About Anna

"Navigating the purchase or sale of a home can be unpredictable and stressful. With Anna by your side, you’ll have a dedicated advocate who listens carefully, guides thoughtfully, and always prioritizes your best interests. Licensed as a real estate agent in 2012, Anna hit the ground running and never looked back. Whether it’s identifying a smart, cost-effective renovation to help sellers maximize their return or helping buyers see the potential in a home and plan value-adding improvements, Anna brings creativity, insight, and hands-on expertise to every deal. With a strong background in construction, real estate, and client relations, Anna is uniquely equipped to confidently and clearly partner with her clients to achieve their homeownership goals.

A Bay Area native, Anna's journey into real estate began after she graduated from UC Berkeley in 1993. She started her career in marketing at a San Francisco environmental consulting firm, but soon transitioned into a high-end residential construction company, where she served as operations manager for nearly a decade. In this role, Anna worked closely with the company owners on numerous real estate transactions, handling everything from financing and acquisitions to construction management, refinances, and property sales. 

After leaving the construction industry, Anna ran a successful doula business for almost 10 years, providing birth and postpartum care to over 250 families. Her reputation for staying calm under pressure, patience, offering compassionate service, and finding creative solutions translates seamlessly into her work as a real estate professional.

During these years, Anna also became an investor in both residential and commercial real estate, managing her own income properties and overseeing 12 complete home remodels or ground-up builds. With this experience in the market and her deep understanding of the buying, selling, and construction process, Anna provides a well-rounded perspective that benefits her clients in any real estate transaction.

Over the past 25+ years, Anna has called Oakland, Berkeley, and Albany home. She currently resides in Montclair, where she and her husband lovingly restored their mid-century house from the studs out to create a welcoming home base to raise their two children and a rotation of well-loved rescue dogs."


TESTIMONIALS

ā€We have bought two houses and sold one with Anna - she is hands down an amazing realtor.

First, she is flat out good at her craft. She manages the process well, solved every problem that comes her way, and comes up with countless creative ideas to connect with buyers and sellers. She is a joy to work with, and is especially good at making sure we didn’t get too ā€œhighā€ or ā€œlowā€ during a tumultuous sales process. She works 24/7 to get things done and really made it easy for us!

And it shows in the results! She sold our home for 50% over asking which is amazing even in today’s hot market. All of her effort to spearhead our renovation and creatively stage the home made a difference!

We highly recommend Anna.ā€

ā€Anna was amazing to work with. Her knowledge of both the area and local market were key in helping us find the perfect home. Additionally, Anna has a background in construction and when reviewing the disclosures for the homes we looked at and the one we ended up purchasing, this expertise was a massive help in us understanding if there were any major issues we needed to be aware of. Finally, Anna is so easy to work with. Her attention to detail, responsiveness and calm demeanor made the whole process really great.ā€

ā€Anna is just the very best. Every question we had, she had a robust, knowledgeable answer. She previewed most of the houses we knew about and didn't know about. And guided us through multiple offers. When it finally came to the house we ultimately purchased, she saw it first and coordinated our viewing it as quickly as possible. She knew us well, knew what we wanted and found us our dream house. If she hadn't encouraged us to get to the house quickly, I don't think we would've gotten it. In this market, you need an experienced professional who is truly interested in all of your needs, even if you yourself don't know them! Anna kind of looked into the future for us and made us realize all the variety of things we should be thinking about. We cannot recommend Anna enough, there really isn't a better person to have you buy or sell your home! She's unflappable, and that's a good thing! We miss her now that we don't have to see her on a weekly basis, ha! Thank you, Anna!ā€

ā€Anna was incredible to work with on the sale of our home in Oakland. She is a master of understanding the Bay Area real estate market. She was organized and quick to respond to questions or needs. Anna constantly went above and beyond to help us prepare our home for sale. She has an incredible crew of hard working and highly qualified painters, handymen etc at her finger tips. She made sure the visual aesthetic of our home was relevant to today's market and buyers from the paint colors and light fixtures to having an awesome staging team. Everyone that worked on our home did an incredible job! Since we were out of state during the sale she was great at keeping in touch both over email and phone, we never felt out of the loop or uninformed. During the open houses I got a ton of compliments on the state of our home and the friendly demeanor of our agent - Anna. Our house would not have sold so well without her guidance and hard work.ā€
