ABOUT ME.

Hello, my name is Helen Watson.

Originally from Ireland, I came to San Francisco in 2003 after finishing my master’s degree at the University of Limerick, Ireland, where I studied marketing and economics.

I came here for a three-month vacation; however, life took over and I never left! I quickly fell in love with the city and all that the beautiful Bay Area has to offer.

After owning my own property management company for 14 years, I decided to venture into real estate full time with Vanguard Properties.

Between selling and buying real estate for my clients, I also work with my husband to build and renovate properties for sale. My knowledge of what buyers are looking for allows me to hone in on where best to add value to a property and how best to maximize the space available.
