324 Sea View Dr., Piedmont

I joined The GRUBB Co. three years ago, after a brief association with a national firm and have enjoyed a collaborative and dynamic association with my colleagues and clients ever since. I have found that working in a highly respected “boutique” agency allows for greater creativity and increased productivity.

I enjoy working with motivated buyers and sellers equally and have discovered that each transaction is unique and that each experience provides tremendous satisfaction and personal growth along the way. I value community, family, kindness, integrity and humor – both personally and professionally - and promise to carefully listen to your objectives, work diligently to achieve your goals and never lose sight of your dreams.

To that end, I created and write an informative and friendly e-letter called The Piedmont Perspective, which tracks and analyzes the real estate market on a weekly basis. It also speaks to lifestyle and community activities in and around Piedmont and the East Bay. With more than 900 subscribers, it has quickly been dubbed the "pulse of Piedmont." I invite you to join my readership by filling in your email address in the box at the right.

I live and work in Piedmont where my two boys attend the middle and high schools here in town. In addition to being a topnotch Realtor, I am a wife, a mother, a philanthropist, a comic at heart, a weekend athlete, and a chocolate-chip cookie baker. I enjoy a good book, a good flea market and a good walk - often with my Labrador Retriever, Buck, in tow.

Having spent the majority of my adult life in San Francisco, I am pleased to have discovered all that the East Bay has to offer. The East Bay is an exciting and eclectic community and I am pleased and proud to be a part of this diverse experience.

If you have questions about the real estate process or would like to get started, I can be reached at (510) 326-0840 or at jgardner@grubbco.com. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
