Meet Annette
Built on Relationships, Powered by Results
Born and raised in Los Gatos, I built my career on relationships, market knowledge, and precise execution. With 21+ years across real estate investment, development, construction oversight, and property management, and over a decade as a Realtor with Coldwell Banker, I bring a rare blend of hands‑on building savvy and boardroom negotiation skills.
My philosophy is simple: own the process. I remain your single point of contact from strategy to close, partnering directly with a curated team (stager, photographer, transaction coordinator) while keeping every decision aligned with your goals. Clients choose me for calm guidance in competitive situations, smart pricing, elevated presentation, and an unmatched understanding of Los Gatos and Monte Sereno micro‑markets.

My Process: Start to Sold
Discovery & Game Plan
We clarify goals, timing, budget, and risk tolerance, then review a micro‑market brief with comps and buyer personas for your home. You’ll leave with a milestone calendar, a rough prep budget, and a clear definition of success.
Pricing & Strategy
I build a data‑backed valuation using hyper‑local comps and adjustments, plus a customized net sheet with scenario ranges. Together we choose our go‑to‑market: full MLS launch, private “whisper” period, or a two‑phase strategy designed to maximize leverage.
Prep & Vendor Orchestration
After a room‑by‑room walkthrough, I create an ROI‑ranked punch list. I schedule and oversee painters, landscapers, handyman, cleaners, and pre‑sale inspections/reports, keeping spend tight and the timeline on track. Disclosures are organized early so buyers can write with confidence.
Design & Media
We elevate presentation with purpose: thoughtful staging (or consult), minor design refreshes that photograph well, and premium media—pro photography, cinematic video, floor plans/3D tour, and aerials. I craft compelling copy and feature callouts, then build your property site and social assets.
Launch & Exposure
We time a high‑impact go‑live across MLS/portals, agent and buyer email campaigns, and targeted digital ads with geo‑retargeting. Open houses and private showings are coordinated for momentum. I provide real‑time feedback and adjust pricing/positioning if needed.
Offer Management & Negotiation
I analyze each offer’s terms, strength, and lender credibility, then recommend counters or a structured multiple‑offer process. We optimize not just price but timing, contingencies, rent‑back, and risk—keeping qualified backups engaged to protect your leverage.
Escrow Navigation
I track contingency timelines, inspections, appraisal, title, and loan conditions, resolving issues before they escalate. Expect weekly status check‑ins (or more often), clear next steps, and help negotiating repairs or credits while keeping momentum to close.
Close & Move
We finalize walkthrough, key and utility transfer, and move logistics. You’ll receive a digital closing packet, vendor referrals for the next chapter, and an annual portfolio/market review. My relationship doesn’t end at closing, count on ongoing support.
