About

I got my real estate salesperson's license in 2003 and my broker's license in 2005. I am a Bay Area native, and I've been serving the greater San Francisco Bay Area as a Realtor for over 19 years. I’ve been a top producing agent for years, and in 2022 I was ranked as a RealTrends/Wall Street Journal top 1.5% agent in the United States. I bring a wealth of experience that few agents can match - but beyond that, I care more about my clients than most other Realtors as well. Why? Because I get how important this is to you. Whenever someone chooses to work with me, I feel a deep sense of responsibility because of the high degree of trust they're placing in me. I make sure the transaction is handled with the greatest diligence and care, taking the weight off my client's shoulders and making sure that they get a result they are thrilled with.
