I got my real estate license in 2006, and I moved to San Diego from Los Angeles in 2015. Since then, San Diego has been my only market, and I've built my practice  across North County, in places like Carmel Valley, Rancho Penasquitos, UTC, Mira Mesa, Scripps Ranch, Rancho Bernardo, etc. Most of my clients find me through people who already know me, and referrals make up the bulk of my business.

I don't think of my job as just helping someone buy a house once they decide they're ready. Most of the time, I'm working with clients on a real estate plan that stretches out three to ten years, figuring out what they should buy now, what to hold onto, and what makes sense to sell or exchange later, not just closing one deal and moving on.

What really sets me apart isn't a service philosophy I picked up at a training seminar. It's that I've personally lived through almost every kind of real estate transaction there is. My family owns several rental properties, so I'm not theorizing when I talk about what a renovation actually costs or how to manage tenants without losing your mind. I've also spent years working with property held in trust, so I understand how titling, transfers, and a 1031 exchange actually work together in practice, not just in theory. When a client asks me about holding a property long term, I'm answering from experience, not from a textbook.
