History
In a way, I feel like I've always done Real Estate. It was the main topic of conversation around our kitchen table. My folks were both real estate agents working in the Mason McDuffie office in Orinda where I was raised. After working various high tech jobs in and around the Bay Area, I decided I wanted to build my own business and followed in my parents footsteps. I first hung my license in the Kensington Mason McDuffie office, then worked with brokerages in Piedmont, Berkeley and Albany, finally ending up at the office where I am now a Broker Associate, Coldwell Banker in Berkeley. This experience gave me a wide-ranging education about the diverse neighborhoods in and around the East Bay.
Specialties
I specialize in helping my clients buy and sell wonderful homes--especially walkscore homes--in excellent East Bay neighborhoods. These days, home sales involve innovative internet marketing, including the use of social networks (twitter, facebook, yelp, linkedin), as well as the best access to MLS real estate information and good old fashioned hard-copy venues (ads, flyers, postcards). My team and I are skilled at creating buyer-magnet marketing campaigns. We also do everything you need to smooth the way from supervising every phase of the process to making sure you get the best deal possible and a successful close.
