My Story - From Educator to REALTOR®

My journey to becoming a Rio Vista real estate agent began in the classroom, where I spent many fulfilling years teaching the children of this community I’m proud to call home.

Those years in education allowed me to build deep, lasting relationships throughout Rio Vista and the surrounding Delta area. Every connection I made was grounded in trust, integrity, and genuine care for our community—values that now guide my real estate practice.

I’ve always been drawn to the visual elements that make a house special: interior design, landscaping, and architecture. There’s something magical about seeing these pieces come together in a property that’s perfectly suited for the right family.

What started as part-time work in real estate quickly became my calling. The satisfaction I felt helping families find their dream homes led me to pursue this career full-time with the exceptional McGahey Real Estate. As a Rio Vista realtor, I get to do what I love most—helping people achieve homeownership and find that special place where they’ll create lasting memories.

Real estate runs in my family, so I grew up understanding how important it is to put clients first. Every decision I make and every action I take centers on one thing: doing what’s absolutely best for the families I serve.

Qualities You Can Count On

Feeling comfortable and having absolute trust in your REALTOR® is critical. Below are a number of important qualities about myself.

Honesty and Integrity
Trust is everything in real estate. When you're making one of life's biggest decisions, you need to know your agent has your back completely. I've built my reputation on being straightforward, honest, and always putting my clients' interests first. Every recommendation I make and every decision we face together is guided by what's truly best for you—not what's easiest for me.
Trained Expert
My extensive training means you get professional expertise at every step of your transaction. From the initial market analysis through negotiations, inspections, appraisals, and closing, I know how to navigate each phase smoothly. I stay current on market trends, legal requirements, and industry best practices so you can feel confident that nothing falls through the cracks.
Problem Solver
Every property has potential, and I love finding creative solutions to showcase that potential. Whether it's staging advice, minor improvements, or professional photography including aerial drone shots, I'll help your home stand out in the market. If challenges arise during the process, I tackle them head-on with innovative approaches that keep your transaction moving forward.
Hustle and Tenacity
Real estate doesn't happen on a 9-to-5 schedule, and neither do I. When you need me, I'm available—whether it's evenings, weekends, or holidays. I work tirelessly to achieve your goals, treating your transaction with the same urgency and care I'd want for my own family. Your success is my success, and I won't rest until we get there.
Real Estate and Architecture
My passion for homes goes beyond just buying and selling—I genuinely love architecture, design, and how spaces come together. Living in my own 1960s ranch-style home in Rio Vista has deepened my appreciation for both classic charm and modern functionality. This enthusiasm helps me see the unique potential in every property and match families with homes they'll truly love.
Attention to Detail
California real estate transactions are complex, with countless details that can make or break a deal. My meticulous approach ensures nothing gets overlooked—from contract terms and contingency deadlines to inspection issues and closing requirements. I take pride in catching potential problems early and handling every aspect of your transaction with precision and care.
Personality
I'm naturally a people person who genuinely loves connecting with others and understanding what makes them happy. Building strong relationships is at the heart of everything I do. I approach every client interaction as the beginning of a partnership built on trust, communication, and shared goals. You'll quickly sense my enthusiasm for helping you succeed, and I'm confident that working together will feel both professional and genuinely enjoyable.
Knowledge is Power
Growing up in the Delta and raising my family here has given me invaluable insight into our local market that no app or website can replace. My husband, son, daughter, and I all call Rio Vista home, just like my parents and grandparents did before us in Rio Vista and Isleton. This deep-rooted connection means I understand neighborhood nuances, school districts, commute patterns, and community dynamics that directly impact property values and your quality of life.
Skilled Negotiator
Every real estate transaction involves negotiation, and having an experienced advocate in your corner can save you thousands of dollars. Whether you're buying or selling, I use proven strategies to protect your interests while maintaining positive relationships with all parties involved. My approach combines market knowledge with diplomatic communication skills to achieve win-win outcomes. From initial offers through inspection negotiations and closing terms, I'll fight for the best possible deal while keeping your transaction on track.
