Professional philosophy:
I am enthusiastic and deeply care about the well-being of my clients. I listen and ask the questions that guarantee that you are best served with the home you buy or sell. My intention is to make sure that your transaction process goes as smoothly and enjoyably as possible.

Marketing background:
Prior to my Real Estate career, I spent six years in marketing communications management at a semiconductor company where I was responsible for advertising, marketing and public relations. These skills have contributed to my strength in marketing and selling properties for my real estate clients. My extensive experience in project management, negotiating with vendors and distribution channels, and coordinating events, all contribute to my ability to focus on the many important details it takes to bring an escrow to close smoothly, and to provide efficient and effective communication with all parties involved.

Entrepreneurial experience:
For over 15 years, I owned and managed Hagen Graphics, a design and marketing company based in Los Gatos and specializing in both high-tech needs and new construction marketing for apartments and condominiums. Among my clients were Amdahl, Apple Computers, IBM, Claris, and BW Construction. My design background helps me work with sellers to stage their property with a minimum of expense and a maximum of creativity to enhance salability.

Personal real estate experience:
While I enjoy all types of clients, I have a special fondness for first-time buyers. I was happily busy with my life and might never have bought my own home, but for my realtor friend who encouraged me and held my hand throughout the process. Now I want everyone to have this chance at financial stability and opportunity.
I love what I do and would love to be of caring service to you and your family and friends.
