Erin is a member of the highly acclaimed Pleasanton Administrative team since 2002.

As a marketing expert for the Colliers Pleasanton office, I provide support to the various broker teams. Handling the layout and design of property marketing, email blasts, social media tiles, direct mail, quarterly reports, business development pieces, client-facing pitches, and special projects.

I utilize my 6+ years of marketing experience, creative knowledge, and design skills to ensure our projects adhere to a high standard of excellence.

Lisa is a member of the highly acclaimed Pleasanton Administrative team. 

As an Administrative Assistant at Colliers International, my work focuses on supporting the brokers and the operations manager in our Oakland office.  A significant portion of my time is dedicated to producing proposals and contracts for the brokers, and having worked previously in accounting and legal offices I particularly enjoy working with documents.  It is very satisfying to contribute my attention-to-detail to the excellence of the work we produce in our office. 

I also handle many of the logistical details in the office, such as managing supplies and invoicing, interfacing with the building management, and functioning as office receptionist.

Immediately prior to joining Colliers I worked as a yacht broker.  My husband Bob and I live on a yacht at Grand Marina in Alameda, but we also have a home and orchard at the end of a private road in a beautiful part of Auburn.  We are close to our children and grandchildren, as well as our nearby extended family. In my free time, I love to bake and to garden, and Bob and I share a special interest in exercise, archeology, travel, and the outdoors. 

I joined Colliers International in 2016 as an administrative assistant to provide support to the industrial, retail, office and multi-family brokers in the Oakland office.  Prior to Colliers, I worked for 20 years as an administrative assistant at Salomon Brothers/Salomon Smith Barney/Citigroup, and then later in the public sector at the San Francisco’s Sheriff’s Civil Division Department. 

The fast pace of commercial real estate suits me, and I like the urgency to get things done quickly and correctly.  I take pride in my initiative and problem-solving skills, and look forward to developing a deeper expertise in brokerage work. 

In my free time, I am an avid ultra-runner and often participate in 50-100K races.  Relatedly, I dedicate a great deal of time to the Las Lomas High School Cross Country Team.  I like to think that I am helping the young athletes develop healthy habits that might last their lifetimes.  I also enjoy reading, and have an appreciation for the classics.  Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky are my favorites. 

I began working for Colliers International in 2014 and have been in real estate since 2000.  Assisting with leasing, property tours, and marketing of properties, I strive to provide superior service, information and accessibility for the brokers that I assist and their clients.
