About Rene

A home is much more than a roof over our heads, it's where life happens, where we engage and care for those we love. Rene’s client’s goals are key to what motivates her. The greatest single factor in satisfying her clients is the service they experience. Having a plan, working hard, responding quickly, thinking creatively, expecting the unexpected and ultimately doing whatever is necessary to ensure that their goals are met – these are all vital elements to delivering excellent service.

Having sold real estate on the North Shore since 2002, she has experience in fast-moving and slower markets and can manage the marketing process and search effort with ease and confidence. Her past work experience both in interior design, catering and specialty food sales has taught her to listen well, be intuitive and creatively problem solve while remaining a calming force in all situations.

Her home for the last 30 years has been on the North Shore, where she has raised three kids. Rene is a consultant for my husband's company - Benchmark Carpentry & Woodworks LLC, renovating homes and utilizing her design skills all while continuing to be in leadership roles in their community and church. This gives her the unique ability and perspective to guide buyers and sellers in making the best investment.
