Emily has called California home for over a decade and likes to think of herself as a California "native." Learning from her mother, Linda K. Martin, a top-producing Chicagoland agent for 45+ years, Emily has been immersed in real estate all her life. A homeowner in her early 20s in Manhattan's Gramercy Park, then San Francisco, and now Healdsburg, she understands the intricacies of ownership in highly sought-after markets.
Backed by an MBA in Finance, Emily offers a strong foundation in financial strategy, pricing analysis, and investment insight. Paired with 25+ years of luxury marketing and sales experience with brands including Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co., and Bloomingdale's, she brings a refined, strategic approach to every listing.
Emily is a Certified Luxury Home Agent (CLHA) and a Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES), the National Association of Realtors® designation for agents trained to serve clients age 50+. The overlap matters: many of her clients are selling a long-held property while planning a move into something simpler, a transaction that requires luxury-caliber marketing and patient, informed guidance at once. Few agents in Healdsburg and Sonoma County are equipped to handle a high-value sale and a life transition as a single, coordinated move.
Her results come from deep fluency in the Wine Country and Bay Area markets, a marketer's instinct for the story a property tells, and the negotiating discipline to protect her clients' position. Clients describe her as someone who understood what they wanted before they had articulated it themselves - trust reflected in 54+ five-star Google reviews and in calls that continue for years after closing, for a trusted contractor, a read on the market, or a second opinion on a 1031 exchange.
Emily represents buyers and sellers of Wine Country's most distinctive properties: luxury homes, estate vineyards, working ranches, investment holdings, and raw land throughout Healdsburg, Alexander Valley, Dry Creek Valley, Russian River Valley, Windsor, Santa Rosa, Napa, Marin, and surrounding communities.
She fell in love with Healdsburg on her first visit in 2012 and relocated from San Francisco in 2020. Her blog, The JetSetting Fashionista, covers food, wine, luxury travel, and hospitality. She is active in Sonoma County Women Professionals and the Healdsburg Chamber of Commerce, serves on two Boys & Girls Club Healdsburg committees, and rides annually in Chef's Cycle benefitting No Kid Hungry.
