[Music] Um so helpful expertise uh means for me uh to make sure that I'm bringing forward all the information appropriate to uh my clients for them to make a very uh educated decision on what their uh goals are whether um to sell a house now or later whatever um and bringing forth uh a team of people that can help service that need. Yeah. So uh I got into the industry in 1988. Um I was in another sales position but felt that real estate was really my calling. My mother uh had been a longtime Berkeley realtor and my father had been a longtime real estate man and various other issues. Uh so it was kind of uh a natural as uh I started a family at age 30. Right. So what they need to know about me is that I work at real estate almost every day. Um uh this is a full-time job for me. And what they need to know about my team is all the subs that I can bring to help them get the results that they want and the time they want. And won't that be great? Right. So, what you get uh when you hire me is uh 34 years of full-time experience in the real estate market here here in the Berkeley area. uh I've had a wealth of education to to make sure that my knowledge is up to speed and uh and and also I come from representing you uh uh from a fiduciary position where I really think it's my job to make sure that uh your needs are taken care of not necessarily my personal goals as a real estate agent. And also Coldwell Banker is amazing because they're not only international, but with 74 offices in Northern California, the resources are amazing for me to help you get what you want in the time you want. Well, it'll it'll be both. Um uh I uh I encourage in the right situation using a u a transformation team. That means preparing the property to make it the highest and best it can be for what it is. Uh I do that not only with uh staging but also uh painters and um flooring people etc etc. I use nurture source designs as uh one of my team members and they do such a phenomenal job. Uh basically, uh our most recent success, um I listed a house for uh 1,895,000 and when Nurture Source was done with it, I was on the market for less than a week and got a preemptive offer for 2.7 million. And that was really not only the market, but uh uh Nurture Source Designs as uh helping me get that house right.
