I finally did it!  I got my real estate license, and I am ready to go!  After 30+ years in accounting, finance, and law, I am ready to merge my lifelong passions for helping people and for real estate.

I am a Bay Area native and am thrilled to work in real estate in the area I live and love – Santa Clara Valley.  I went to elementary and high school in West San Jose, and college at UC Berkeley.  Go Bears!  After law school at the University of Arizona, I came right back to live and work in San Jose, buying my first condo while still single.  I ultimately married, purchased a fixer in Willow Glen, tore it down, built a new house, and have been there ever since, all while raising three children.  I would love to help you sell or find your next house.

I may be new to the profession of real estate, but I have over three decades of personal real estate experience, including building a house from the ground up.  I come to the real estate business with deep experience in high stakes negotiation.  For years I represented the IRS, prosecuting high wealth individuals and multinational corporations in tax law disputes.  I have spent the last 14 years on the other side, helping clients navigate their tax battles with the IRS.  I am ready to use my negotiation skills to help you sell or buy your house.

I choose to partner with Coldwell Banker Realty because I want to work with a company that has a deep history of helping buyers and sellers with integrity.  With the support and extensive suite of resources and tools of Coldwell Banker, I can take you through all the steps of the selling and/or buying process.  I know it is a significant life event for you and I am here to help and to take on some of the worries for you.  You will find that I am responsive, creative, and loyal in my representation.  I will be your resource for life.

I used to negotiate with the IRS, now I negotiate for you.
