Tiffany Hickenbottom

The blend of sales and marketing is a perfect profession for someone with a variety of interests and natural abilities—one who is creative, loves to be in front of an audience, has an inquiring mind, a big sense of humor and a pioneering spirit. Tiffany’s favorite part of the real estate business is getting to know the people she works with and what’s important to them.

As a result, their input either shapes the development of highly effective marketing outreach programs or sets her on a path of discovering the most ideal property offerings on the market. Tiffany’s a matchmaker of sorts. And the result of pairing complementary buyers and sellers is one sale after another.

In the past 15 years, Tiffany has worked with a team of highly successful Canadian developers at Emerging Markets of North America and over 500 realtors in Northern California—starting at The Mitchell Group in Carmel (acquired by Sotheby’s International Realty), Paragon Real Estate Group and now she’s teamed up with Compass in Noe Valley.

Tiffany can confidently say that her marketing and sales experience is far reaching and allows her to wear a variety of hats—those of an innovator, a designer, a media technologist, a diplomat, a psychologist and sometimes even a miracle worker. It all comes down to listening to her clients, defining their needs, reading the marketplace and responding appropriately.

Finding a new opportunity or an adventure in each day is what inspires her, especially when there’s such a nice flow of positive, tangible results. Tiffany has a theory: If she continues to foster great alliances, introduce outstanding opportunities to buyers and sellers, negotiate fair and equitable deals, explore new horizons and utilize her natural abilities, she’ll be content with her life.

That’s probably why Tiffany’s not like many others who bring home their work woes at the end of the day. What she does in the San Francisco real estate marketplace is a perfect fit for her...so much so, Tiffany might even be smiling in her sleep at night.
