He was born and raised in Burlingame and honestly believes the Peninsula is one of the best places to call home, which is why he is chosen to raise his family here. His lifelong knowledge of the San Francisco Peninsula and over 15 years’ experience as a realtor make him uniquely qualified to help you buy or sell a home at the best possible price. He is proud to be among the Top 5 Realtors in San Mateo County out of 2,900 agents and the #1 Realtor in Burlingame every year since 2014. Last year, he was also the #2 agent in San Mateo. In 2020 he was ranked in the top one hundred out of over 1.5 million agents nationwide by the Wall Street Journal’s RealTrends. This reflects the results and the high level of personalized service he provides for his clients. He does not just show up at the beginning and end to close a deal; he is involved throughout the entire process, delving into the details, and keeping his clients informed. He spends as much time as it takes to get to know you and understand what is most important to you. He could not do this without his top-notch team. His experienced and attentive team will support you throughout the entire process. In addition to his close working relationship with his clients, he considers one of his greatest assets to be his expert negotiation skills. Combining his training at Harvard Law School’s Program on Negotiation with years of challenging multiple-offer negotiations, he can help most of his buyers get their first offer accepted, making the buying process efficient, realistic, and fun. On average, he helps our sellers sell their home in under 7 days compared to the county average of 20 days. Selling more than one home a week (representing both sellers and buyers) keeps him very in tune with the market and being well-connected with top industry professionals gives his clients an added advantage in this competitive marketplace. Buying a home is one of the most important decisions you will ever make and is often emotional and time-consuming. That is why he is developed a streamlined three-step system to manage your time efficiently, which includes an initial call, a deep dive on Zoom about neighborhoods and relevant data, and an in-depth neighborhood tour. Once we determine your goals, he combines his insider knowledge of the area with a data-driven approach to identify the home that is right for you. He only wants to show you homes you are going to love and want to buy. Throughout the home-buying journey he will guide you every step of the way so that the process is as smooth and seamless as possible. For sellers, he creates a personalized marketing strategy based on extensive market research and statistical analysis. We make selling your home less stressful by preparing it to look its absolute best, managing every listing detail and providing support throughout the entire process. You will be able to leverage his network of trusted professionals including photographers, general contractors, and home inspectors. Real estate is about more than closing a deal—for him, it is about creating long-lasting relationships with our clients and being a resource for years to come. Fostering community is important and to this end he has created 650 Stories—an interview series featuring the amazing people of San Mateo County. He contributes to many community events throughout the year, has served on the board of several local foundations, and supports many local charities and nonprofits. When he is not working, you will find him camping, backpacking, relaxing with his family and our goldendoodle puppy, and eating an occasional chocolate pizza from Copenhagen Bakery on Burlingame Avenue. My hope is to be more than just your real estate agent; I want to be someone you run into and recognize as a friend. He believes what has allowed him to succeed in one of the most competitive real estate markets in the country is his commitment to doing the right thing for each client. He looks forward to collaborating with you.
