Real Estate Agent
Originally from New York, I located to the bay area over 25 years ago. I have passion and immense pride in helping my clients achieve their dreams of buying or selling a home. I understand this is a process and a significant milestone in someone’s life. I hold the Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES) designation which enables me to help you manage the financial and emotional challenges of selling a long-held family home. Moving can be overwhelming and stressful. I am committed to providing a stress-free and seamless experience for all my clients.

“First-class experience both buying and selling, Arlene was a pleasure to work with. As the selling agent for our old condo, she skillfully dealt with remodelers, inspectors, and a very uncooperative homeowners’ association. As the buying agent for our new townhouse, she negotiated a great price and helped us to arrange financing in record time. In both cases she was very responsive to all our needs and kindly followed up to make sure were completely satisfied. We recommend her very highly.”

For buyers, I collaborate with them on pricing and terms & conditions for the offer. I have a high success rate of getting my clients offer accepted the very first time, with the exception of only two.

“We met Arlene at an Open House we attended in San Leandro. I liked her from the get-go because she was very genuine and not pushy. I liked that she just let us browse and didn't try to take us on as clients, like some of the other agents at previous open houses. After looking around the home, I asked her a couple of questions and she was open, honest and helpful with her answers. I felt like for once we were taken seriously. Fast forward less then 2 months later... we are officially home owners thanks to Arlene's help! We are so grateful to Arlene, she made the entire process pain free and smooth even during the busiest time of the year... the holidays! THANK YOU SO MUCH ARLENE! I never thought we would be homeowners by the end of 2022. I cannot recommend Arlene enough.”

I live on the Lagoon in Alameda and have a daughter, Grace who is getting her PhD in Clinical Psychology.

I have a cat, Marley, who falls into the Lagoon every now and again.
