Thirty years’ experience in the real estate business and my association with Coldwell Banker, has placed me in a unique position to help clients negotiate and obtain the best possible results when buying or selling a home. Whether helping sellers renovate, repair, and “fix to sell” or helping buyers visualize and create their dream home, I offer the expertise, knowledge and resources to help increase and maximize home values. Another tremendous advantage for clients is my performance as a consistent, year-over-year, top producer in Lamorinda and Coldwell Banker. My reputation and close relationships with local agents, plus an extensive “local” knowledge of the ins and outs of the Lamorinda community are invaluable when selling or finding my clients homes. A UC Berkeley graduate and Cal bear, I have lived and raised a family in the area for over thirty-five years! It is my pleasure to introduce clients to this wonderful community.
Resources
Preparing a home for sale before you go on the market is critical for the best possible outcome. In this market, buyers have little time to remodel a home and prefer to buy “turnkey” properties when possible. Minor repairs and updating often result in quicker and smoother sales. When preparing your home for sale (or assisting after you close escrow), I can offer you an extensive list of designers, stagers, contractors, painters, floor re-finishers, electricians, plumbers and home inspectors, who will be ready to help you achieve the highest and best price for your home.
Market Knowledge
One of my personal commitments is to see every home that becomes available on the market. By keeping track of local inventory, upcoming listings, coming soons, and off market listings, I’m able to move swiftly when that perfect home becomes available. I help my clients successfully navigate our unique market that can be heavily affected by time of year, the ups and downs of inventory supply, and interest rates. My clients benefit from my knowledge of the inner workings of the community and real estate market. I’ve got their back.
Local Agent
A strong, knowledgeable, local agent is key in Lamorinda. Both the geographic location of homes within Lamorinda and the way a home is situated and performs on its lot, are critical factors affecting price and length of time it takes a home to sell. My sellers benefit from my expertise and understanding of how to pre-inspect and prepare a home before sale. Identifying any inherent flaws in a home and helping my buyers pre-inspect and vet carefully before purchase is the core of my business.
