Background Information



When I was growing up, I watched my parents build wealth through their real estate purchases and sales.  We were a typical middle class family.  My parents were willing to purchase, restore and then re-sell older, distressed properties.  Through their hard work and risk taking, they created wealth and built security for our family.  Watching them as a young person, I gained a healthy respect for the power of home ownership.  I believe that home ownership is one of the keys to creating wealth for the average person.   Home ownership builds wealth, offers significant tax advantages and satisfies the basic need of shelter.

The San Francisco real estate market is a dynamic one.  The laws of supply and demand work in favor of property ownership.  Many people want to live here — high demand.  No new land is being created and in fact land use restrictions are more the norm — fixed supply.  In up market or down, this fundamental supply/demand relationship has held true in San Francisco.  Short term volatility will always be apparent but a long term buy and hold strategy has been and will continue to be an effective one here in the Bay Area.

Whether I am working with a buyer or a seller, my responsibilities are to guide the client through the process easily and competently while providing honest feedback.   For buyers, my background and degree in finance will help you through the mortgage process and my knowledge of current market conditions will help you to identify excellent properties and develop long-term value.  For sellers, I offer a seventeen-year background in business management and contract negotiation.  The skills that I've developed through my career will help you generate a top price for your property while respecting the complex issues that enter into contractual agreements.
