Every once in a while, I go back and watch this video of Olivia when she was 5 years old.

Running a real estate business and managing a real estate office is something I take a tremendous amount of pride in, but it also comes with a lot of stress, emotion, long hours and responsibility. The last couple of months in particular have been challenging, with a market that has tested all of us in this business in different ways.

When things start to feel a little heavy, videos like this have a way of putting everything back into perspective for me.

I work hard because I care deeply about my clients, my agents and the business I’ve built. But more importantly, I work hard because of the people I get to come home to.

Watching 5-year-old Olivia reminds me how quickly the years go by, why I work as hard as I do, and why I can’t allow the difficult days to consume me.

Real estate is a big part of my life, and I’m incredibly grateful for the career I have built. But this little girl, and my family, will always be my “why.” ❤️

Wildfire Insurance Reform: Four bills signed in Sacramento last week are aimed at adding consumer protections for wildfire survivors. "Two of the bills aim to codify protections and remediation for smoke damage, and two more give wildfire survivors more leeway to seek mortgage forbearance on homes that are rendered uninhabitable by wildfires."

California became the first state to create standards for smoke damage claims, as it continues to craft new laws following the fires.

New season, new design trends. Think moody wood revival time, big (moody!) entrances, a lived-in look (yay!) and more. 🍂

Moody drenches, material tension, and reflective accents ahead.

Check it out - here is a fun & informative glimpse behind the scenes in an interview with the owner of Peanuts Deluxe Cafe! Who else ate there when they went to SJSU?! 🙋‍♂️

Richard Hobbs said that when he purchased Peanuts Deluxe Cafe in early 2025, he had more in mind than simply renovating the popular but “fully dilapidated” restaurant across from San Jose State University by slapping on a coat of paint and installing new booths and tables.

The greatest measure of success at the end of a transaction is not that the home has closed, but how the homeowners feel about it. It is an absolute honor to ensure that every buyer and seller feels as empowered, cared for and excited as they can possibly be in this process. Thank you ALL for your ongoing trust, loyalty & support. 👊
