My Story

When people ask me what I can’t live without I always tell them FAMILY, FRIENDS and REAL ESTATE! My prior career was in banking and the transition from the world of finance to the world of real estate was suggested by my good friend who said it would be an excellent fit. As I was in search of a new career and in need of a flexible schedule, I made the transition and in my opinion the best decision of my life. My passion derives from the joy I receive when I help my clients find their dream home or when I’m able to locate a lucrative investment for their portfolio. My goal is to close your transaction in the most time efficient and finance friendly way possible. Utilizing my 20+ year financial background as well as my extensive marketing, sales and customer service experience, I negotiate incredible deals for my clients. To date I’ve closed over 300+ transactions which have included residential, income property, bank owned and commercial sales and leasing. Whatever your real estate dream encompasses, I promise I will strive to provide you with the best service.

Everyone talks about the down payment... but nobody mentions THIS. 👇

Here's exactly what it costs to close on a $450K home:

💰 Down payment (FHA @ 3.5%): $15,750
📄 Loan origination fee: $3,250
📋 Title fees: $1,800
🏡 Property tax: $4,500
🏘️ HOA fees: $500
🛡️ Homeowners insurance: $1,500

Total out-of-pocket at closing: $27,300

A lot of buyers budget for the down payment and stop there — but closing costs can add thousands more. Knowing the full number ahead of time makes the whole process a lot less stressful.

🏡 UNDER CONTRACT — and here's how we got here.

In today's market, buyers have pumped the brakes. Higher rates. Inflation. Uncertainty. Homes that once flew off the market are sitting. But that doesn't mean giving up — it means showing up.

Every. Single. Weekend. Open houses. Door hangers throughout the neighborhood. National TV marketing. 84,000+ views and counting.

This sweet 2BD/1BA cul-de-sac cottage — complete with avocado trees 🥑, citrus, pomegranate, a kitchen skylight, and a garden retreat out back — found its person. And it happened because we stayed consistent and marketed it like it deserved.

That's the job. 📲

✅ SOLD — 1014 Sandhurst | Vallejo, CA

Vallejo homeowners — in today's market, the right strategy makes all the difference. 🏡

Here's what most people don't see before the "For Sale" sign goes up.

Before this beautiful 4-bedroom home ever hit the market, we got to work — coordinating contractors, overseeing updates, selecting the perfect paint colors, and bringing in a professional stager to make every room shine. We treated this home like it was our own, because that's what our sellers deserved.

The result? A stunning, market-ready home on a private quarter-acre lot with open-space views that stood out from the competition and got sold.

In a slower market, preparation and a solid plan aren't optional — they're everything. If you're thinking about selling, let's build a strategy that gets your home noticed, priced right, and sold without it sitting.

📲 DM me or drop a comment below — let's talk about what the right plan looks like for your home. 🥂
