With more than thirty years of living, working, and raising her family in San Francisco, Jennifer knows how to win for her clients. With a proven track record, she works one-on-one as a strategic adviser, negotiator and advocate on behalf of all her clients, whether they’re selling or buying.
Her experiences which encompass corporate negotiations, risk management, client services, environmental protection, staging design and philanthropy have honed a remarkable eye for both detail and potential, allowing her to provide her clients with the highest quality advice and service.
Along with a hard nose for numbers, the personal attention she puts into supporting her clients throughout the buying and selling process – whether they be first-time homebuyers, families with children, investors, or re-sizers – is what distinguishes her. For buyers, striking the perfect balance between finding their dream home and a worthwhile investment is what energizes her. For clients who are selling, her north star is the highest possible price and all the pieces that go into realizing that, no matter how small.
Jennifer holds a broker’s license and is recognized as a local member of Top Agent Network and nationally in Real Trends top agents. She is an active philanthropist whose work has included serving as a board member on the San Francisco Children’s Council, San Francisco Day School, the Children’s Creativity Museum, formerly Zeum, and currently on the EarthJustice Council. Showing she can go the distance, she also is a former marathon runner and cross-continental cyclist. When not seeing homes and working with clients, you might now find her playing tennis, watching baseball, feeding her passion for British mysteries, or in Tahoe with her family. Jennifer’s husband is a Bay Area native and practicing attorney whom she met at the University of Virginia before finding their home and raising their children here in San Francisco.

“I am writing to express my profound gratitude and to deliver an extremely enthusiastic endorsement of Jennifer’s performance as the listing agent for the sale of our home at 1045 Cole Street in San Francisco. Results are what matter, and in our sale the result was spectacular. The home sold in roughly ten days for a price about 10% over a wisely chosen and robust list price in an environment in which time was a major constraint. In fact the entire process from signing on with Jennifer to closing took about six weeks. However this extraordinary outcome, accomplished with both great speed and great precision, would not have been possible had Jennifer not displayed superior judgment and tenacious execution skills at every step of the process. As they say in my business, if you’re not working with Jennifer, you must hate money. More simply put, I want Jennifer in my foxhole when the (-) hits the fan.” -- Tim S.

“Jennifer understands the foundation of a strong relationship--trust and communication. I always felt heard, but at the same time, expert advice was front and center. My expectations were high because of who I am and the results exceeded even those high standards. We were delighted that Jennifer was willing to navigate the multiple hurdles presented by the Covid pandemic. She was extremely conscientious with respect to keeping us informed and our home protected. Jennifer's hard work was evident in the number of potential buyers she attracted and the contact she kept with them once they had seen the property. She remembered little details about the client's priorities and was able to zero in on them in subsequent conversations and viewings. We recommend her very highly.” -- Gail B.

“Jennifer is fabulous! My husband and I worked with Jennifer on five transactions, buying and selling in San Francisco. Jennifer was spot-on with her suggestions for a purchase price or a selling price. She carefully presents you (if you are the buyer) with an authentic letter, or prepares and positions a property for sale with utmost detail. Jennifer was able to win two properties for us in very competitive buying scenarios (10+ bids). Jennifer is always calm (even when I might not be) and was on top of all the details of a transaction, even while on vacation. With so many micro-neighborhoods in San Francisco and so many neighboring towns, it is important to have someone who knows the area, but more importantly, will take the time to do the research to land on the perfect buy or sell price. I highly recommend Jennifer! ” -- Beth D.

“For empty-nest downsizers, Jennifer was invaluable in selling our home for more than I thought possible and then parlaying that into a vacation home and a smaller place in the city. Three transactions in less than a year and never a glitch. I was always convinced that I was getting the best price possible for my house while Jennifer scoured the market for the best deal for our new homes. Couldn’t be more pleased. ” -- Buyer and Seller, 2010-2019
