Personnel file: Realtor Billowitch joins Alain Pinel’s local office

Alain Pinel Realtors announced last week that Realtor MaryJane Billowitch has been hired as a new addition to the company’s Pleasanton/Livermore office.

A local award winner who is a certified relocation specialist and accredited staging professional, Billowitch has developed a strong reputation for her ability to showcase homes and for her understanding of clients’ needs, according to APR officials.

“I take great pride in helping my clients achieve their goals. Through an extensive network of professional contacts and relationships with lenders, I have had the privilege of helping countless buyers and sellers,” Billowitch said in a statement. “I am excited to join the APR team and look forward to continuing to showcase the area’s many wonderful communities.”

Don Faught, managing broker for APR’s Pleasanton/Livermore office, lauded Billowitch for her variety of experience and for what her skills will offer to the local real estate team.

“With her accreditation as a relocation specialist and staging professional, MaryJane is an outstanding addition to our team,” Faught said. “Her specialized expertise will serve as a resource for clients as our area continues to see growth and attract residents. We are thrilled to have her join us.”

Billowitch’s decade of experience also includes strong knowledge of communities throughout Northern California and expertise in structuring short-sale transactions, APR officials said.

She earned the Achievement Club President Award from the Bay East Association of Realtors three years in a row and the Achievement Club Master Award twice, including last year. She was also featured on HGTV’s “My First Place” in 2011.

A Livermore resident, Billowitch is a member of several trade organizations, including Bay East, the California Association of Realtors and the National Association of Realtors. Outside of real estate, she volunteers at her church and children’s school and has served as a Brownie leader and troop organizer.

A Pennsylvania native, Billowitch earned a degree in business administration from Lehigh Carbon Community College.
