Buying and selling real estate requires knowledge of the local market place, excellent customer service, good communication skills, business expertise, and tenacity.  With me as you agent you will have a person who combines business experience, local knowledge, and people skills to provide you with the type of real estate experience you deserve

Knowledge of the Local Market

I have lived in Malibu for over 10 years and have lived in five different neighborhoods within that time period.  I am a member of the Malibu Association of Realtors, California Association of Realtors, National Association of Realtors, Multiple Listing Service, and Malibu Chamber of Commerce. I sit on the boards for the Point Dume Community Association and the Juan Cabrillo Elementary School PTA, and I continue to stay connected with the community socially by coaching AYSO soccer and politically by my attendance at city council meetings.  I really enjoy being connected to the community in which I live and work.

Excellent Customer Service and Communication Skills

As a real estate agent, just as in business consulting, your job is client service.  I have a proven track record of timely response to my clients' needs.  I know how to ask the pertinent questions of my clients to determine their needs and wants and to deliver upon these needs.  I understand that buying or selling a home is a very personal experience and I work hard to communicate effectively so that my client's needs are met.

Strong Business Skills

My MBA and business consulting experience refined my organization, planning, marketing and financial skills.  Buying or selling a home should be approached like a marketing campaign for a new product, "your home".  It takes an effective assessment of the current market, a plan for marketing the product, "your home", organizational skills to implement the marketing plan, project management skills to follow through with potential clients and navigate through the escrow process, and negotiation skills to obtain the best price to secure a purchase agreement. My abilities to define your needs and act upon them is where my Fortune 500 business background shines though and differentiates me from others.

Tenacity

Once I take on a project I give it 110%.  I am constantly looking for ways to solve problems and sell ideas to and for others.  I am diligent and will stick with a project until it's complete.  I believe that it's only when one works hard will they receive the success deserved.
