together. We looked at literally dozens of homes, searching for that perfect combination of views, space, light and location. The wife was always available to get in the car to see any new listing, usually on the same day it hit the MLS. We saw 60 Clifford Terrace and she immediately saw its potential. This stately Edwardian in Ashbury Heights had been lovingly cared for by the same family for over 40 years. An added bonus: the house was sold with a separate parcel in the rear alley, big enough for a separate structure that is currently being used as a 3rd garage. This is the first home for my clients and they are thrilled. Want a Broker who is patient and persistent?…You can count on me!

Client Success Story: Retired Yoga Teacher Makes Changes
Just before celebrating her 91st birthday, my client “retired” from teaching yoga, having taught literally thousands of classes in her 40 year career. About the same time, she decided to sell her home at 451 Victoria and move into the Sequoias San Francisco, an accredited life care community. She had lived in her home for 55 years and I advised her on the necessary changes to prepare her home for sale. Within the first week after going on the market, we received four offers and the home sold over the asking price. My client loves the activities and social life at the Sequoias, but most of all she loves the gym. She is the only 91 year old that I know who can still do “the splits”. Thinking of making a change?…You can count on me!
