Upon retiring from a career in sales and marketing and working at upscale restaurants, I committed myself to researching what career would anchor the next chapter of my life. Becoming a real estate broker presented me with the perfect opportunity to enjoy and pursue my greatest interests. Being a top-performing broker in this magical setting is an all-encompassing pursuit that allows me to be intimately involved with old friends and meet new ones. I love the land and the homes, the celebrations and events, investigating and investing in real estate and riding and caring for horses.

The family vineyard here in Sonoma Valley is also very much a part of my husband's and my life. All of the aspects of matching people to their dream, complex or simple, bring me great satisfaction. Doing that skillfully provides my clients with genuine satisfaction. I am proud to work for Frank Howard Allen, Wine Country Group(tm); this company's support and network (FHA has participated in over 50% of the high end transactions in the Sonoma Valley area), has provided me with even more tools and team members to better serve my clients when they're faced with the special needs and challenges that wine country properties and estates may present. With my technical capabilities and intimate knowledge of marketing, which includes the latest Internet technologies, I can insure you the buying and selling cycles will be quicker, smoother and more profitable for you.
