SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA REAL ESTATE ATTORNEY
Born in Berkeley and raised in Oakland, I am deeply rooted in the Bay Area’s unique real estate landscape. Equipped with an extensive background in real estate strategy and legal counsel, I am a dedicated professional who specializes in navigating and resolving complex transactions to achieve optimal outcomes. My proven record speaks to my commitment to ensuring both precision and due diligence in every engagement.
​
My approach to real estate is grounded in empirical analysis and practical execution. Clients benefit from my comprehensive suite of services, encompassing everything from property acquisition to intricate financial negotiations. Each endeavor is approached with a focus on risk mitigation and value maximization.
​
I hold dual undergraduate degrees in Political Science and History from the University of California, San Diego. I earned my Juris Doctor from Santa Clara University with a Certificate in International Law, which led me to spend time abroad enrolling in specialized legal coursework at the University of Oxford as well as the University of Vienna.
Professionally, I have held pivotal roles in diverse sectors of the industry. My tenure as the Operations Manager of an investment-property-focused brokerage provided me with a rigorous understanding of property valuation and market dynamics. My time as a Litigator has taught me the unique nuances of tenancy laws specific to the Bay Area, especially in cities and counties that follow Just Cause Eviction. Concurrently, my experience in fintech as a Mortgage Advisor has endowed me with a nuanced perspective on financial structuring and optimization. Today, as an Attorney, Mortgage Broker, and Realtor, I amalgamate these proficiencies to deliver unparalleled real estate services.
​
Beyond transactional proficiency, I am a fervent advocate for forward-thinking real estate practices. My active involvement in volunteering for the City of Emeryville as a former Planning Commissioner, past Chair and current Affordable Housing Committee member champions sustainable homeownership and community development. My overarching mission is to elevate the Bay Area's real estate industry standards by harnessing my diverse expertise to the wider community's advantage, in essence democratizing real estate knowledge and services to support my clients.
