After moving my parents from their home of 41 years, I learned first hand how stressful and exhausting the process can be on all parties involved. Wanting to help others, I use my project management and organizational skills to guide seniors and their families through this potentially overwhelming transition with a calm and thoughtful approach.

Innovative Sales & Leasing (ISL) was started in 1984 in Mountain View, California, as an alternative to conventional car buying. There was an obvious need for a way to buy or lease a motor vehicle, without having to endure the stressful shopping and negotiating process, so often associated with car buying. Since we have no product affiliation or loyalty, we function as a BUYER’S ADVOCATE!!
