TELL US ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY TO REAL ESTATE.
In 2003 I started in Mortgage as a Processor and worked my way up to Underwriter then I became a Loan Originator. I always wanted to become a real estate agent since that time and worked on getting my license.
DO YOU SPECIALIZE IN A SPECIFIC AREA?
Castro Valley, Hayward, Union City, Pleasanton, Dublin, San Ramon, Danville, Oakland, Pittsburg, Livermore, Walnut Creek, and all of Bay Area.
WHY CHOOSE YOU VS. ANOTHER AGENT?
Recently I had my listing in Castro Valley sell over asking. I listed it at $1.8 mill and we sold it at $2.15 mil. I will always go that extra step to get the highest for my sellers. On my recent offer accepted I got my buyers into their dream home in Oakland. We were up against a multiple offer situation and we won even though our offer wasn’t the highest I made sure to get their loan fully underwritten so that we can waive the loan contingency and go in with a very strong term and offer.
