I am perhaps best known in the Bay area for my 20 plus years of dedicated service and leadership in the field of education. During these years, I have been entrusted with the care of thousands of children and have met and interacted, with many people of all ethnicities, sexual orientations, economic and religious backgrounds. Together we have worked on and solved many problems. We have found ways to meet the needs of families and children that in some cases went unaddressed for many years.

I have always thrived on solving problems. Buying or selling a property is exactly that, a problem to be solved. If you are a buyer I will help you find the right home in the right neighborhood with the right school district and at a price that fits your budget. After all you will be spending more time at this property than anywhere else. It should meet your needs in every possible way. If you are a first time buyer I want to show you that not only is it possible to purchase a home with little or no money down but it is essential if you ever want to move forward in creating prosperity for yourself.

If you are a seller, let’s get that house listed today. Allow me to help you by developing a dynamic marketing plan that includes targeting the demographic groups who are most likely to want to purchase your property. Let’s get is sold at the best price for the current market in the quickest amount of time.

In life there are major periods of transition that we go through. These might be: the birth of a baby, a marriage, a partnership, a new job, or the end of a relationship such as a death or divorce. Very often real estate plays an important role in allowing us to move forward in our lives. These are often stressful times, sometimes joyful, sometimes not. It is my desire to help in making these transitions a smooth as possible so that everyone involved can take that next important step on their life’s path.

My background is not only in education. While I hold degrees in education at the graduate level, I have also run my own businesses in Tucson and Prescott, AZ. I have built my own house. I play music (piano, banjo), love gardening, have seven children of my own, six of whom I raised as a single parent (just the laundry was overwhelming!), discovered golf six years ago and am addicted to it (I’d also like to be good at it), written a book that nobody reads (I’m fascinated with words), learned how to read horoscopes, am beginning to learn Feng-shui, enjoy skiing and river rafting, start my day with meditation and journaling, love baseball (at every level) and world cup soccer (used to have my referees license), and, of course, I absolutely love children. I grew up in New England but have also lived in Arizona and New York. I moved to the Bay area in 1985 and have lived in South Berkeley since 2001.
