What was the first thing you wrote on your to-do list for today?:
First thing on my list today was to do some client follow-up.
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?:
If you find something you enjoy or love doing for work it won’t feel like work.
What is your favorite part about working in real estate in this part of the world?:
We have some of the best weather and scenery in my opinion so to be able to help people achieve the dream of homeownership in our area is a blessing. So while I enjoy the whole process handing over the keys to my client’s new home is the best part.
Tell us about a recent challenge you came upon and how you conquered it.:
Right now between family obligations, work, and taking time for myself finding that balance right now is what I would consider my biggest challenge. It can be a tough thing to conquer but for me, I try to focus on being present and focused on what I am doing at the time whether that be family, work, or me time.
What role has mentorship played in your career?:
I grew up in the real estate business. My father was a real estate broker and I followed in his footsteps so he has always been my mentor. Due to having that great resource at my disposal passing that knowledge along and helping mentor others throughout my career has always been something I have enjoyed.
What’s your favorite home design feature that you wish more homes had?:
I have always enjoyed homes with a porte-cochere but you don’t see them too much around our area.
If you could have dinner with anyone, dead or alive, who would you choose and why?:
I lost 3 of my 4 grandparents before I was born or when I was very young so I never got to spend any time with them. I am a big family person so I would love to be able to spend some time with them to learn more about them.
Someone is coming to visit Sonoma/Napa/Mendocino/Lake/SF County. Where should they go first?:
If they are wine people then of course a nice wine tour since that is one of the main things we are known for. That would allow them to take in the beautiful scenery and weather we have to offer while enjoying some of the many wineries we have here.
What’s something you’re looking forward to in the upcoming year? (Wedding, vacation, new opportunity, etc.):
My daughter has started looking at colleges so this next year will be big for that process. While it is scary as well I am looking forward to that process and what opportunities that will bring for her.
