About Me
Eileen Townsend is the advocate, strategist, and leader you've hoped for in our fast-paced real estate market. Armed with perspective from a dozen of her own moves, and hundreds of home sales and purchases for clients, Eileen takes the mystery out of buying, the uncertainty out of selling, and (much of) the stress out of moving. Your goals chart the destination; Eileens experience maps the savvy course. You will feel empowered to make wise decisions, maximize your return, and rest assured that your interests are protected. In this high stakes Bay Area market, you should demand nothing less.
My Qualifications
Having worked since 2003 under the Sotheby's and Coldwell Banker brands before embarking into the future of real estate with Compass, Eileen has been recognized among the top Realtors worldwide. Whether markets are rising, with scarce inventory and multiple offers, or shifting, with softening prices and unpredictable outcomes, she guides clients to successful closings on time, on goal, and with ease.
Backed by the innovation, data and resources of the Bay Area's leading real estate brand, Eileen guides you with a unique combination of strengths:
- A Homeowner and Investor: Before making real estate her career, Eileen lived through two decades of executive relocation with her family, buying and selling a dozen of her own homes and investment properties in six states, coast to coast (three so far in the Bay Area). She sees what you see, feels what you feel, from a first-hand perspective.
- A Career Communicator: A former journalist and marketing-PR executive, Eileen makes clear what may be new, complicated or confusing, whether it is about the property or the process. She knows where to uncover information you need, an effort sometimes overlooked or abandoned by others.
- As a Listing Agent, Eileen's marketing finesse identifies the most compelling attributes of your property and portrays strengths attractively and convincingly to the broadest possible audience. On price and timing, her strategy is data-driven to target desired results.
- A Skilled Negotiator, Eileen brings parties together, solves problems, and keeps your interests at the fore, whether you are her seller, or her buyer.
- Experience: Hundreds of closings for sellers, buyers and investors, through stable, peaking and troughing markets, enable Eileen to anticipate the challenges and strategize solutions.
- Demeanor: Clients and colleagues call Eileen "the calm in the eye of the storm" of real estate.
