When It's Time for A Change, You Just Know.
Maybe you've been dreaming of home ownership for a while, but now there's an urge to make that dream a reality. Or the thought of having your new baby share a room with your toddler (and none of you ever sleeping again!) has you breaking out in a cold sweat. Or your kids are grown and you find your thoughts drifting to a smaller space with a lower-maintenance yard.
You're excited for what comes next, but apprehensive about how to get from here to there. As a NAR member specializing in the Inner East Bay, I'm here to help. I'm an exceptional listener, a deft negotiator, and a tenacious advocate for my clients. I thrive in the role of trusted advisor and am honored to guide you through one of the biggest decisions of your lives: buying or selling your home.
For Buyers:
The East Bay real estate market is challenging and dynamic, but your home search doesn’t need to be filled with headaches and heartbreak. Buying a home is exciting, and it should feel energizing and fun - yes, even in a “seller’s market”! I’ll work with you to hone in on the right neighborhood for your goals and budget, equip you with market analysis so you know exactly what it takes to get your offer accepted, and guide you through the escrow process so you feel calm and confident every step of the way.

For Sellers:
Saying goodbye to a home you love but that no longer meets your needs can be emotional. I love hearing your stories of what makes your house a home, and amplifying those attributes to attract the widest audience and ultimately, the next family who will make it their own. I’ll also advise you on the right updates to make (and which to skip) to ensure buyers see your home’s full value and make a compelling offer. Once you’re in contract, I’ll handle the details throughout the escrow process so you can stay focused on your future.

About Me:
I'm an East Bay native, Cal graduate, and 20+ year Oakland resident, making a home in some of “The Town's” most popular neighborhoods including Rockridge, Montclair, Lake Merritt, and now Glenview, where I live with my son Miles, my daughter Stella, and our French Bulldog Peanut. My kids’ dads Chris and Ben live nearby, and share my pride and gratitude for the unique “modern family” we’ve created.
During my first career in tech, I developed a passion for improving processes and adopting tools that clear away the busywork and free me up to best serve my clients. Whether I’m reviewing paperwork with you via Zoom, tracking next steps for our project in Asana, or checking in with a lender from my Apple Watch, you can be sure I’m bringing the necessary technology to the table for a smooth & successful transaction.
I'm also passionate about creating a more just world, and have pledged to donate a portion of every transaction to organizations actively working to provide housing for all, establish anti-racist housing policies and practices, and help more people of color achieve home ownership and build generational wealth.
