Why Work With Me When Buying a Home?
Local Knowledge That Gives You an Edge
Having lived in the Bay Area for over 20 years I know these communities.

Your home search should be as unique as you are. I start by listening to your goals, budget, and must-haves, whether that's walkability, top-rated schools, a spacious backyard, or proximity to BART. I'll curate a list of homes for sale in your preferred neighborhoods and arrange private showings that fit your schedule. I aim to streamline the process, so you only see homes that fit your criteria.

Buying a home is a significant investment, and there are many steps between searching and moving in. I'll guide you through every stage, from getting pre-approved for a mortgage to making an offer, negotiating terms, and closing the deal. My background in real estate, finance, and negotiation means you'll have an expert advocate in your corner, ensuring you get the best value and avoid common pitfalls.
Access to Down Payment Assistance and Financing Options
Understanding your financing options is key to a successful purchase for many buyers. I'll connect you with trusted local lenders who can explain your mortgage choices and help you get pre-approved quickly. I'm also familiar with down payment assistance programs available in California and the Bay Area, which can make homeownership more accessible, especially for first-time buyers.
Skilled Negotiation for the Best Outcome
The East Bay is one of the most competitive markets in the country and having a skilled negotiator on your side is essential. I'll help you craft a compelling offer, advise you on contingencies, and negotiate with sellers to ensure you get the best possible price and terms.
