What feeds me? A beautiful flower… a gorgeous day… delicious food and wine… great friends… experiencing life on the Peninsula…. and sharing it! That's what feeds me!
Prior to living in Carmel, I spent 10 years living abroad in India, Spain, and Taiwan with my husband Bob and our three children Greg, Rob and Aimee. It was during that time that I realized how important finding the right home was in creating a foundation for our children and us to thrive. That experience, along with my early love of architecture and design, is what led me to my 40-year real estate career. I've ranked in the top 3 percent of the industry nationwide year after year and have closed more than 1 billion dollars in personal career sales. There is nothing I enjoy more than educating buyers and sellers on all this area has to offer. It goes without saying, that after closing so many transactions I treasure my repeat clients as well as the new ones.
My dream of making this area my family's permanent home came true in 1993, when I opened what became the highly successful Alain Pinel REALTORS® in Carmel. In 2019 we merged our company with another highly successful and family owned real estate firm, Carmel Realty Company in order to compete in an expanding world-wide market. Our local expertise and knowledge are critical. Our standards of care and hands-on service are second to none. Together we have formed the #1 firm on the Peninsula.
When I'm not working, I enjoy traveling, spending time with my nine grandchildren and supporting the arts and various philanthropies in the local area.
