Growing up in South Africa, I learned that success requires more than mere desire; it demands hard work and dedication. This invaluable lesson was imparted to me by my parents, Barney and Louise. My father owned a builder’s emporium supplying all necessary materials for home construction, while my mother was a real estate agent in our hometown of Plettenberg Bay. Both were driven and successful, inspiring me to approach life with the same determination.
I gained early business experience by working at our family’s European bakery, Chez Michele, until I moved to Europe at twenty-one. There, I earned two culinary degrees and traveled extensively across the continent. My journey eventually led me to the United States. Although I initially planned to return to Europe, meeting my future husband, Jack, in San Luis Obispo altered my plans. We married in 1991 and settled in North San Luis Obispo County, making our home in Templeton, a beautiful wine region.
Following my mother’s example, I pursued a career in real estate. Her dedication to her clients and commitment to exceeding their expectations became the foundation of my professional philosophy. I strive to help people overcome their challenges and achieve their real estate goals with the same passion and integrity she demonstrated.
In addition to addressing professional challenges, I am mindful of the personal difficulties some families face. This is why I donate a portion of every commission to the Children’s Miracle Network and the Race for the Cure. I am committed to making a positive impact both professionally and personally.
I would be honored to lend my knowledge and experience to assist you with your real estate endeavors. I do not expect your business solely based on our relationship; instead, I invite you to interview me to determine if I am the right agent for you. The process of buying or selling real estate is significant, and the representation you receive from your agent can profoundly impact your results. It is crucial to choose the person best suited to meet your specific needs.
As a professional, I have worked diligently to provide the highest level of service, and I may be a good fit for your requirements. If you do not choose me, I will respect your decision without disappointment. However, if you do, I promise to exceed your expectations through dedicated effort.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about me. When you or someone you know requires a real estate agent, I hope you will consider giving me the opportunity to demonstrate my services and interview for the job. Whether you need assistance with residential properties, ranch estates, vineyards, wineries, or commercial real estate, I am here to meet all your needs.
