As a native of the beautiful Central Coast, I have deep roots in our coastal and ranching communities, having lived throughout SLO County—from the wine country of Paso Robles to the charming Southern Coastal areas. Real estate runs in my family; together, we've served this area for over 20 years. I was licensed as a real estate agent at a young age, bringing a lifetime of local knowledge and dedic

ation to my clients.⁣

If you know me, you know I work incredibly hard for my clients—every single day. Friends, family, and clients often say I’m one of the most driven people they know, fueled by my passion for real estate and a competitive spirit. I take pride in negotiating below-list price deals for my buyers and designing innovative marketing strategies for my sellers to secure multiple offers above list price. I fully understand the stress and financial impact that comes with buying or selling a home, which is why I bring loyalty, dedication, transparency, and a strong work ethic to each client relationship.⁣

My services and skills have been honed through years of experience. I don't rely on scripts, pushy sales tactics, or over-the-top pitches. Instead, I focus on delivering results through authenticity, continuous learning, and an unyielding commitment to excellence. Clients who work with me quickly see my dedication, competence, and skill.⁣

As Vice President, Designated Officer, and a Top Producing Agent at Merrill & Associates Real Estate—a family-owned, woman-operated business—I’d love to help you or anyone you know achieve your real estate dreams this year. When you're ready to buy or sell, let's connect!The service level and skills I provide have been a culmination of many years of experience. I’m not an agent that uses scripts, pushy sales tactics, or arrogant pitches. I am amazing at what I do because of the thousands of hours I spend trying to become a better agent for my clients. The clients who choose to work with me find out very quickly how dedicated, competent, and skilled I am because of my services, authentic approach, and sheer tenacity to achieve results.⁣

The C.A.R. Residential Listing Agreement (RLA) includes an 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 provision where a Seller and Listing Broker may agree to additional compensation if the property is ultimately purchased by an 𝘂𝗻𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 Buyer.⁣

𝘚𝘰 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯?⁣

👉 An 𝘂𝗻𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 Buyer has elected to purchase the property without their own real estate representation.⁣
👉 The Listing Agent continues to represent the Seller—𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝘂𝘆𝗲r.⁣
👉 The Buyer remains responsible for making their own decisions and protecting their own interests.⁣
👉 The additional fee does 𝗻𝗼𝘁, by itself, create dual agency.⁣

𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹, 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗮 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗲𝗲?⁣

An unrepresented Buyer can create additional work, time and risk for the Listing Broker in facilitating the transaction for the Seller—including providing access to the property, interacting with escrow, title and inspectors, and handling other administrative aspects necessary to move the Seller's transaction forward.⁣

But here's the distinction I think every Seller should understand:⁣

𝗜𝗳 𝗜 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝘂𝘆𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘂𝗻𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱, 𝗺𝘆 𝗳𝗶𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗱𝘂𝘁𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝘆 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿. That's very different from dual agency, where the brokerage represents both the Seller AND the Buyer, and both parties must be informed of and consent to that agency relationship.⁣

𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:⁣

🙋🏼‍♀️The Unrepresented Buyer fee is negotiable. The provision itself is optional, and the amount is negotiated between the Seller and Listing Broker when entering into the Listing Agreement.⁣

So when reviewing your Listing Agreement, don't just look at the listing commission. 𝗔𝘀𝗸 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗶𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝘂𝘆𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁.⁣

1. Understand the provision.🫡⁣
2. Understand the compensation.💰⁣
3. Understand who your agent represents.👑⁣
