Our Team

Born and raised throughout San Luis Obispo County, I have lived in more than 28 homes across the Central Coast, giving me an unmatched understanding of our communities, schools, lifestyle, and what moving truly looks and feels like.

I have been in real estate since 2013 and in professional sales since 2008, dedicating my life to perfecting th...

Having been raised in New York, I blend East Coast energy with a West Coast vibe. I know the ins and outs of the California real estate market and can help you find your place in the world. My interest in real estate is deep-rooted within my family.

This continued throughout my upbringing as my mother, a real estate attorney, closed numerous home sales, occasionally wit...

I began buying fixer-uppers in 1984 (interest rates were 14.5%). There seemed to be nothing more exciting than getting up at the crack of dawn, racing to get the newspaper, circling the little ads that might convey a good deal, map them out, then jump in the car. The search was on! With a friendly, enthusiastic, disciplined and hardworking personality, I was a perfect match for the challenge. Learning from my father’s negotiating and technical skills, along with countless books and seminars; success came fairly easy....

After many years working in various fields of business, I retired in 1996. After retiring, I found that I needed more purpose, so I was fortunate enough to find a position with AIM Relocation, specifically working with newly hired Amgen employees and their relocation efforts. After our decision to move to Palm Desert, I worked as a Realtor for Fred Sands (later known as Coldwell Banker), and Caro, Craig and Co. But, after about 9 years in the desert, we decided to move to the Central Coast where we had been vacationing...

“Joie de Vivre” isn’t just my tagline — it’s how I live! I’ve called California’s Central Coast home since 2004 and feel so lucky to live and work in such a beautiful place.
