Why I Chose Pleasanton Real Estate
We Probably Grow Most in Our Lives When Life is Kicking Us Around!
That’s what happened to me and as a result, I am here today to offer exceptional Real Estate Service to my clients! I am now approaching 9-years as a Pleasanton CA Realtor!
In early 2000 I began the process of a life-changing event; a divorce. Emotions were high, stress was high and life was about to change drastically. I was so overwhelmed, I literally couldn’t make a decision about much of anything… would I sell my house, refinance…I didn’t know. I spoke with a Realtor who referred me to a lender who was not very helpful. I was already devastated by my situation and I needed someone to guide me. A CPA referred me to a different lender who did just that. He came to my home, talked to me about my options and with that one conversation I realized I could refinance, keep my kids in their home and begin my new life. He literally walked me through all the paperwork realizing how overwhelmed I felt. I was so moved by his assistance, I began a career in lending and Real Estate within the following 6-months. I didn’t care for the lending part of the business, but found I loved helping people buy and sell real estate!
How I Have Grown Since Then
Almost 9-years in the business, I now specialize in Short Sales. My personal experience taught me how sensitive and thoughtful I need to be about what others are going through. In order to provide the quality of service my clients deserve, I continue to educate myself about this ever-changing business. Short Sale Selling is by far a more difficult endeavor than most realize. I hear that only a small percentage of short sale listings ever get closed, but I am here to tell you nearly all of the properties I have taken on have closed.
Early on in the business I spent quite a bit of time working with buyers; 1st time buyers, seasoned buyers and move-down buyers. I earned the ABR Designation; Accredited Buyers Representative. It was one of the best courses I’ve taken in this business. I have a fiduciary responsibility to my clients and because of that course, I understand exactly what that means. I am proud to carry the ABR Designation as a Pleasanton CA Realtor!
As a Bay Area native, I am extremely familiar with the east bay. Having lived in Fremont for 22 years, I made my home in Pleasanton in 1988 and have raised my children through the Pleasanton School System. In 2007 & 2008 I held a position with Women’s Council of Realtors (WCR), Southern Alameda County Chapter, board of directors as the Hospitality Chair. I enjoy and take great pride in my career as a professional in Pleasanton real estate business.
