Get to Know Me

From Piedmont to Beverly Hills, I’ve built my career—and my life—around connection, community, and contribution. With nearly 35 years of full-time experience, I’m proud to be in the top 1% of real estate agents nationwide. But my mission goes far beyond buying and selling homes.

As a partner at Corcoran Icon Properties and Marketing Director of our Piedmont and Oakland offices, I lead a dynamic team of 80+ agents, mentoring them in branding, business development, and purposeful growth. I co-founded Highland Partners during the 2009 downturn with my husband and business partner, Adam Betta, and our dear friend Heidi Marchesotti—a bold move that turned into one of the East Bay’s most successful boutique firms. In 2021, we merged with Corcoran, expanding our reach while preserving our boutique service philosophy and our VIP approach—where everyone, from contractors to celebrity clients, is treated like a star.

Over the years, we’ve worked with a remarkable clientele including Julianne Moore, Ted Danson, Sally Field, and director Chris Columbus—yet my greatest joy comes from helping everyday individuals and families find the home and lifestyle that supports their dreams.

I’m also a published author of four books, including Contained Beauty, The Art of Real Estate (co-authored with Adam), Real Estate Rules! 52 Ways to Achieve Success in Real Estate, and Beauty At Any Age—written during the pandemic as a love letter to self-confidence and the belief that age is just an attitude.

Beyond real estate, I’m deeply passionate about inspiring others to live vibrant, purposeful lives. Whether I’m traveling the world, connecting with new people, or immersing myself in diverse cultures, I’m always seeking meaningful experiences that elevate both myself and others. I also host the podcast Mastering the Art of Real Estate, where I share insights from entrepreneurs, creatives, and industry leaders committed to living and working with intention.

Giving back is at the core of who I am. I proudly support causes close to my heart, including UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland and Race to Erase MS. My work, my writing, and my life are all anchored in one mission: to uplift others and help them unlock their next chapter with clarity and confidence.

I invite you to join my community—subscribe to our real estate newsletter, and/or my personal newsletter for wellness inspiration, lifestyle finds, success tools, and a boost of positivity to help you live beautifully, inside and out. Stay tuned for my latest book, Mindset In Motion, Unlock Your Potential, For Life Transformation.
