What feeds me? A beautiful flower... a gorgeous day... delicious food and wine... great friends... experiencing life on the Peninsula.... and sharing it! That’s what feeds me!

Prior to living in Carmel, I spent 13 years living abroad in India, Spain, and Taiwan with my husband Bob and our three children Greg, Rob and Aimee. It was during that time that I realized how important finding the right home was in creating a foundation for our children and us to thrive. That experience, along with my early love of architecture and design, is what led me to my 40-year real estate career. I’ve ranked in the top 3 percent of the industry nationwide year after year and have closed more than 1 billion dollars in personal career sales. There is nothing I enjoy more than educating buyers and sellers on all this area has to offer. It goes without saying that after closing so many transactions I treasure my repeat clients as well as the new ones.

My dream of making this area my family’s permanent home came true in 1993, when I opened what became the highly successful Alain Pinel Realtors in Carmel. In 2019 we merged our company with Carmel Realty Company.  In order to compete in an expanding world-wide market my team and I joined Compass in 2026 whose systems provide an incredible and unmatched direct reach to buyers and sellers around the world. But equally as important, we have the local expertise and knowledge that is critical for our treasured clients. Our standards of care and hands-on service are second to none.

When I’m not working, I enjoy traveling, spending time with my nine grandchildren and supporting the arts and various philanthropies in the local area.
