I grew up in Fresno. Relaxed in its calm breezes, listened with my dad to the crack of the bat at little league baseball games when I was a kid and now take my son to do the same at minor league games. I broadened my mind at its schools (I went to high school right here at San Joaquin Memorial, and to college at Fresno State!) I love that if I drive for two hours in one direction, I can be in the mountains. For two hours in another, luxuriating on a California beach. I can enjoy the cosmopolitan atmosphere of San Francisco or Los Angeles, but still be able to come home to relaxation, calm, and quiet.

I love where I live, and I also love what I do. I'm lucky to be able to work in a profession in which I get to build relationships; one that has me meeting new people each and every day and helping them to build new lives in my beloved city. I'm lucky enough to work in a profession in which I can marry cutting-edge technologies and marketing techniques to good, old-fashioned, nose-to-the-grindstone work. I am lucky enough to work in a profession that allows me to work as an advocate for my clients; to use every tool at my disposal to get a job done well for them, and with as little stress and expense as possible.

I love my city. I love my job. One inspires my excellence for the other.

Welcome to the third episode of Off the Cuff, where I do a live video chat with people across the country who are killing it in their fields. The really fun part? My guests don’t KNOW they’re going to be guests! I pull in folks who are watching and ask them random questions about their careers, their hometowns, and their lives. It’s all about getting to know people in an unstructured, informal way.

In this episode, I talk to Geoff Zahler, a real estate agent from Las Vegas. We talk Vegas flash floods, daily shrimp consumption in a city of buffets (you’ll NEVER guess how much shrimp is eaten there), and so much more.

Take a look at this live video and get to know both Geoff and the city of Las Vegas. I’ve included his stats and contact info below. And make sure to friend me on Facebook so you can participate in upcoming live videos!

Welcome to the very first episode of Off the Cuff, where I do a live video chat with people who are killing it in their fields. 

In this inaugural episode, I talk to three outstanding real estate agents: Eric Zutler of Virginia, Danielle DiPrenda Roberts from Florida, and Michael Frank from the Maryland area.

Since this is my first foray into live video, I’m still kind of playing around with format, etc. But eventually I’d love to do a couple of these a week! I think talking with folks across the country provides real value to those of us looking for inspiration and motivation in our chosen industry, whatever that may be. It gives us great insight into what’s happening in other fields and markets. I really want to talk about fun things, too, like what the best beer in the area is, what people do for fun, that kind of thing. It’s so eye-opening! (Like, is Virginia really known for streaking??)

Take a look at this first live video and get to know Eric, Danielle, and Michael. I’ve included their stats and contact info below.

Office: (559) 288-3526

Grew up in: Hanford

Attended school at: Hanford High, Fresno State, San Joaquin College of Law

Family: Wife June, son Tyler

What I love about real estate: Coming from another profession that focused primarily on paperwork, I am grateful that real estate allows me the opportunity to change my mindset and focus on personal relationships with my clients to help them achieve their individual goals.

Favorite house sold: A friend contacted me and asked me to list his home. I was still relatively new to real estate at the time, but he entrusted me with selling his home, which needed to be sold in order for he and his family to complete construction on their dream home. We were able to get it sold quickly (and at full asking price), and I was able to deliver the news on the job site of his new home being constructed. To this day, any time we see each other he and his family thank me for helping to make their dream a reality.

What FresYes means to me: Focusing on the positive things in our community (i.e. schools, teams, parks, businesses, etc.)

Favorite Fresno landmark: Chukchansi Park (Grizzly Stadium)

Favorite place to get a drink in the Fresno area: Reno’s Bar (Kerman)

Favorite thing to do on the weekend: Work outside (i.e. play in the dirt)

Favorite non-Fresno destination: The beach (central coast)

Cake or pie: Cake

More about me: The switch to real estate over the past few years has been a huge blessing for me and my family. The home buying process can be an extremely confusing one, especially for first-time home buyers, and I am fortunate that my educational background and experience allow me to keep my clients informed and involved through every step of their transaction.

Whether you are looking to buy, sell, invest, or even if you just have a question about the process, please feel free to call, text or email me and let’s make your goals a reality.

Grew up in: San Jose born and raised!

Attended school at: Valley Christian, Westmont College, Santa Clara University.

Family: My husband Jay, the smartest and funniest person I know! Jackson (16), Quinn (14)
Garrison (11), and Avery (9) (finally got the girl), and 6-month-old puppy Reily, because after nine years of the kids asking, we caved.

What I love about real estate: I love that each day it is something new. New challenges to solve and people to help!

Favorite house sold: I can’t pick just one, they all have a story! I would say the rental that I got to clean with bleach and use Magic Erasers, because bleach is my favorite smell. ????

What FresYes means to me: I love to always find a way to say YES to my clients (I love a good challenge). FresYes to me means opportunity. An opportunity serve, and help my clients get where they need to be.

Favorite Fresno landmark: I really enjoy the rolling hills to the mountains, a fantastic view on a clear day!

Favorite place to get a drink in Fresno area: Coffee at Kuppa Joy, and any patio in the fall or spring.

Favorite thing to do on the weekend: Relax with family, take care of my clients, cook!

Favorite non-Fresno destination: Santa Barbara

Cake or pie: French macaroons

More about me: I am a self-professed real estate “junkie”; I love analyzing how homes are designed, how they can function better, how they can be optimally marketed, and how they can look their very best to sell. I also love identifying homes can be restored and cutting through the clutter to discover homes of real and lasting value.

As someone who has bought and restored several homes with my husband, I know how to spot a home that has great potential and what it will take to make it your dream house. I am a bearer for detail, but equally adept at patiently and thoroughly walking though all levels of the real estate transaction with you, whether you are interested in buying or selling. The neighborhoods of Fresno and Clovis each have a distinct culture, character, and identity of their own. It would be my pleasure to help you find which one suits you best.
