Claire is a realtor.
She is also a Davis resident and a democracy advocate. She stands in front of the Varsity Theater after some showings of Al Gore's movie "An Inconvenient Truth" about global warming, with an ironing board, stamps, envelopes, pens, paper, and addresses of elected officials for Davis so people can communicate their will to the people who are supposed to be representing them in government. You just write your letter, address and stamp it, seal it up, and put it in the box with the rest, and Claire mails them all together. Claire is serious about democracy and regards the writing of letters to one's representatives as something akin to voting, and for that reason she is very careful about the secrecy of your letter.
Unfortunately she is not able to do this all the time as she has a business and a family to look after. Claire has her ironing board and writing materials stored in a closet at the Varsity Theatre, so if you want to fill in, you need only ![[MAILTO]](http://wikispot.org/wiki/eggheadbeta/img/email.png){kind=small}
contact her and show up at the Varsity when a movie showing gets out. Or alternately, you could get your own materials and table at the Varsity, or anywhere else.

2006-10-19 20:59:37 The description above provides some interesting context about Claire. However, if you happen to navigate to this page from Realtors, you might find yourself a bit mystified about Claire's skills in real estate. What you would want to know is that Claire is highly experienced, very knowledgeable about Davis, savvy about real estate buying & selling process, has an unassuming low-key style, and — perhaps the most important quality in someone that will broker one of the life's most important economic transactions — she is thoroughly honest. She helped us buy our dream house in Davis, and continues to provide occasional advice and counsel, years later. Highly recommended. —RayValdes
2009-07-29 15:21:49 I've run out of adjectives to describe Claire. Let me put it this way ... I wish everybody I knew was buying a house so that I could recommend her. She is phenomenal. Claire knows Davis. She knows real estate, she knows people, she knows painters and contractors and who to ask for toilet recommendations ... Claire Knows. Everything. She'll probably even give you restaurant suggestions if you ask.
Claire is the kind of service provider you want at your side, particularly in this market. I had a very complex circumstance, and it was very frustrating at times (and frankly, I'm kind of a handful) but Claire always made me feel that I was more important than the sale, and was always looking out for my best interests.
I cannot say enough good things about her, and if you are looking for a realtor and you happened upon this page... Lucky you. Your search is over. Go buy a lottery ticket. —NDS1111
2009-10-12 12:04:45 As a new first time home buyer moving to Davis, I was so relieved and happy to meet Claire. She was extremely patient and knowledgable about Davis and homebuying. She was extremely responsive to my questions, my schedule (she even met me late on a Saturday night to get an offer in writing after I got off work)and my desire to get the right house - without any pressure for a quick sale on her end. I found our days looking at homes to be enjoyable and it was obvious by the homes that she had listed as a seller's agent that she was a true professional. I later found out that she had helped some other friends who had a similar experience. Buying a house can be an extremely stressful time but Claire took the time to explain the process and the pitfalls and was a true ally in the process. —hladner
