Get to Know Me
"Difficult Takes a Day, Impossible Takes a Week."
My greatest concern is the satisfaction of my clients, which I believe includes the results as well as the process. Whether we are engaged in selling your current home or purchasing your next one, we are working with a portrait of your life. This includes comfort, security and sanctuary. There is also aspiration, risk and even a bit of compromise. Your portrait must be unique to you and your needs.
Access to hints, tips and aphorisms related to real estate is vast and now greatly compounded by electronic and print media. What can be missed in this avalanche is “you” -- your particular needs and aspirations. That’s why I appreciate every client as an opportunity to engage in a project that is both financially sound and intimately reflective of you.
I draw on more than real estate knowledge and skills, although they are certainly essential. I also bring the sensitivity and perception developed through my work in photography, carpentry and design, often for clients at the luxury end of the spectrum.
This is not to say that we would waste time with flights of fantasy. The real estate market is an unsympathetic editor. The shape of our design must dovetail with the realities of inventory, interest rates, budget, commute times, school districts, style preferences, remodeling skills and many other factors. These many details are often overwhelming and sometimes conflicting, but I can help cut through the chaos to help you reach the audience of sellers, listing agents and lenders that will meet your needs.
Real estate is an engagement in mutuality and cooperation. Buyers and sellers must find a balance that satisfies most of their needs. My talents can also be turned toward preparing a listing for the market, judging what will appeal to buyers, and discerning the quality of offers.
Our watchwords at Red Oak Realty are “seriously local,” which resonate with me as I identify as Oaklandish. I was born and raised here and have lived or worked at every point of the Bay Area compass over the years. But the East Bay is my home. I am firmly rooted here. I have watched the changes and growth of so many different communities all around the Bay and I use that invaluable experience to help you understand the subtleties of each neighborhood and micro-market.
Let’s get together and take this challenge of finding or selling a home to a level deeper and more authentic than “10 ways to improve curb appeal.” Let’s make it a work of art.
