Professional Experience

I have sold residential real estate since 1977. I have sold property all over the Bay Area including Gilroy, Morgan Hill, Pleasanton, Livermore, Fremont and Union City. I have also ventured up the peninsula and sold in Mountain View, Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Redwood City and San Carlos. Technology has made selling real estate more a matter of finding what will work for the client and when it will work.

I have sold investment properties and multiple units specializing in tax deferred exchanges for many of my clients. Often, real estate is the best long term investment for an investment portfolio. I have had a property management company for over 30 years specializing in single family homes and small apartment buildings.
