Bio
Real Estate Broker | 24 Years of Excellence in San Diego County
I'm not just another agent—I'm a licensed Real Estate Broker, the highest level of professional expertise in real estate. Think of me as having the equivalent of a law degree in real estate transactions, negotiations, and strategy—without ever needing to take the bar. With 10x the education, licensing, and hands-on experience compared to the average agent, I bring unmatched depth to every deal. Over 24 years, I've facilitated 500+ transactions totaling more than $300 million in volume, consistently delivering exceptional results for buyers, sellers, investors, and developers.
My expertise covers:
Residential (first-time buyers, luxury homes, VA loans for our elite armed forces)
Investment properties (fix & flips, rental portfolios, short-term rentals)
Commercial, land development, ADUs, and value-add projects
I practice what I preach: I personally own and manage multiple rental properties, short-term rentals, and flips—leveraging real estate to build lasting wealth, just as I've coached hundreds of clients (now friends) to do the same.
