Shary was born and raised in Palo Alto, and attended the local public schools. Upon graduating from college, she taught school, was an administrator, and then a consultant conducting work shops in education for the State of California.  She began her real estate career almost twenty years ago because she recognized a different approach to real estate was needed.  She understood the best way to serve clients was to be an advisor; not a sales woman.  She is well known in the community for her endless energy, creative marketing ideas, and renovating and staging vision.  She is also an excellent negotiator, and her honesty and dedication to the service of our clients gives us an advantage in today's market. She has developed our large referral business because of her excellent reputation with our clients and her thoroughness in handling each detail of their transaction. The needs of our clients are her top priority. Having lived and worked on the Peninsula her entire life, there is no substitute for her in-depth knowledge of our community, education system, and local real estate history.
