I was born and raised in Finland. It was in Finland that I received my training in marketing, entrepreneurship and business administration and have over 25 years experience in customer relations. In 1992, I moved to Napa Valley where I received my real estate license in 2007.
I am a good listener and believe in being accessible and responding quickly to my clients' needs. My personal integrity, patience, diligence and analytical abilities enable me to provide my clients with the best possible choices. Working with a team of staff, inspectors and lenders allows me to use my skills to ensure transactions are managed with the utmost efficiency I love what I do.
I feel extremely fortunate to live in this beautiful valley and I am committed to giving back to the community. I am particularly passionate about animal rescue. In addition, I am a firm spokesperson / supporter for organ donations. In my free time, I love to spend time with family and my pets; reading is a passion of mine and home improvement projects allow me to be creative. Add gardening and I am complete.

View PropertyIra represented me and the seller when I bought my home. She did a great job in all aspects. Even where there issues on the other side, Ira handled fairly, professionally and went out of her way to make things right. She was also very helpful with local information and excellent referrals. I highly recommend her and like her a lot!
Bought a Single Family Home in Napa
I highly recommend Ira! As a first time home buyer, she was a perfect fit for me. I appreciated her dedication to her job and her very real support. I could tell she enjoyed showing me homes. She is knowledgeable about the Napa Valley. She is smart and friendly. She is a good communicator, efficient,thorough, organized, and always quick to respond to texts, emails, or calls. She helped me through a quick close with ease. Ira would let me know the next decision coming up so I could do my research and be ready. She kept me on my deadlines. She was supportive when I had fears. She answered all my questions completely and honestly. Ira seemed to enjoy spending time helping me - to her it seemed like a passion and a calling, not just a job.
Bought a Home in Tulsa
I could not have found a better Realtor. Ira operates with integrity first and foremost. She is incredibly honest and ethical, which is important and refreshing. She is totally dedicated to her clients and goes way above and beyond to get the job done with excellent results. She has done three transactions for me and with one being a terrible situation in which she protected me and negotiated on my behalf despite the deal not going through which was the best thing for me. That is not easy to do or common. I am very grateful to her and now consider her a great friend beyond working with her.
