Thinking about buying a property in the East Bay? Whether you’re eyeing #Piedmont, #Oakland, #Rockridge, or #Berkeley, I know how unrealistic  it can be to find time to check out every house that seems perfect especially if you're creating the next great AI unicorn.

That’s where I come in—I am happy to do live video tours or post home video tours tailored just for you, pointing out what you’ll love or want to avoid in a home.

Having lived all over the Bay Area, including Silicon Valley and San Francisco, I’ve got my finger on the pulse of neighborhood trends, building code changes, and new developments. This intell helps uncover hidden opportunities and gives you the insights needed to make smart buying decisions.

If you’re in search of a buyer’s agent who truly goes the extra mile, let’s chat! I can help you find properties at a discount or those not yet on the open market (thanks to Compass' awesome technology and network), so you can avoid those intense bidding wars that are still happening in many areas even in late 2025.

Not sure if I’m the right match? Tell me what you’re looking for in an agent, and I’ll happily point you in the right direction.
