Whether it's a single-family home or multi-family dwelling, residential property is where I shine in experience and negotiating skills. I also believe in listening to my clients and educating them on virtually every aspect of the real estate transaction process: from loan qualification, to appraising and marketing property, to disclosures, title and escrow. The secret to a successful close of escrow comes by working with a good offer; the skill is in knowing how to write or recognize one. I do. If you want a residential property specialist who will represent your interests with passion, integrity and attention to detail, then you’ve found the right person.
