Seniors Real Estate Specialist
Relocation Specialist
First Time Home Buyers
Foreclosures and Short Sales
A Bay Area Native, I have lived in Cupertino and in Almaden Valley, a San Jose community for over two decades with my husband, an IBM employee, our four-legged family member, and our son, a teenager.
During that time, I have worked in outside sales in the bay area pharmaceutical, retail and theatre industries; jobs that have increased my negotiating and interpersonal skills and proven invaluable in assisting my clients with their needs as well as given me a competitive advantage in the bay area real estate market.
As a Bay Area Real Estate Agent, I know that real estate is first and foremost a relationship-oriented business. My ultimate goal, of course, is to provide you with service that exceeds your expectations with the minimum amount of stress. As a Seniors Real Estate Specialist, Certified Distressed Property Expert and Relocation Specialist, I can be a valuable seniors housing, distressed home and community resource for you. I would also be glad to supply you with Bay Area market updates, foreclosures and short sales, Free Property Alerts, as well as a Free Personalized Home Web Site
The training and experience I have accumulated during my years of sales in real estate, pharmaceuticals and other industries, enables me to help today's boomers as well as tomorrow's seniors with their individual needs, such as capital gain tax exclusions, active adult living, universal design, and retirement communites, as well as assist First Time Home Buyers. The most important purchase and sale of your life is your home, and it should be treated that way!
Whether you’ve lived in your home 2 years or 20 years, you know it’s not just a shelter, or even another investment. It’s the place where your dreams come to life. In flower gardens and family rooms. Backyard barbecues and home-cooked Sunday dinners. It’s the place we raise our children. The nest we nudge them out of, and welcome them back to again and again. And for some, it’s even our place of business.
But there comes a day when it’s time to move on. Time to reflect on old memories, and build new ones. Time to leave the past behind for a new future. It’s no wonder why selling a home is often emotionally charged and potentially overwhelming. I understand. That’s why I am dedicated to making your transition smooth and care free. Helping you make the process simpler. Helping you save money, and avoid costly pitfalls. If you’re planning a move soon, I’d like to share with you my Free consumers handbook, “How To Avoid 7 Costly Mistakes When Selling Your Home.” My booklet is free as a consumer service to my neighbors and friends, and there’s no obligation whatsoever

Testimonials...
"I met Lisa several months ago while searching for investment properties. More than ANY other agent (and we've met a bunch), Lisa picked up the ball, kept emailing dozens of potential properties, found time to open and tour many of them with me, placed offers, handled being outbid, kept up with the details and updates until finally....we signed papers today on a 5-plex in Monterey.
Lisa made it easy. She picked up on signals quickly. She kept my wife and I completely informed so that
we couldn't have any 'he said/she said' moment. Plus Lisa took care of all the many details so that we could trust that all was being well handled and we could relax. Very Nice! We couldn't be happier with Lisa's performance. Most Excellent all the way around."
-George and Barbara
"Lisa has been a client of mine for over a year. During that time, I have found that she is not only very dedicated to her profession as a Realtor, but also extremely active in volunteer and charity work and events. Her compassion gives her a sense of awareness of the details that make her not just a Realtor listing and selling property, but a problem solver and humanitarian bettering the lives of clients and the public. If you want someone who will not just transact real estate, but also look out for the well being of the client, Lisa is the Realtor for you."
-Skip Frenzel, Senior Market Specialist
“Lisa is a pleasure to work with; she brings a wealth of experience to her job. She is responsive, detail-oriented, and interested in finding what works for the client. Her good humor and creative outlook enhance her excellent work ethic and insight.”
Working with Lisa has been a genuine pleasure. She is a top-flight professional with extensive knowledge in every aspect of residential real estate. Her attention to detail and availability exceeded my expectations. Working with me as an out-of-state seller, she provided full turn-key service including contractors, stagers and other resources. I would highly recommend Lisa for her passion, energy and integrity.
-Meg W.
"You can count on Lisa to give at least 100% of herself. One of her strengths is that she takes a strong personal interest in the people with whom she works and she will zero in on their individual interests and concerns. She has excellent follow-through and will always stay in contact.”
-Ann Kuchins , Director, Actor, Steering Committee Member , Pear Avenue Theatre

-Wendy Lewis-Rakova, PhD, Senior Center Program Manager

made up for them. We appreciate all you've done for us. This is a wonderful program and we want to thank you."
-Jack and Nancy, speaking of the R.S.V.P program for seniors

"Lisa, I think that was the best Wednesday Forum I've seen in the six months I've been here. I've already received an email thank you note from one of the attendees. Thank you for your generosity."
-Ellen, Senior Center Activities Director
"Thank you so much for all your help and assistance."
-Linda
"I want to thank you for keeping us updated on the real estate market activity in our neighborhood. I find the information is extremely helpful trying to judge the appropriate time to put our house on the market and in making decisions about upgrades that would enhance the value of our home. Your kind heart for others, beautiful smile, and professional ability makes you top rate in our books. "
-Bob & Martha
" We are very thankful for finding you and having you represent us in the purchase of our first home. We started our process off with another agent and have a very unsatisfactory experience, but within the first week we knew we had mad a great choice in agency.
Your responsiveness to emails and calls is like nothing we'd ever witnessed before. You spend many nights and weekends with us looking at places and help us find the best house for our family. The house we did get is 100% because of you. Using your vast connections, you showed us a property before it was ever on the market.
Our family is forever thankful to you for all you've done for us. Your spirit, knowledge, determination and friendliness throughout the entire process made it a pleasure to work with you. Best of all, we don't consider you our real estate agent anymore, but instead our friend."
