“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” ~ Michael Jordan
Want to buy a house? Want to sell your house and upgrade to your dream home? Let’s Do it. Are you interested in buying an investment property? You won’t know what’s possible, unless you take a shot! That’s what I’m here for, to help you learn what’s possible and realize your dreams.
I use this sports analogy because SPORTS has been my entire life before pivoting into a career in Real Estate. Growing up the daughter of coaches, I went on to enjoy a great college basketball career before spending the past two decades working as a host and reporter in sports broadcasting. This took me all over the country covering Super Bowls, All Star games and World Championships, including the Golden State Warriors’ three NBA Titles, which is how I ended up in San Francisco, working at NBC Sports Bay Area covering all of our favorite Bay Area teams.
But after years of moving around chasing sports jobs, I finally landed in The City that I call home. From the moment I bought a 1906 era Condominium in North Beach, I quickly fell in love with San Francisco and its amazing history, neighborhoods and architecture. I'm obsessed with the beauty of the Bay Area and it’s countless Landmarks, Victorian and Edwardian style homes!
I’ve taken the work ethic, toughness and competitive fire I developed in sports, along with the communication skills and ability to talk and connect with people from broadcasting and rolled it into an exciting real estate career with Compass, in the brand new Nob Hill office at 1177 California.
If you're a buyer, winning the right property for you is the objective. If you're a seller, helping you enhance the value of your property to get top dollar for it, is the goal. I know what it takes to be successful in any arena, which is why I have also aligned myself with a collaboration of experienced agents who are at the top of their game.
As Steph Curry once said, “Success is not an accident, success is actually a choice.”
