Let's Work Together
I grew up in the Oakland Hills and Alameda, attended Redwood Day School (when in Alameda), then attended and graduated from Berkeley High before earning my degree at the University of San Francisco.
The East Bay isn’t just where I work, it’s home. I know these neighborhoods on a personal level: the hidden streets, the school systems, the architecture, the shifts in each micro-market, and the lifestyle that makes this region special.
With 17 years in real estate and a true insider’s perspective, I guide my clients with a mix of deep local knowledge, polished service, and strategic expertise that only comes from living and working here my entire life.
A Lifelong Oakland Local With 17 Years of Professional Experience
Guided by Deep East Bay Roots
After closing, I help you get fully settled — connecting you with trusted local vendors, movers, inspectors, and neighborhood resources so your transition is smooth and stress-free from day one.

We begin with a conversation about your lifestyle, ideal neighborhoods, schools, commute needs, and timing. From there, I map out a tailored relocation plan so you always know what to expect and what comes next.
