THe current real estate market is evolving
day by day, don't worry... I've got a plan to show you how to navigate

let me help you.

is when you need to

or sell your home

the best time to buy

Regardless of what the news says, life will tell you when you are ready to make your next (or even your first!) real estate purchase. Think of any time you have made a move in your life. I have found that it's usually centered around a life change: moving out of a family home, buying your first place, getting married, having a baby, relocating, moving your last baby out on to college or adulthood, and so on, and so on. Because of this, there is a buyer for every home. And it happens in the time it needs to happen. 

After an almost 2-decade career in the California real estate market, I have seen a few shifts, both up and down and have still helped almost 1,000 buyers or sellers navigate the process of buying or selling a home. I have learned that the real estate market sets the price. A home sells for what a seller is willing to sell it for and what a buyer is willing to pay for it. Regardless of the current interest rates for a loan, the economy, or the amount of supply or demand, the driving force behind what the "right" price is, is "why" a seller or buyer is making the change. 

There are a lot of steps to buying or selling a home. As much as I wish you can Google "how to buy/sell a home" there is not quite a full guide book that could possibly prepare you how to navigate. The level of experience a RealtorĀ® possesses does not come from a transaction going right, it comes from everything that could possibly go wrong! 

Don't let the current temperature of the real estate market stop you from living your life. 

Whatever your next move is,
I'm here to help you.

the right time to buy or sell

I can't predict the future housing market, but I can tell you my experience with the past housing markets

I worked a career in retail and learned the best in customer service at Nordstrom, where I worked on an off throughout my start in real estate (Men's Sportswear / Men's Furnishings) Team 434 and 429

2000

A client offered me a job in luxury apartment leasing and I moved to the Silicon Valley, the new development was what is now Santana Row, a luxury mixed use development with restaurants, retail, and both for sale and for rent housing

2004

I passed the state exam and earned my California Real Estate Salesperson License! I "temp'd" for new home construction builders and developers throughout Northern California and landed my first new home sales associate position in Willow Glen (San Jose, California), selling hillside, 3-story town homes

2005

I moved back to my hometown in Sacramento and sold Single Family Homes for a national homebuilder in Folsom / El Dorado Hills. A client that purchased a home offered me a job in the Sacramento Urban Core where I worked for developers selling luxury highrise/midrise condos, townhomes, and 3-story single family homes throughout Midtown / Downtown, and West Sacramento neighborhoods.

2007

The market shifts... We experience "The Great Recession" and there truly was a housing crash due to a "mortgage meltdown" and an excess of housing inventory. It didn't feel like it at the time, but I earned my experience during this downturn. 

Even in a recession, there is a buyer for every home. It was my job to play match maker and help navigate the obstacles to homeownership. I represented both sellers (and whole buildings or communities) and individual buyers during this time. 

2009

humble beginnings!

see, dreams do come true! crazy, huh?

Worked with a boutique independent real estate broker in Sacramento

2011

Took a break from real estate and moved to Napa Valley

2013

Went back into the home building industry and moved back to the Bay Area. Sold new construction homes in the Tri-Valley and Central Valley. 

2015

Went to work for a luxury home builder, representing an award winning housing community in Silicon Valley. 

2018

Started by own independent real estate practice brokered by eXp Realty, a global real estate firm.
