Meet Lucinda

Lucinda Otto | CA DRE# 01929512

Lucinda Otto is a seventh-generation Californian and Bay Area native who combines deep local roots with a forward-thinking approach to real estate. With a GREEN Designation from the National Association of REALTORS®, she specializes in identifying and marketing homes with energy-efficient features, guiding buyers and sellers toward choices that are healthier for their families and the planet. Her clients value her advanced knowledge of sustainable housing, transparent communication, and strong project management skills.

Before real estate, Lucinda built a career in the arts and education as a drama teacher, playwright, and director, holding a BFA from NYU and an MA from Stanford. That background shaped her creativity, attention to detail, and ability to connect with people—all qualities she now brings to her real estate practice. Whether buying or selling, Lucinda’s clients benefit from her unique blend of expertise, dedication, and genuine care.
