I grew up on the Monterey Bay.  My father started a real estate company here and built a thriving business in the Santa Cruz area.  I received my Bachelors of Science degree and my California Teaching credential from San Jose State University.  I then taught school for several years at Mission Hill Junior High in Santa Cruz.  Later, I earned a degree in Radiologic Technologies and started working at Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital.  I worked for 18 years as an Interventional Technologist in the area of mammography.

 

I met my husband while he was an active duty officer at Ft. Ord.  We married and moved to the suburbs of Washington D. C. where we lived for 15 years.  Our last move took us to Williamsburg, Virginia; a quaint and lovely area full of history and beauty.  We lived there for 5 years.  I began my real estate career in Williamsburg helping my clients throughout Virginia's "Tidewater" region.  I am lucky that my husband - who was originally from Michigan, loved the Monterey Bay area as much as me.  When the opportunity arose to move back here, we jumped at the chance.  He is a Colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve and the senior civilian attorney at the Presidio of Monterey.

 

I'm back "home" again, living in Pebble Beach and glad to be near family.  I love everything about our area; the artichoke and strawberry fields, the breathtaking sunrises over the mountains, and stunning sunsets over the Pacific.  It truly is a spectacular place to live.

 

As a Realtor at John Saar Properties I am so fortunate to be able to live my passion.  I know the Monterey Peninsula area and am passionate about helping people.  I've been helping people my whole life and I'll help you find just that right home, property, or investment.  There are so many parallels between teaching, patient care and real estate.  You'll find from me extraordinary service and a commitment to extraordinary care.

 

I certainly welcome the opportunity to serve you in either buying or selling a home or property.  Quite frankly, I'd be privileged to help.  Or, if you're not buying or selling a property feel free to contact me as I may be a useful resource for you.
