From Master Sweets to Master Suites!

The biggest question I get so far when I tell people that I've migrated from making organic wedding and specialty cakes to...real estate...is why? And why now? And after twenty years in the food business, the last seven running Hannah's Edible Art, and an appearance on the Food Network to cap it off, I smile and tell them I've turned to my second enduring love of homes. "Home" has a lot of connotations and meaning. To me, the home represents warmth, a base, security - a healthy place to hang our proverbial hats. Except that what we are finding as we become more educated in matters of personal and environmental health, is that the way our homes are being built for the most part are not safe-havens for ourselves, our families, nor our global future.

That being said, I am not about doom and gloom, and neither is this site! I am proud to be a Realtor with Pacific Union Real Estate in the San Francisco Bay Area whose professionalism is held in the  highest regard in the business, and a Certified EcoBroker commited to finding healthier, more comfortable, more energy-efficient homes for my clients. And having moved into the green housing market by way of personal conviction and my core set of values, I have a knowledge of the green market so that I can postion and highlight your house on the selling side as well. I have carefully and thoughfully built a network of like-minded vendors who I feel have raised the bar with their ethics in bringing quality green services and products to their clients and customers.

The commitment to greening the real estate world is one I take on with pride and excitement, and one which I hope you'll feel compelled to explore along with me.
