Service & expertise
guarantee outstanding results

As a businesswoman and multi-media artist, I bring an unusual skill set to real estate. While the art of the deal requires deft negotiation, I also add a sense of beauty to my transactions. It changes everything. Buyers and sellers alike benefit.

CORE ASSETS:

AN ARTIST’S EYE

Design in all its forms is my natural talent, so it’s no surprise that preparing a home for sale comes naturally. From attention to authentic and distinguishing architectural details to the final touches with fabric and flowers, renovation and staging are my forte. As a working artist and a teacher of Ikebana, I create warm and alluring environments.

A RESPONSIVE EAR

Working on my own video series about local artists and my personal blog about hot spots of the East Bay, I use social media and the latest iPhone technology daily. Whether you want to know about walking trails, flower vendors, or what’s new at the farmers markets, I’ll happily share all my resources, and provide access to vetted professionals who solve home maintenance challenges.

A SOPHISTICATED TOUCH

I speak French and Spanish and hold a teaching degree from the Sogetsu Ikenbana School in Tokyo, Japan, as well as a Masters in Art & Media Technology from Antioch University. After migrating from Colorado to California, I attended a pilgrimage in Golok, Tibet and continue to assist with the restoration of the Tibetan culture. France is my favorite get-away, second to Mexico.

My Montclair Japanese-style home is one I designed and had built. I share it with M.Jacques, my rescue poodle. From this lovely perch I help clients transform their living environments and maximize their sales potential. They leave all the details to me. My vendors are trusted and reliable; I provide organizers, packers, painters and everything else needed for a smooth transaction.

As an East Bay resident since 1982, I know the neighborhoods well. A member of the Hillside Garden Club, the Claremont Club, Berkeley Rotary, and The Rockridge News staff, I’ve got my ear to the ground. Clients count on my clarity, reliability, professionalism, and my generosity.
