More Than Just Real Estate …

  • I grew up in the German countryside. Think horseback riding, equestrian vaulting, and knitting sweaters (and warm socks!) on long bus rides to and from school.
  • Old European towns with cobblestone streets and cozy cafés ... exactly my kind of vibe.
  • I love time with my adult (how did that happen?!) kids.
  • Date nights usually mean hunting down the next great local brewery or eatery.
  • My morning cup of English Breakfast tea, yes, with milk. It's a daily ritual I never skip.
  • I love the outdoor summer music series around the Bay Area. Give me live music under the stars and I’m in my happy place (bonus points if there’s dancing).
  • Santa Cruz beach walks with our rescue pup are non-negotiable, and yes, we have to stop at Marianne’s Ice Cream. She knows they serve puppy scoops.
  • Hazelnut Gelato? Yes, please. Dark chocolate with hazelnuts? Always stocked. I have a theme, apparently.
  • Visits from family flying in from Germany always make my heart full.
  • I never say no to a good road trip, especially when there is no agenda.
  • Hosting backyard parties with friends, music, and themed food (Oktoberfest is a favorite).
  • Game nights. My latest favorite is Telestrations.
  • A well-made charcuterie board might be my love language.
  • Cake batter and real estate contracts? Both deserve full attention (and no cutting corners).
  • And people who know me say I only have one gear: hustle. Apparently, the idle setting missed the memo.

That’s it in a nutshell (hazelnut, of course). If you want to chat homes and hidden Silicon Valley neighborhood gems, I am just a click away.
