As your Real Estate Professional, my primary focus is providing you with excellent service. Over the past 16 years I have earned a reputation for superior client satisfaction as a San Diego Realtor. I have been awarded the 5 Star Professional Agent Award for Outstanding Customer Satisfaction by the San Diego Magazine for the past 10 years consecutively. This is meaningful to me because we are chosen by our clients through an independent poll of over 25, 000 home buyers in San Diego County representing the top 5% agents in San Diego County. I strive to communicate clearly with honesty & integrity. I am dedicated to providing each client with great negotiation skills, market knowledge, closing preparation and overall satisfaction. I just love happy clients!!!!

I am a former teacher with a BS in Elementary Education and an MS in Physical Education & Administration teaching high school, college and adult education. I am also a retired missionary having served with New Tribes Mission in La Republica de Panama from 1985-2002. Working with people has been a lifetime experience which I greatly enjoy. I look forward to each day with its challenges and adventures. I am passionate about the profession of Real Estate and the people it includes.

My husband, Charlie and I have only lived in San Diego for 16 years, but we know it is home for us. We spend most of our free time with our three children and 8 grandchildren. As former Physical Education teachers we enjoy teaching the grandkids lifetime activities; riding bikes, boogie boarding, swimming, tennis, softball; you get the idea.

Helping family, friends and clients to enjoy the California outdoor lifestyle through their home sales and home purchases brings me great satisfaction. I look forward to helping you with your needs.
