Micro-Markets & Neighborhoods
San Francisco has many diverse neighborhoods that vary significantly in value, making being in touch with the micro-markets vital when making smart property investments. As a San Franciscan, I understand what it is to love the community you live in – to belong to a neighborhood and be a part of the local culture long-term.

The Art of Negotiation
You've finally found the perfect property in an ideal neighborhood, and now it's time to make an offer. For some buyers, the negotiation phase can be a tense aspect of the home buying process – but it doesn't have to be.
There are many ways to approach negotiations. It's not always about making the lowest offer; sometimes, it's about being competitive and getting the home you want. I work closely with my clients to determine a negotiation strategy that aligns with their goals. By pre-determining our approach ahead of time, my buyers can relax while I skillfully navigate the negotiation process on their behalf.

Off-Market Homes
Having the right connections and a solid network gives me the inside track on exclusive off-market properties. As a result, nearly 30% of my home buyers discover homes before they ever hit the market. Below are just a few examples of properties I helped my clients obtain.

Investment Strategies
Traditionally, when people think of building wealth, they tend to think of the stock market. While stock investments can have a tremendous short-term return, real estate investments are a fantastic approach for longer-term investments. For example, mortgage relief, retirement pads, and post-college properties are great for people who enjoy the continuity of living and investing in the city. Tax write-offs regarding property depreciation also provide an excellent long-term financial incentive. Whether you want to diversify your financial strategy or build personal or family wealth, real estate is a great way to invest in the future.

To me, the real estate investment experience is more than just buying a property – it's also about investing in the local community and helping my clients enjoy the home-buying journey.
Buyer Story
John is nothing short of amazing! We were introduced to him through a friend and had the best possible experience a young couple can have buying their first house. John found the right house for us after two weeks of looking at homes. John perfectly executed the offer. He positioned the initial bid exactly where it needed to be. We won against 20 other offers after coming up just a little bit in one additional round of bids.
John brought in the right team of people to complete the transaction. He introduced us to an excellent lawyer, the right lender, a speedy appraiser, even an arborist to help deal with a problematic tree in the backyard through his network. Working with John, we were in contract on the house within three weeks and had the keys to the home seven days after that. (Zero to keys in under 30 days in the chaos that is San Francisco real estate). On top of all this John is the kindest person and best guide you'll ever meet. As first-time buyers, we had many silly questions and even sillier ideas, but John gently kept us informed and on track the whole way. We expect to be in this house for a long time, but we'll be giving John a call if we ever move.
Thanks so much, John!
