Pam Buda’s Summary

Sonoma County wine country realtor with extensive marketing, management and sales expertise from my former career building successful technology startups, plus over five years of building a successful and growing (even in this market) real estate practice with Coldwell Banker, specializing in country, equestrian property, retreat and estate properties. Collaboration with clients, colleagues and partners, communications and creative problem-solving, whether in the pursuit of successful real estate transactions, or paving the way for new technologies on-line takes the same skills and passion, applied in different venues.
