I help clients navigate these decisions with hands-on experience as both a real estate investor and a licensed Realtor®.
My approach combines practical, in-the-trenches knowledge with professional representation, so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
Navigate Marin County's luxury market with confidence. I help buyers understand true value, long-term appreciation, and investment potential — not just list prices.
Strategic pricing, smart remodeling, thoughtful positioning, and expert negotiation — especially during estate transitions or high-value sales where details matter.
From 1031 exchanges to portfolio optimization, I advise investors to work with their accounts on tax-smart real estate strategies aligned with longterm goals.
Whether you’re buying your first home or expanding your portfolio, the right strategy matters just as much as the right property.
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.
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.
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.
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.
In Marin County’s luxury market, how you prepare, price, and negotiate can make a meaningful difference in your net outcome.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Real estate investing rewards preparation, patience, and informed decision-making.
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 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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
Yes. I work with a wide range of clients — from first-time buyers navigating their very first purchase to seasoned investors expanding multi-property portfolios. The strategy changes, but the goal stays the same: making informed, confident decisions.
Absolutely. Many of the most successful outcomes come from early conversations. A discovery call helps you understand your options, timing, and next steps — even if your move is months or years away.
Marin County is my primary focus, but I also work with clients relocating, investing, or buying second homes. Through Compass’ national and international network, I provide trusted referrals beyond Marin when needed.
By combining accurate pricing, thoughtful preparation, strategic marketing, and skilled negotiation. I also offer access to Compass tools like Concierge and Private Exclusives to maximize exposure and value.
I bring real-world investment and property management experience to every transaction. That means understanding not just the purchase or sale — but how each decision impacts long-term wealth, taxes, and flexibility.
Whether you’re buying, selling, or investing, a thoughtful conversation can clarify your options and help you plan your next move with confidence.
