When I was growing up in Petaluma, this charming little town was still referred to as the Chicken Capital of the World. I went to Cinnabar Elementary, then on to what used to be the old Kenilworth Junior High and later graduated from Casa Grande High School. Everyone knew each other by their first name and you were always greeted with a “hello” when passing others by on the street. I enjoy the small-town charm this city still has and am happy to call Petaluma home. When we got married, my husband and I decided to buy our first home but we sadly realized that we could not afford to buy a home in Petaluma. Home prices were climbing and there was not a single family home to be found for us first-time home buyers. We looked at a map and realized the closest city we could afford to buy in was Vallejo, where home prices were still reasonable. We pulled up our bootstraps and bought our first home where we put everything we had into that little house. Thanks to a good deal of sweat equity and a great deal of real estate appreciation, we were able to sell our first “starter” home and move into a larger home. A few years later, after our son was born, we realized that we had to be close to our family in Sonoma County where we both grew up. We sold our big home in Vallejo and moved back to our old neighborhood here in Petaluma. This is where we started and we are here to stay! I know first hand that your home is your most valuable asset and it is so important that you love where you live. Whether you are buying your first home or want to spread your wings in a larger home, your priorities and needs come first with me. With the kind of know-how that comes from over a decade of marketing and sales experience, I will negotiate expertly in your best interest. To me, it's about experience, commitment, hard work, enthusiasm, integrity and results. I am thrilled to be a part of the Frank Howard Allen team here in Petaluma and look forward to helping you find your dream home.
