DRE #00874780

 

I've been in Real Estate since 1984, am currently Thornwall's top selling agent and have served as an elected member of the Berkeley Board of Realtors Board of Directors. I was raised with four great sisters (!) in the Midwest, and have happily made Berkeley my home since 1974 where I live with my husband and daughter. A graduate of Webster College in St. Louis, I later trained and worked professionally in theater and teaching before entering the real estate field. I find that my theater and art training as well as the skills learned as a teacher are continuing to come in handy daily in my work with clients and their homes.

 

I truly enjoy working with people and make a concerted effort to put people at ease. It's serious business, buying or selling a house, but the process doesn't need to be painful. I've maintained a good working relationship with other professionals which has helped to serve my clients well.

 

Each person and house I work with seem to present a slightly different set of challenges, require a slightly different approach and offer a new lesson for me to squirrel away for later use. As a person who's always thrived on variety, it's kept me entertained and stimulated for 20 years.

   

I've been known to write thank you notes to clients for being so splendid to work with and making my job a pleasure ... but now that I'm supposed to make a web page, I'm especially grateful for the kind words my clients have thrown my way.

 

Dear Colleen,

 

I want to thank you again for service beyond expectations - I'm overwhelmed with gratitude when I remember what you did to coordinate the work to prep the house for sale - you arranged for the inspections, the painter, the landscaper, the tree trimmers, the cleaners, the floor people ... Colleen, you were wonderful. All these efforts on top of your professional realtor duties. I am so grateful to you Colleen. You can count on me to rave about your professionalism and your humanity any time.

Many thanks!
