What makes you stand out?

With decades of experience, over 500 5-star reviews and hundreds of successful transactions, I bring a confident presence to what can be an emotional and stressful process. My clients describe me as detail-oriented, knowledgeable and fiercely protective of their best interests. I blend sharp negotiation skills and strategy with a warm, personal touch, and that balance makes the difference to my clients.

What is your professional superpower?

I have developed the ability to assess situations clearly, seeing both the big picture and the smallest details simultaneously. I can often anticipate how offers and negotiations are likely to unfold before they even happen, which allows me to guide clients with clarity and confidence. Whether positioning a home for market or navigating complex decisions, I make sure my clients feel informed, empowered and advocated for every step of the way.

What do you expect to see in Southern California real estate this year?

Buyers are more discerning, and move-in-ready homes with outdoor space, functional floor plans and strong lifestyle features are in high demand. While some were hoping for significant drops in interest rates or real estate prices, we are seeing a stable yet competitive market largely due to persistent low inventory, especially in desirable areas like the South Bay. Because affordability continues to be a challenge, buyers are taking their time and scrutinizing value carefully, which means that pricing strategy, property presentation and professional representation matter more than ever. Sellers who invest in some preparation and partner with an experienced, dedicated agent will be best positioned to attract serious offers, stand out in the market and see the sale through to a successful closing.
