Renee's Story
Renée Spooner is a dedicated real estate professional serving the mid-Peninsula, and a focus on Menlo Park and Silicon Valley. With a career rooted in marketing, communications, and community engagement, Renée leads with her well-honed people skills to conduct all interactions with the highest integrity.
A natural connector, Renée excels at understanding her clients’ needs. Ranging from first-time homebuyers navigating California’s competitive market, to property owners considering downsizing, upsizing, or relocating, Renée utilizes her business acumen along with the breadth and depth of The Agency resources to get the job done. Her high-tech and nonprofit branding background is the foundation for her ability to collaborate, craft compelling narratives, and execute strategic plans—talents that translate well into guiding buyers and sellers to achieve their goals.
Renée is deeply tied to Menlo Park. She supported the Menlo-Atherton school district where her two sons attended, and championed various local initiatives. Her experience co-founding a nonprofit marketing agency also reflects her commitment to the greater good, strengthening the brands of social services organizations and driving impactful change.
Fluent in French, and having studied and worked in both Paris and Lyons, Renée’s global perspective infuses her style. She approaches being a realtor with the same energy, resourcefulness, and problem-solving mindset that defined her corporate career—always putting her clients’ best interests first.
In her downtime, Renée enjoys biking, gardening, cooking, traveling, and relaxing with her miniature Poodle mix, Marley. She remains actively involved in building a legacy of giving back to the community she treasures. For Renée, real estate isn’t just about transactions—it’s about relationships, trust, and helping people find their special home in the world.
“With my drive and market knowledge, I work to make my clients’ real estate aspirations a reality,” says Renee. “We’ll find the best solutions together. Let’s get started!”
