Hello, and thanks for visiting my page!

One of my favorite mottos is: "always service before self-interest”, and I truly love the process of finding a home for someone.

Hello (again?)!!!

My work history and life experiences have taught me that treating others with honesty, integrity, and respect are of utmost importance during any negotiation. I strive to ensure every person I engage with during a real estate transaction receives the proper care and attention before, during, and after each sale or purchase. My clients are always the biggest beneficiaries of this. Give me a call for a market analysis and to discuss your real estate needs. 415.690.5704.

On a personal note:
When I’m not out showing houses or preparing a home for the market, I do enjoy a good Netflix binge; reading up on Permaculture farming; volunteering/donating to animal rights organizations/sanctuaries; or just spending a few hours with NPR. Occasionally, on the good days, I can be found at the gym, or on an urban hike with my “big”, little dog, Dee.

The areas I serve
San Francisco is one of the most beautiful cities in the country. There's always something to do, the people are open-minded, the nature is exquisite and there are plenty of job opportunities for people moving to the city. These are just some of the reasons why I love San Francisco! The areas I service include:

📌 San Francisco
📌 The Castro District
📌 The Mission District

Having lived in all three of these areas over the past 25 years I know them well. I spend a lot of my time researching and understanding the local market to ensure I can offer my clients the best advice before they invest in their home. Knowledge is power. And by giving my clients the facts, they can make an informed decision that they won’t regret. Working with me, you’ll get access to sales price reports, interest rates reports and information on local inventory. Whatever you need to feel confident about your real estate transaction, I can provide.

Knowing that I can help my clients’ create new memories in a home that’s theirs, gives me great joy. It’s one of the best parts of my job and it’s what motivates and drives me every day.

My client base is really versatile. I’ve worked with all sorts of people. It’s one of the perks of living in San Francisco. The city is so culturally rich and diverse that you can really work with anyone. I have found that over the years my clients include married couples with children, married gay couples and single gay men. Many of my clients are in the tech industry. I’ve helped a lot of people relocate to the city for work, sourcing the perfect property that is conveniently placed near work and all the lifestyle amenities they desire. The people I work with are often foodies who enjoy all the wonderful restaurants we have in our city. They also love the theatre and the great outdoors!
