Real Estate expertly practiced with the heart of a teacher. For 12 years before becoming a Realtor® I taught 4th grade and I continue to leverage the patience and communication skills that carried me as a top-notch educator.

Born and raised in Berkeley, an Oakland homeowner since 1981, a proud Dad and Grampa, an ex-real estate investor, past president of two HOA’s—my extensive and varied real estate experience helps me provide skillful, seasoned, effective, goal oriented service with an intent focus on your unique situation. I am a trusted consultant and Top Producer year after year because of my integrity, expertise, reputation, and work ethic which consistently garner the loyalty of my clients.

I am a recognized Neighborhood Specialist and a proud Zillow 5-Star Premier Agent with a plethora of positive reviews. Serving the East Bay’s most discerning buyers, sellers, and investors, I love to educate, facilitate, and negotiate the path to homeownership, lucrative real estate investment, or profitable disposition of a home.

I am a proficient Real Estate specialist recognized for a special congeniality that builds positive and productive relationships -- not just with my clients, but with everyone involved in a successful real estate transaction.

My personal enthusiasm for housing and neighborhoods began in my early twenties when I was studying Urban Planning and running a professional house painting business in Seattle. After graduating from the University of Washington with a major in Community, Environment and Planning and a minor in Geography,

I worked as an Analyst for a Berkeley-based economic development consulting firm. During that time I received formal training in comparative market analysis, financial feasibility studies, and gained a deep knowledge of the Bay Area housing market. I am a proud Berkeley homeowner and landlord excitedly awaiting the day when my toddler becomes the 4th generation in our family to attend Berkeley public schools.
