About Me

---

I am a Santa Cruz REALTOR® with over eleven years of experience and a background as an attorney. I bring strategic negotiation skills, high level digital marketing expertise, and trusted, personalized guidance that delivers proven results for clients across Santa Cruz County. My clients count on me for clear advice, strong advocacy, and a steady, strategic approach that helps them move into the chapter they truly want with confidence.

I did not stumble into real estate by chance. After I remodeled my home, the top one percent REALTOR® who helped me sell it noticed my attention to detail, my energy, and the way I approached both the remodel and the transaction with strategy and precision. He encouraged me to enter the industry, and the transition made sense. Coming from a legal career where negotiation and advocacy were my daily work, real estate gave me a way to use those strengths in a more personal and meaningful way.

Today, I specialize in helping homeowners, especially those 55 plus, prepare, price, and sell their homes as they plan their next chapter. Many of my clients are downsizing, simplifying, or moving closer to family, and I understand the emotional and logistical weight these transitions carry.  I help sellers achieve strong results through thoughtful preparation, clear and data driven pricing, effective marketing, and disciplined negotiation. I bring a clear and analytical approach to preparation and pricing, helping sellers position their homes correctly from the start so they attract the right buyers and create momentum. I guide you through what to fix, what to skip, and how to maximize your return without overspending.

Where I truly distinguish myself is in marketing and negotiation. In addition to traditional marketing, I use advanced digital tools, including targeted video marketing and AI based strategies, to optimize listing descriptions and keywords so my clients’ homes appear more often when buyers search for specific features, locations, and lifestyle criteria. My negotiation strategy is designed to create competitive tension and protect sellers from leaving money on the table. Every listing receives a tailored plan that can include professional photography, video, staging guidance, and high level digital exposure.

For buyers, including those relocating to Santa Cruz County, I provide patient, straightforward education and full communication at every step. Clients consistently mention responsiveness, clarity, and follow through. I make sure they understand each stage of the process and every option available, rather than steering them toward a single easy path. I have helped many clients buy in a new community while juggling timing, inspections, and emotions. Many of them say they would not have gotten the house without me. I am known for crafting strong offers that stay within my clients’ comfort zones and for finding ways to win in multiple offer situations. 

I am proud to partner with COMPASS, a brokerage with the strongest online presence in the industry and cutting edge technology that gives sellers a meaningful advantage. Through COMPASS Collections, clients can track and compare homes in an organized, collaborative way. The COMPASS Concierge program offers interest free funds to prepare a property for sale, from staging to updates and renovations, with repayment due at closing rather than upfront. For clients who need flexibility between selling and buying, COMPASS bridge loan solutions can help smooth the transition and reduce stress.

Originally from Quebec, I have called California home for many years and live and work in Santa Cruz. I love the coastal lifestyle, from walking to my favorite beach and listening to the waves, to dancing at live concerts and enjoying the real day to day experience of life in Santa Cruz County.

Above all, my business is built on trust, strategy, and results. Whether you are buying, selling, or planning your next move a few years out, I approach your goals with the same level of care and commitment I would use for my own.
