My Background:

Born and raised in the Bay Area, I spent 11 years in Startup Technology Sales before becoming a full-time Realtor. Having personally invested and done renovations in the Bay Area, I wanted to help busy colleagues in the Bay Area technology industry find their dream home by leveraging tech, data and insights. I specialize in educating my clients on the process of buying, selling, and investing in the Bay Area. 50 families have been helped in the last 15 months which positions me as a Top 1% Realtor.

Looking forward to helping you!

I came to Mountain View last year and was blown away. I will bring my family over someday, show them around.

Dad purchased a home in the Monta Loma neighborhood in 1967 for $20k. Today that same home is worth 2.5 million. Kids who live there today won’t be able to live there tomorrow unless they make six or seven figures. It’s a transient community if you cannot afford. The cool part about Mtn. View is that it’s ground zero for the beginning of Silicon Valley. Without it, it would be a very different world.
