1. How long have you been a Member of SAR?
Since 2003 (I have worked in real estate for 18 years.)
2. What did you do before you were in real estate?
I worked in the area of women’s health. I managed several Planned Parenthood centers in Napa & Lake Counties.
3. What do you like best about being in real estate?
a. All the great people I get to work with
b. Regardless of your experience or education, there is always something new to learn.
4. How have you adjusted to changing market conditions in the past couple of years?
As a manager, I’ve focused on getting my agents trained in handling distressed properties and working with them to find effective and budget-friendly ways to build their businesses
5. What have been some of your favorite programs/committees/activities at SAR?
My favorite committees are, of course, Education and Grievance. Two committees I have not served on, but really appreciate, are YPC and CanTree. I admire both for the money they raise for our community and for the fun social events they provide us.
6. As a new SAR Board Member and former Education Committee Chair, why do you devote so much of your time to the Association?
Because it matters. I believe that to be an effective REALTOR® you need to stay current, which means access to good education and information. I also believe it’s very important that we strive to improve our own communities. This takes time, money, networking and being involved. It is up to each of us to do our share.
7. Technology has changed a lot in recent years – how have you kept up-to-date?
I am not exactly cutting-edge. I have no iPad or Smartphone yet. But, I do pay attention to new technology and try to stay reasonably current.
