Growing up, I got a real education watching my dad, a true perfectionist, build custom homes. That gave me a solid appreciation for residential real estate and the ability to spot the difference between a good house and one that's truly special.
I've been called Orange County's "least annoying real estate agent," and I take that as a compliment. My whole approach is about being zero-pressure and always putting my clients first. For me, success isn't just about the numbers; it's about how well my clients do in the market and how genuinely happy they are once they've settled in and had time to reflect on the whole experience.
I really enjoy helping clients through big life changes, and I've got a knack for marketing and negotiating unique, architecturally significant properties. One of my biggest strengths is keeping deals together, even when things get tricky.
My business runs almost entirely on referrals. My clients tend to stick with me over the years and happily send their friends, co-workers, and family my way. I think that comes down to building trusted, open relationships and just plain hard work. As I often say, "It's pretty simple: If your home sells for more money, in a shorter period of time, with the least amount of hassle, and the person you hired to manage that process was understanding of your needs and enjoyable to work with, you're probably going to look back at that decision and be happy about it."
When I'm not working, you'll find me out on the hiking trails, volunteering with Big Brothers Big Sisters of OC and the Irvine Ranch Conservancy, or supporting global health and humanitarian groups like the International Rescue Committee and the Himalayan Cataract Project.
Specialties include:
Life transition coordination, consulting services, discreet purchasing, relocation, trade-up strategies, international real estate, income properties, negotiation, marketing, probate, trust sales, and strategic planning.
