What I do best: I consider myself a problem solver and am able to expertly guide my clients through every avenue when it comes to real estate purchases. As a very proficient negotiator, I strive to obtain the best value for my exclusive clientele whether it is their first home or their last. My intention: My desire is to elevate the professionalism in the real estate industry by providing a prime example of a combination of integrity, excellence, and service. Education: Having graduated from SFSU with an International business degree and living/traveling aboard for a few years throughout Asia. I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to live in China for a couple years where I learned Mandarin and achieved one of my life long dreams of studying from one of the most renowned martial artist in the world.

Real Estate Agents questions, answered by experts

As a seller, it might feel tempting to skip the appraisal, especially in a hot market that sees a lot of all-cash offers. While you can technically forgo it and hope for an all-cash offer, you’ll likely have a very tough time selling without an appraisal. 

In addition to protecting lenders from risk, appraisals also protect buyers’ investments. As such, it isn’t typically recommended for buyers to skip appraisals.

Yes, a seller is legally required to disclose any known fire damage when selling a house, including damages that were repaired. That includes damages to structural components and all major systems, as well as water damage, chemical damage, and smoke damage related to the fire. Sellers use a property disclosure statement, which is regulated by each state individually, to disclose fire damage.

Yes, the age of your home can impact its value. However, age is just one of many factors that will have an effect. An older home may be perceived as needing more work and maintenance, but if you’ve kept up with repairs or done any renovations, this will increase its value. Buyers will also consider the size of the house, location, and how nearby homes are priced. Lastly, value also depends on whether it’s a buyer or seller’s market.

Avoid using a home equity loan for non-essential or short-term expenses like vacations, luxury purchases, or temporary financial fixes. It’s best to reserve home equity loans for long-term investments, such as home improvements, that can add value to your property or financial position.

In many cases, a stamped concrete patio will make your property more valuable. Not only will you and your family likely enjoy it, but many buyers will adore the appearance and utility it brings to your yard and might be willing to pay a premium for it. Stamped concrete is also highly durable and can last a long time with proper care, and it’s relatively easy and affordable to repair. Savvy buyers should understand these upsides, which could increase interest in your property overall.
