Get to Know Me

I was born and raised in Kensington and El Cerrito, live in Albany, and love the East Bay life. I feel lucky to live here and know it’s a challenging place to buy and sell real estate!
 
One of the best reasons to purchase and own real estate is to build wealth. In this fast-paced and high-priced market, it can be difficult to find a good property at fair value. When you have a deep understanding of the market, neighborhoods, and an eye for “house hacking,” it makes it so much easier. Having an agent who is on your side, looking for ways to help you in your quest, is invaluable.
 
From first-time buyers and creative financing to luxury properties, my relationships with the real estate community and local affiliates help pave the way for successful transactions for my clients. I have worked with FHA and 5% down clients who prevailed in competition, as well as with seasoned cash buyers in the upper end of the market. I’ve managed to get counter-offers for clients who had offered less than other buyers based on my reputation in the Realtor community. I represented the winning offer when there were 19 other offers. And I've negotiated credit backs during escrow when unexpected repairs were needed in a sellers’ market.
 
I feel extremely fortunate to have been raised in a real estate family, and to have the support of my father and his team, Todd Hodson and the TTL Team, legends in East Bay real estate. I’ve had the opportunity to experience many types of transactions in a short period of time, from marketing fixers to Mid-century stunners, and everything in between.
 
I love living in the vibrant Bay Area, the food, the people, and the outdoors. The best part of my job is meeting the interesting people who make up this dynamic region. If you're looking for an agent who will focus on your needs, answer all your questions, with no pressure and a wicked sense of humor, give me a call!

  • Henry is a fantastic agent to work with! We were on a very tight timeline to purchase a home, and he went above and beyond every step of the way. One evening after work, he spent over five hours with me from 5:00 pm to 10:30 pm showing 10 properties in Marin County. That level of dedication and energy is rare and speaks volumes about how much he cares for his clients. What sets Henry apart is his genuine commitment to finding the home that was right for us. Even after showing us the twentieth home and onward, he would still say, "Does this feel right or would you like to check out more?" His patience is truly unwavering! Thanks to Henry, we had a ve...

  • Henry and I go way back. I'm so glad we connected because he helped us get a killer deal on a house we would never even have considered. He showed us all around north & East, Richmond and got us some FHB discounts ($130k interest savings over 30 years) and $15k under asking. Thanks Henry!

    — Aaron G.
  • I could not recommend Henry any more highly - throughout the buying process he was patient yet persistent, knowledgeable about the market, and ultimately landed me in an incredible house in my preferred location at a great price! I was a first time home-buyer without much real estate knowledge, but had a rough idea of my goals for location, budget, and the potential for rental income. I felt fortunate to have Henry understand these goals, help refine them in this competitive market, and guide me every step up the way. I especially appreciated Henry's flexibility to always make himself available to answer my (many, many) questions and take my tour re...
