I was born and raised in Shaver Lake and have enjoyed the mountains all of my life. I was introduced to the real estate business in the 1960’s by my grandfather who owned and operated Ivie’s Market and Ivie Realty in Shaver and later became the area Judge. I tagged along as he did all of the appraisals for Guarantee Savings and other banks and once in awhile when he was showing property. My grandmother was the Post Master after taking over for Velma Harshman in the 50’s. I obtained my sales license in 1970 while attending Cal Poly SLO and worked at Morro Bay Realty until I finished at Cal Poly and obtained my broker’s license in 1973. I returned to Shaver and purchased Shaver Lake Realty from Amos Wood as he migrated to Morro Bay to retire. In 1975 I took on a partner who owned the Century 21 J & J Real Estate franchises in Fresno. We purchased a C-21 franchise for Shaver. I operated the Shaver office as the managing broker and eventually opened a second office in Auberry. Through all of the economic fluctuations to follow I always kept my license active and my finger on the pulse of the market. I still love to work with the people and the property in the mountains and appreciate the office support at Pinnacle and the professionalism of the staff. They’re the best, which is why I joined them. Things have changed immensely since I started in the business, but it has always been a “people business” and always will be.

I’ve had the privilege of calling Shaver Lake home since 1955 when my grandfather, Jack, built one of the first cabins in the East Village. It’s a place that has held a special spot in our hearts, a place where my family has made cherished memories for generations and still enjoys today!

Born and raised in Clovis, CA, my love for Shaver Lake drew me back to this picturesque community full-time in 2002 when my husband, Sean, and I decided to make it our permanent residence, along with our two wonderful daughters. Shaver Lake’s incredible beauty, diverse lifestyle, year-round recreational opportunities, and warm sense of community have enriched our lives beyond measure.

Our family has a deep appreciation for the outdoors, our favorite hobbies include spending summers on the lake, snowmobiling and skiing in the winter, embarking on off-road adventures, hiking, traveling, and sharing stories around a campfire with family and friends.

For over two decades, we have owned and operated various small businesses in our local area. Through these experiences, I have learned the values of versatility, resilience, dependability, hard work, and the fact that true success often lies just beyond our comfort zones.

My passion for investing in real estate, both residential and commercial, led me to obtain my real estate license. With an unwavering work ethic and dedication to my clients, I am committed to ensuring that your real estate experience is smooth and stress-free. Honesty, integrity, exceptional customer service, and client satisfaction have always been my top priorities as I’ve built and maintained long-term relationships.

I believe that effective communication, meticulous attention to detail, and a personalized approach are the keys to a successful real estate transaction. I am excited to earn your business and together, as your agent, we can make your real estate dreams a reality.

Thank you for considering me as your partner in your real estate journey.

I was born in Redwood City, CA and moved to Chowchilla, CA in 2006. From a young age, my family always took the time to take trips out to show my brother and I the great outdoors. At around four years of age, I learned to ski in these very woods at China Peak. Years later, I’d come to work as a supervisor at the same resort I’d come to love as a child. This lovely resort also introduced me to my wonderful fiancé.

I am very grateful to be able to work in an area like this. Every season is a beautiful shade to look forward to, and there’s always something to keep you busy. From the golden hues of fall to the cool tones of winter, the natural beauty here is abundant. It’s a pleasure to call such a gorgeous place home.

Throughout my work in the hospitality industry, I have learned to help people find what is best for them. I am very fond of working closely with others as well. In whatever I do, you can rest assured that my time and diligence will be dedicated towards it. My motivation is to help you find a house that feels like home. I look forward to working with you on your real estate journey!
