What do I attribute to my successful real estate career? Knowledge, kindness, a strong work ethic, and respect, which is an incredibly powerful combination. Whether coaching an agent or helping clients, you can count on me time after time. I will guide you through this ever-changing market. I will work extremely hard and will treat you the way I know I like to be treated.

I moved to the Peninsula area after graduating from UNC in 1992. Working in NY in the Fashion Industry and leading a sales team provided me the tools to transition my business knowledge to an accomplished real estate career as a Broker Manager and Realtor. Over the last decade, I worked for a local Luxury Real Estate Brokerage as a Regional Sales Manager, successfully managing three offices and coaching agents by helping them build their businesses. I joined NextHome Peninsula Realty Group as the Broker and an owner because of what the company provides their agents; from the support, human connection to the full suite of marketing and technology tools which helps our Agents to focus on building relationships with clients & support their real estate needs. 

When working with buyers, sellers or investors, my attention to detail and negotiating skills to get the best return for my clients is what sets myself and my team at NextHome apart from the industry. The look that a client gets when they find or sell THEIR home for top dollar is priceless! I ensure a smooth transaction from contract to close so that the celebration is at closing!

With every client, whether an Agent, buyer, seller or investor, it is all about you. I am a guide ready to serve and help. I enjoy what I do and I do it very well. I look forward to working with you. 

Every home has a story… Let me tell yours!

Diane F McGregor recommends Irene Zitzner

As an agent myself I entrusted the sale of my longtime family home to Irene. She made this very difficult decision and process so much easier. It was a bit of a difficult sale and required lots of negotiations, but she made sure that I was protected, and negotiations went in my favor. Thank you Irene!

Claire Ahearn recommends Irene Zitzner

As first time home-buyers in a not-so-friendly market, we knew the path to ownership was going to be a journey. Irene supported us every step of the way acting as advisor, advocate, and coach.

Her professionalism and positive energy was exactly what we needed to navigate a tricky and unknown process. She was flexible and generous with her time, always making herself available for last minute showing or quick conversation.

Most importantly for us - Irene was extremely patient and reassuring from start to finish. Over our year of ongoing questions, skepticism, and almost-offers she never wavered in her positive approach. Irene’s constant refrain was “I’ll be here with you until we find the home that’s right for you” and we certainly did!

Jerry Doherty recommends Irene Zitzner

Irene did a great job in selling our home. She went out of her way to ensure that our house looked its best to generate the best offer. In addition, her knowledge of the local market was invaluable in managing our expectations and ultimately selling the home at significantly more then the sales price. She also helped us understand the process and what we needed to get done and was always on top of everything. She always responded to any questions or concerns in a timely manner which made us very comfortable that everything was being handled.

Laurie Brekke recommends Irene Zitzner

Recently we were looking for a very unique piece of property for our business. We needed a specific amount of space, layout and location. Irene went above and beyond (and beyond and beyond!) not only to help us find and secure that property, but she did it with a smile and an amazingly professional attitude (even when circumstances were trying). We have no amount of praise that would equal how amazing our experience with her was and we HIGHLY recommend her! Thank you again for all you did for us, Irene! Laurie + Vidar Brekke

Kelly Richter recommends Irene Zitzner

Irene is the best! It’s intimidating to be a first time home buyer in this market, but she always made me feel informed and confident in my decisions throughout the process. She went above and beyond to make my offer attractive enough to beat out the other four offers! I’m in my dream home all thanks to Irene. It was truly a pleasure to work with Irene and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a lot of local knowledge, expertise, and overall kindness.

Courtney Catania recommends Irene Zitzner

Irene did a wonderful job helping me sell my townhome! From helping me first rent out my townhome to now selling it 3 years later, Irene made the process so easy and flawless. She is very knowledgeable and communicative which made it so easy to trust her that my property is in great hands. I’d recommend Irene to anyone who is in the market of buying and/or selling a home!
