Description
Helaine transitioned into real estate in 2002, bringing with her a sharp business acumen honed over two decades in the Bay Area’s high-tech sector. As an Account Executive and New Business Director with COMSUL and EnPointe Technologies, she thrived in a competitive landscape, developing the strategic skills that now set her apart in real estate.
Since launching her career in real estate, Helaine has consistently been recognized as a top performer. She quickly discovered that the best source of new business comes from satisfied clients, a testament to her commitment to exceptional service. Known for her meticulous attention to detail, she expertly guides sellers through the preparation process, ensuring their homes are presented at their absolute best. For buyers, she remains deeply attuned to the market, helping them find the perfect home with diligence and expertise. Her extensive network of trusted vendors—including contractors, inspectors, lenders, and designers—provides invaluable support in every transaction.
“My relationship with clients doesn’t end at closing,” Helaine says. “I want them to feel confident knowing they can reach out to me anytime—whether they need a plumber, an architect, or simply advice on homeownership.”
As a REALTOR®, Helaine upholds the highest ethical standards. She is an active member of the California Association of REALTORS® and the National Association of REALTORS®, staying informed on legislative issues that impact homeowners’ rights. Her affiliation with Sotheby’s International Realty ensures she remains at the forefront of industry trends and best practices.
Beyond real estate, Helaine is deeply involved in the Sonoma community. She serves as President of the 150-member Valley of the Moon Garden Club, is a past board member of the Sons of Italy, a mentor with Sonoma Mentoring, and a former KSVY radio host.
