TELL US ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY TO REAL ESTATE. WHY DID YOU BECOME A REAL ESTATE AGENT?
It’s been quite a journey that began in 2005 in residential real estate, where I first cut my teeth in the industry. Over time, my career expanded into commercial real estate, giving me a broader understanding of the market and allowing me to serve a more diverse set of clients and transactions. I’ve been fortunate to work with some of the top names in the industry, starting with Pacific Union, where I honed my skills, before moving to Compass, where I deepened my expertise in both residential and commercial sectors. Now, I’m proud to bring all of that experience to Sequoia, where I continue to help clients navigate the complexities of the real estate market with a focus on tailored solutions, data-driven insights, and client-first service.
Which areas do you focus on?
My experience spans multiple facets of the real estate world, starting with luxury residential properties, where I’ve helped clients buy and sell high-end homes with a focus on exceptional service and attention to detail. Beyond luxury residential, I’ve been deeply involved in ground-up development, working with builders and developers from the early stages of planning all the way through to completion. This experience has provided me with a strong foundation in project management, construction processes, and land use.
Additionally, I’ve navigated the intricacies of the office and retail sectors, working with investors and business owners to secure prime locations and maximize the value of commercial properties. Whether it’s finding the perfect office space or helping businesses establish a retail presence, I bring a comprehensive understanding of the market and what drives value in these dynamic sectors.
