As a French native raised in several countries, a seasoned world traveler and a long-term resident in the United States and the Bay Area, I demonstrate an unparalleled sophistication, great sensitivity and international flair that enables me to fully appreciate the different needs of my clients. My clients rely on my integrity, great sense of style, understated elegance, and keen eye for detail and design.

I received a Bachelor’s Degree from the Université de Provence in Aix-en-Provence and a Master’s Degree from Columbia University in New york. I also studied Business Administration in the MBA program at Fordham University in New york. I moved to San Francisco in 1990 and Marin County in 1996.

My professional career encompasses over twenty years of combined business and real estate experience, including:

• loan Syndications and Private Placements at Banque Paribas in New york

• vice President and Human Resources Manager at Banque Nationale de Paris in San Francisco

• President of the Board of Directors of the lycée Français laPérouse (re-elected five years in a row)

• Sales associate at top firms in Marin County

Throughout my career I have earned numerous awards through my high caliber performance, dedication to perfection and strong work ethic, including the much respected:

• “Ordre National du Mérite” awarded by French President Jacques Chirac

• Rising Star of the year in Real Estate

• Realtor of the year for Women’s Council of Realtors’ Marin Chapter

• Client Service Award and President’s Silver Award of Distinction in Real Estate

continued


My association with Decker Bullock Sotheby’s International Realty allows me to provide a high-end luxury experience to all my clients at every single price point and powerful connections with the premier residential company locally and globally.

I attract clients who demand excellence - in marketing, negotiations, market knowledge - and a genuine concern for their needs. I feel privileged to be of service to sellers and buyers alike at very important stages of their lives - whether they are newlywed, starting a family, relocating, retiring, divorcing or mourning a loved one - because I view my job as much more than facilitating the sale or purchase of a property, but rather as helping them find their new sanctuary or part with the home where they have raised their children and created so many memories.

My commitment to each and every one of my clients is to provide an uncompromising, result-oriented level of service with total confidentiality and to be their advocate every step of the way. My non-confrontational and win-win approach to conducting business and negotiating consistently yields excellent results for my clients and have earned me a stellar reputation among my peers. My business is built almost entirely on referrals from satisfied past clients and other agents.

I combine a strong affinity for modern online marketing and social media opportunities with an old-school work ethic. I have an extensive following of clients and contacts on Facebook (www.Facebook.com/YourPieceofMarin). I artfully employ blogging on my website (www.YourPieceofMarin.com) to promote my listings and provide my clients with information about the lifestyle in Marin and our unique communities.

While real estate is a huge part of my life, I am also passionate about my life in Marin with my husband where I enjoy gourmet cooking, home decorating and staging, gardening, photography and yoga.

Ultimately, I know the key to my success is more than extraordinary service and well-honed negotiating skills: it’s a combination of how much I care about my clients and my passion for real estate, Marin County and its unmatched lifestyle!
