Growing-up in San Jose, California, my mother, father, and older sister were all real estate brokers, so I had plenty of support and encouragement to become a realtor. Sitting around the dinner table, the discussion was always about depreciation rates and escrow forms rather than baseball games and soap operas. As it happened, the real estate market in Silicon-Valley turned out to be a great proving ground to polish my skills. 

Having a more physical and hands-on approach to life, I started house flipping at the age of eighteen. Purchasing fixer-upper homes and personally remodeling them gave me the instant gratification that I sought, as well as a good income. My knowledge of, and the ability to update a property’s amenities have significantly increased my knowledge and ability to advise others. I now have over thirty-eight years of experience in buying, selling, and reinvesting in all forms of real estate. 

Lately I have become more involved in commercial investments. As an investor myself, I find that commercial properties have a more predictable income and less turnover rate. Most businesses don't want to move unless it’s an absolute necessity. Commercial transactions tend to be based on an impersonal approach to the facts and figures. So it is easier to forecast the up-front costs, monthly maintenance, and potential profits. As an active commercial investor myself, I keep a watchful eye on the markets, and can advise my clients on the current timing and trends. 

For all of my clients, whether they are active or passive investors, I always recommend to own their home first, but also to invest in commercial real estate. Using specific formulas and analysis we can easily evaluate several different opportunities to search out the best investment for your specific goals. I am happy to share all of this hard-earned knowledge in guiding my client’s with their portfolio management. 

Thank you for the opportunity to earn your trust and loyalty,
