Strategic Real Estate Guidance for Every Stage

I help clients navigate these decisions with hands-on experience as both a real estate investor and a licensed Realtor®.

Where Strategy Meets Real Estate

My approach combines practical, in-the-trenches knowledge with professional representation, so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.

for buyers

Luxury Market Navigation

Navigate Marin County's luxury market with confidence. I help buyers understand true value, long-term appreciation, and investment potential — not just list prices.

For Sellers

Strategic Positioning

Strategic pricing, smart remodeling, thoughtful positioning, and expert negotiation — especially during estate transitions or high-value sales where details matter.

For Investors

Portfolio Optimization

From 1031 exchanges to portfolio optimization, I advise investors to work with their accounts on tax-smart real estate strategies aligned with longterm goals.

For Buyers

BUYERS

Thoughtful Guidance for Confident Purchases

Whether you’re buying your first home or expanding your portfolio, the right strategy matters just as much as the right property.

First-Time Homebuyers

Feeling Confused by the Process?

Buying your first home shouldn’t feel overwhelming. I guide you through every step — from lender pre-approval to closing — so you understand exactly what’s happening, what to expect next, and how to make decisions with confidence rather than pressure.

San Francisco to Marin Transitions

Want Space Without Sacrificing Community?

Moving from San Francisco to Marin doesn’t mean giving up walkability or connection. I help families identify neighborhoods where kids can walk to school and friends’ homes, where daily life feels simpler, and where the “free-range childhood” Marin is known for becomes a reality.

Second Homes

Tired of Stock Market Volatility?

A second home in Marin isn’t just a lifestyle choice — it can also be a smart way to diversify your wealth. I help clients evaluate second homes as both personal retreats and long-term investments, balancing enjoyment with financial fundamentals.

Multi-Family Properties

Looking to Build Equity Faster?

Experienced investors know the value of well-located properties with upside potential. I help identify value-add opportunities — where improvements can increase income, build equity, and create options for refinancing or future 1031 exchanges.

For Sellers

Sellers

Strategy That Protects and Maximizes Your Value

In Marin County’s luxury market, how you prepare, price, and negotiate can make a meaningful difference in your net outcome.

Pricing & Net Proceeds

Worried About Leaving Money on the Table?

In Marin County, sellers working with professional representation often net significantly more than FSBO sellers. Strategic pricing, preparation, and negotiation are not expenses — they’re investments that frequently pay for themselves many times over.

Accurate Pricing Strategy

How Do You Know What Will Actually Sell?

I’ve completed formal real estate appraisal coursework and understand how buyers, lenders, and appraisers evaluate value. Combined with Compass’ powerful pricing tools, this allows me to position your home accurately — to sell efficiently and at the best price the market will support.

Compass Concierge

Need Repairs or Staging — Without the Upfront Cost?

With Compass Concierge, eligible sellers can access up to $50,000 at 0% interest to prepare their home for sale. No payments are due until closing, allowing you to present your home at its best without draining savings.

Private Exclusives

Want to Test the Market Before Going Public?

Marin County is a close-knit market where agents often know buyers waiting for the right home. Compass Private Exclusives allow you to discreetly market your property to qualified buyers before listing publicly on the MLS.

Negotiation & Advocacy

Want Someone Fighting for Your Best Price?

Strong negotiation protects your interests — not just on price, but on terms, timelines, and contingencies. I advocate for you throughout the process to secure the most favorable outcome possible.

For Investors

Investors

Building Wealth with Strategy, Not Guesswork

Real estate investing rewards preparation, patience, and informed decision-making.

Getting Started

Want to Build Wealth but Don’t Know Where to Begin?

I’ve built my own portfolio from a San Francisco duplex to multiple properties across the Bay Area. I help clients identify income-producing opportunities — from duplexes to multi-unit properties — that make sense financially and align with long-term goals.

1031 & Tax Strategy

Concerned About Capital Gains Taxes?

1031 exchanges can be powerful tools for deferring capital gains and accelerating portfolio growth. With personal experience in both standard and reverse 1031 exchanges, I help investors understand the process and ask the right questions of their CPA and exchange officer.

Understanding Real Estate Taxes

Feeling Overwhelmed by Tax Complexity?

Depreciation, capital gains, passive income rules, and cost basis can be complex. While I don’t replace your CPA, I help you understand the implications and identify smart questions so you can make informed, tax-aware decisions.

Property Performance & Management

Want Your Properties to Work Harder for You?

Drawing from years of managing my own rentals, I provide practical guidance on operations — from tenant relations and systems to banking setup, security deposits, and compliance with California landlord laws.

ADUs & Value-Add Projects

Thinking About Adding an ADU?

I’ve completed ground-up ADU construction, conversions, and extensive remodels myself. I guide investors and homeowners through feasibility, permits, contractors, and execution to add long-term value.

Short-Term & Vacation Rentals

Interested in Rental Income Beyond Long-Term Leasing?

Short-term rentals can be lucrative — if purchased and structured correctly. I help identify properties with strong rental potential and guide clients through setup, income strategy, and permitting. I’ve personally worked with the county to secure my own STR permit.

Long-Term Portfolio Planning

Ready to Grow Over Time?

Whether your next purchase is next year or five years away, thoughtful planning matters. I help clients map out realistic paths for portfolio growth that align with lifestyle goals and risk tolerance.
