As a top 10% agent in Silicon Valley, I know the impact that the right agent can make with an excellent price and peace-of-mind.
All-star reviews testify I exceed sellers’ expectations by achieving a top sale price – often a record price – with my custom marketing plan and focused negotiations.
I help buyers purchase their perfect home but without overpaying. My clients’ homes often appraise higher than their offer price.
Prior to opening my real estate brokerage in 2003, I was a Vice President of Business Development & Marketing in Silicon Valley. I carried those skills of cutting-edge Silicon Valley marketing and multi-million dollar negotiations to real estate.
As a Bay Area native since 1979, I earned both a Bachelors of Arts and Science and a Master’s of Science from Stanford University with Honors. I also attended Castilleja School for girls in Palo Alto.
I have served on the board of directors of the Bay Area MLS, the California Association of Realtors, and a mutual water company where in 2020 I helped negotiate its acquisition by San Jose Water.
I enjoy beautiful views living in the San Jose hills and have lived in Palo Alto, Portola Valley, and San Carlos.

““Hire Catherine. She is not only wonderful to work with, but brings in the best photographer, best staging advice, best advertising and thus best results. She got us Top Dollar.” — Lynn S.
“Let me tell you, Catherine is worth her weight in gold. She is, hands down, top of the line, highest quality real estate professional I have ever met.” — Mai F.
“Even though most agents tend to emphasize the same set of skills and marketing features, I thought that Catherine was really on top of her game. She was also the only one who believed that my house could and would sell for top dollar. It did above all expectations. It also proved all the other agents wrong.” — Serge R.
“There are a lot of real estate brokers, but very few excellent ones. You are one of the excellent ones.” — Leigh & Mike C.
“Catherine could have stopped with staging and marketing our home and the 16 offers, and we would have been happy with the top offer out of the 16. But instead, she took that extra step and negotiated even more for us to get our sale price 3.3% higher. Catherine cares and seems to really enjoy negotiating for her clients.” — Sheri J.
“The sales price and the time on the market (again, due to Catherine’s strategy) was far and beyond our expectations.” — Julie P.”
