Last Thursday, I hosted a brokers soirée at a beautiful, iconic, home in Healdsburg. Bringing colleagues together to experience a property is one of my favorite parts of this business. There’s time to explore the home, exchange ideas, and catch up in a setting that invites everyone to linger a little longer.

But when I look at these photos of my incredible team, what makes me smile most is the women standing beside me…Hayley and Bonnie.

I am incredibly fortunate to have these amazing women on my team. They always show up. They’re eager to help, generous with their time, and full of ideas and insights that make our work better. And they bring a sense of fun to the process, which I appreciate more than they probably know.

So Much Happens Before the Door Opens

A lovely evening takes preparation. There are details to think through, things to organize, and those last-minute moments when an extra pair of hands makes all the difference.

Having people beside you who naturally ask, “What can I do?” is a gift.

That willingness carries into our everyday work. I value having women around me who share their perspectives, notice something I may have missed, and care enough to offer a thoughtful suggestion. Each brings her own strengths, and I love seeing how those strengths come together.

After many years in real estate, I still appreciate a fresh idea. Experience gives you perspective, but a good team keeps you curious.

Our Clients Feel It, Too

The care we bring to working with one another carries into how we serve our clients. Preparing a home, considering how best to present it, and welcoming fellow brokers all benefit from people who are engaged and invested in the process.

I’m proud of the work we do together. I’m also grateful for the everyday kindness behind it…the helping hands, the encouragement, and the ability to laugh together when the day gets busy and sometimes tough.

Real estate is a relationship business, and the relationships within our team deserve to be celebrated, too.

A Little Gratitude

We took a moment during Thursday’s soirée to capture these photos, and I’m so glad we did. They remind me to pause and appreciate the people I get to work alongside.

To these wonderful women: thank you for showing up, for sharing your ideas, and for bringing so much care and enthusiasm to what we do. I notice it, I appreciate it, and I feel very lucky to have you beside me.
