Before becoming a real estate agent, I worked as a loan processor for a mortgage broker in the Bay Area. I got my real estate license in 2004, so I could broker my own loans. After we moved from the hills and hustle and bustle of the Bay Area to Sonoma County and had our two sons, I worked part-time at a winery and in the marketing world, which was invaluable experience when it came to learning how to position properties (and yes, working at a winery was as fun as it sounds!). In 2015, I went back to real estate and have been in that world ever since, learning the Sonoma County market inside out. I’m so lucky that my day job is basically getting to explore every inch of this vibrant community and helping others do the same.
