"Choosing Lisa to serve as our real estate agent was the best choice my husband and I could have made as we looked for someone to represent us in the sale of our house. Firstly, Lisa is extremely professional, passionate about her work, confident and her attention to detail is remarkable. She dots every “I” and crosses every “T” all while demonstrating her excellent listening skills and good sense of humor. Her timely responses to any email or phone call were met with much happiness as we felt like we were her only clients. We found her to be easy to work with and enthusiastic about our objectives. Secondly, with her decades-long experience in the field, Lisa has a wealth of information that is applicable to properties large and small. She follows the market closely and does deep market analysis designed to appropriately price homes in this competitive market. Thirdly, she made selling our house feel seem-less. She had excellent feedback for updating and staging the house. She set the asking price competitively and she was a fabulous negotiator who netted us hundreds of thousands of dollars above asking price! She met all our expectations and we are quite pleased to call her, not only our incredible real estate agent but our friend, too." ~ Debbie T.

"Lisa is honest, highly knowledgeable and experienced, thorough and committed to the highest level of service.
I engaged Lisa to sell my Danville townhome and assist me in the purchase of a single family home. She provided excellent advice on the timing of the listing and recommended a stager who beautifully transformed my home. Lisa always responded quickly to my questions, and she took the time to explain things thoroughly.
Before searching for a new home, Lisa listened carefully to my requirements and preferences and completely respected that I am cautious. When the market skyrocketed and the only winning offers were non-contingent, Lisa never pressured me to fall into the trap of waiving my right to inspection. She recommended excellent inspectors who gave me a good sense of the condition of the home that I would ultimately purchase. Ultimately, I bought a home that I will enjoy for years to come.
Lisa is extremely detail oriented and organized and knows the East Bay market really well. She's strongly committed to serving her clients with a high level of care and expertise.

"We have worked with many Realtors over the years, but it was by pure serendipity that we met you! You have shown us a real estate experience like no other. When we couldn't find the perfect house, you found one for us that wasn't even on the market. Your patience and expertise were unbelievable. Thank you for helping us find our dream home!" ~ Phyllis G.

★★★★★
"Lisa helped us buy and sell. She was a life-saver. She got over asking price on the sale of our home, and we were the successful buyer on our dream house even though we weren’t the highest bidder. I have bought and sold across the country and Lisa made this one the best." ~ Debbi G.

★★★★★
"Being a first time homeowner can cause overwhelming feelings of stress; however, Lisa’s professionalism, patience, and immense experience helped guide us in finding our perfect home! Lisa was always available to answer questions, and spend the extra time to help perfect our bid. She has a detailed eye for real estate, and was a wealth of knowledge while walking through potential homes. She knows the East Bay market, and was quick to respond to offers and counteroffers. Even once our bid was accepted, she was available and helpful during the entire closing process. We couldn’t be happier in choosing Lisa as our real estate agent!" ~ Nebojsa M.

★★★★★
"Lisa is a very knowledgeable, highly skilled professional who guided us from initial consultation through the sale of our home for above asking price. Lisa listened carefully to our questions, explained every step of the process in a clear, unhurried manner; and helped us through key decision points with clear, well-balanced advice.
Lisa operates with a high degree of integrity and diligence, and is a very pleasant, positive person to work with. We highly recommend Lisa as an exceptionally qualified real estate professional.
" ~ John S. and Sara K.

About Lisa

You deserve to work with a REALTOR® who is dedicated to providing you with exceptional, personalized service, resulting in a smooth & successful experience, regardless of your price point or the housing market.  Are you concerned about whether now is the right time to buy or sell? My job is to listen to your needs and provide you with the information that will enable you to make the best decisions for you.   When you decide that the time is right, my goal is to guide you on your journey, anticipate concerns before they become problems, and add some fun to the process…all while achieving or exceeding your financial goals!

I specialize in residential real estate sales throughout the Diablo Valley, Lamorinda, and Tri-Valley communities. With 32 years of experience as a full-time REALTOR®, I am prepared to help you make your next move, your best ever! My business style is consultative and never pushy because to me, business is all about the relationships.  Most of my business comes from repeat clients and their family & friends, because they know that I genuinely care about them and they know that they can count on excellence, in every transaction.  

I also strive to build & maintain strong relationships within the professional real estate community, which benefits my clients.  Some of these benefits include networking to get advance information about listings that are coming soon and being a REALTOR® who other REALTORS® wish to work with (this can be critical in a multiple-offer scenario for a buyer, or when representing a seller in a slower market).  I also maintain relationships with a top-notch team of experts to help you (lenders, escrow, title, inspectors, etc.). If you’re considering buying or selling in another area - please let me know.  I’ve got an excellent network of REALTORS® across the country and I’m happy to help you find the one that is best suited to help you.

Sellers benefit from my personal management of every detail, expert marketing & presentation of properties, and strong contract negotiation skills, resulting in the highest possible price for my listings.  Buyers appreciate my patience and tireless efforts to find them the right home and negotiate the best terms on their behalf, even in competitive multiple offer market conditions.

I graduated from UC Davis, in 1990, and began my career as a REALTOR® in 1991. I have a strong history of working with a diverse clientèle. My portfolio of homes sold includes numerous multi-million dollar estates, to the smallest of condos. I also have experience with acreage and vacant land/lot sales, at different stages of development. Regardless of the property value, every client can always expect the same respect and first class service, in every transaction.

I am a native of the East San Francisco Bay Area and I’m a longtime Danville resident.  I’ve also spent many years selling homes in the coastal areas of Orange County. I returned to the Bay Area in 2005, to be closer to family and friends. I believe that supporting our local community is one of the most important roles of being a REALTOR®…and a great citizen! I’ve enjoyed leading a girl scout troop, volunteering with the local 4-H Club and helping with the high school Instrumental Music programs, where my two children have been involved. I’m passionate about nature and love spending time exploring the many local trails that our area has to offer.

Throughout the years, I have been the recipient of numerous sales awards. I take the most pride in receiving the “5 Star Professional” award, since it is based on quality of service (as rated by past clients), rather than on sales volume.  My past clients know that I do what it takes to reduce their stress, negotiate strongly on their behalf, and provide clear communication throughout the entire transaction.  I take pride in my work ethic, attention to detail, creative solutions and loyalty to my clients.  

Call me today to find out how I can help you achieve your real estate goals and to experience service that comes from the heart.
