So excited to have helped my client secure this fantastic home in the heart of San Francisco — and even more special that this home found the perfect owner. It checked all the boxes: location, layout, and lifestyle.

🎉 Just Closed! 🏡💫
This one was extra special—helping dear friends find their new home in San Francisco while they were also selling their home across the country in Pennsylvania. Talk about pressure!
This was the third home we put an offer on—and third time really was the charm. The timing couldn’t have been more perfect. This home wasn’t even available when we wrote offers on the first two. After our second offer was not accepted, I happened to reach out to the listing agent just to check in to see what the status was…since my buyers ❤️ this home and to our surprise...It turned out the sellers were being ghosted by their current buyers. 😬
We saw the opening, submitted a strong offer—and boom—we were in contract! From there, everything aligned beautifully. The timing worked out perfectly, and we even closed a week early. Couldn’t have asked for a smoother transaction or a happier ending for such an AMAZING family. 🥂🏠💛

📍 1001 46th St. #323 in Emeryville – Helped my wonderful sellers close this chapter so they can move on to their next adventure. ☺️

To my clients — thank you so much for letting me be part of your home buying and selling journeys. I’m truly grateful for your trust.
