Therese Swan

Therese Swan is committed to providing the highest quality service in the real estate industry. She utilizes her previous experience in the sale of high-end business and technology consulting in order to thoroughly understand her clients needs, analyze market conditions, and provide her clients with the in-depth information they need to make timely and accurate real estate decisions.

She developed an early passion for real estate and began investing in properties right after college.

By her fourth year in the business she was #3 agent in Almaden Valley.

Therese has a Bachelor of Science degree from The College of William and Mary with majors in both mathematics and computer science. In addition, she studied at the graduate level in advanced computer science at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Prior to Real Estate, Therese worked in the technology industry, first as a programmer, then as a project lead, and later in sales for both software and high-end business and technology consulting services. Programming expertise includes both Applications Programming on a multitude of platforms, databases and operating systems as well as MVS Systems Programming.
