About the Area

The culturally diverse town of San Rafael is the oldest city in Marin, and is the county seat. With parklands and open space accounting for nearly 30 percent of the city's land, there is a thriving natural environment to enjoy outdoor recreation. San Rafael is approximately 22 square miles, the second largest city in Marin after Novato. It is an ideal area for biking, jogging, and hiking in the beautiful hills surrounding the community. Windsurfing, sailing, and boating are also popular activities near San Rafael with multiple marinas and boat launches for easy access to the San Francisco Bay.

San Rafael’s deep-rooted history in Marin County can still be felt today. Many of the turn-of-the-century buildings have been restored and are beautiful remnants of times past. These buildings include the Marin History Museum, the Falkirk Cultural Center, and the 106-year-old Dominican University. The Marin Civic Center, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, is an architectural treasure and a nationally designated historical landmark. San Rafael offers a temperate, Mediterranean climate, lively business district, excellent school system and variety of neighborhoods.

As a Marin native and Real Estate consultant, I have a rare combination of skills, knowledge, and insights that lead to highly successful transactions and satisfied clients in this special part of the Bay Area. I view my relationships as a partnership... providing counseling and serving as my clients’ advocate as we work together to find just the right property or buyer. I provide professional expertise and honest, intelligent service to my clients. Today’s rapidly changing market requires a full-time professional Realtor, and I have the freedom to work one-on-one with my clients, actively listening to their needs and keeping them abreast of the ever-changing Marin real estate market.

Although many people have moved to Marin over the past few decades, those of us who have lived here our whole life is relatively hard to find. Living here has given me an in-depth understanding of the unique local culture and personality of many of Marin’s favorite communities, such as Mill Valley, San Rafael, and Corte Madera. I know the hidden neighborhoods prized by locals and can find one that matches up perfectly with your needs. As a specialist in residential properties throughout Marin County, I provide a distinct advantage in my ability to quickly locate the most appealing properties.

As a full-time experienced Realtor/Broker for more than twenty years, I’m privileged to be associated with a premier brand, Golden Gate Sotheby’s International Realty. Being a Top Producer and owning my own brokerage has prepared me for the ever-changing real estate market. I am dedicated to my profession. I look forward to the opportunity of working with you as your real estate consultant while earning a long and lasting relationship.


BACKGROUND

Prior to joining Golden Gate Sotheby’s International Realty, I was a broker associate with Decker Bullock SIR, McGuire Real Estate, Vision Real Estate, and my own company Platinum Real Estate. I spent more than 20 years in management and operations with Blank Noir women’s clothing and Silbermann’s Ice Cream, where I developed valuable experience in time management, negotiations, finance, strategy, and customer relations... skills which have helped me successfully serve my clients in real estate. I am a graduate of San Francisco State University with a BS in Business Administration, and Finance, as well as the College of Marin and Terra Linda High School in San Rafael.
