about me

I graduated from UC Irvine, where I earned a bachelor’s of science in Sociology and International Studies with an emphasis in Business and Marketing.

I started my real estate career in 2015 on an award-winning team. I later went on to pursue a career on my own and have since expanded my territory to include the Bay Area, Orange County, and Los Angeles to meet the needs of my clients. To date, I’ve sold over 120 homes all over California totaling over $200 Million in sales. I’ve sold single family homes, condos, townhomes, multi-units, farms, and even land. I have worked with buyers and sellers with a variety of needs, from first-time homebuyers shopping for their starter home to experienced investors looking for profitable opportunities. I work equally with buyers and sellers, so I know what both sides are looking for in any transaction, which helps me in getting top dollar for my sellers and offers accepted for my buyers.

I have worked at some of the largest brokerages in California - Compass, Coldwell Banker and now EXP Realty, which has allowed me to expand my network tremendously. I am widely respected by my colleagues for my professional approach to every real estate transaction. I have built a strong reputation among the large network of agents, which has proved invaluable, as these relationships have helped me beat the competition on numerous occasions.  

Motivation
What is your motivation for moving? What triggered this search?

Location
Do you need to be in a good school system? What about proximity to work or public transit, work shuttles, or the freeway?

Affordability
The most common rule of thumb to determine how much you can afford to spend on housing is it should not be no more than 30% of your gross monthly income, which is your total income before taxes and deductions.

Size
How much space are you looking for? How many bedrooms and bathrooms minimum? Is parking important? What about yard space? Do you have a dog or perhaps you’ve always wanted a backyard herb garden?

Timeline
What is your living situation now? Do you have a lease that’s ending soon? What if we found the perfect house tomorrow? How soon would you be able to move?

Must Haves
It is important that you have a 2nd bathroom? A 2-car parking garage? A double-sink vanity? What are some non-negotiables?

Pre-Underwritten vs. Pre-Approval

The key to getting my clients’ offers accepted with the best terms is by getting my clients Pre-Underwritten, which is one step above getting Pre-Approved. The pre-underwriting process is similar to a traditional mortgage process for underwriting home loans, however it is completed before the homebuyer identifies a property and before they make an offer. The lender will review income, assets, credit reports, and all financial statements. Once the underwriter is satisfied with your credit package, a fully underwritten pre-approval letter is issued. This process can take up to two weeks to complete, but once we have your pre-underwriting approval, we can begin writing offer without a financing contingency, making our offer much stronger. This is really helpful in the event there is strong interest on the property you like and we have to compete with other buyers.

So whenever possible, I always recommend that my buyers get Pre-underwritten from the very beginning.

Realscout

I am always learning and implementing new technology into my business to ensure my clients are getting the most seamless experience possible. Currently, I am using RealScout to assist my clients with their home search. It is directly linked with the MLS, which is the search tool that we use as Realtors. Through RealScout, I am able to help my clients find matching homes as soon as they come on the market. Within RealScout, my clients also have the ability to share notes with me on specific properties and request tours.

RESPONSIVENESS

If there’s one theme you’ll notice from reading reviews from my past clients, it is my responsiveness. Timing is extremely important in real estate, so I make it a priority to respond quickly to all client requests. This can vary from showing requests and disclosures requests to questions about specific properties and neighborhoods. If you find a property you like, please feel free to call, text, or email me with anything you need to know about the property and my team or I will back to you as soon as possible.

DISCLOSURES

When a seller lists their home for sale, they are required to complete a number of forms disclosing information that would impact the property’s value or safety. Sellers are legally required to disclose these things - and by fully documenting them on the disclosure statements, sellers are better protected from future legal action.

As the buyer, if you find a home you’re interested in, I can request the disclosure package to learn more about the property. The disclosure package will contain information such as any defects, renovations, or unpermitted work that the seller might be aware of, any insurance claims that have taken place in the recent past, whether the property is located in an area that is prone to natural hazards, and much more. Most disclosure packages are 100-300 pages long and can look intimidating. That is why I’ve prepared a Disclosure Package Guide to make the task a little less daunting for my buyers.

Once you are ready to submit, I will also review the disclosures myself to look for any issues with the property before we submit our offer.
