I was born and raised in Marin County, California; I now call Los Angeles home, where I've combined my passion for real estate with my love for architectural history. I have a particular affinity for historic homes, from the clean lines of a Mid-Century modern build to the charming detail of Craftsman and Victorian styles. I specialize not only in historic and restored homes but also in helping first-time home buyers and families discover their forever homes. I believe that a house is more than just a structure; it is where memories are made and dreams are realized. With my extensive knowledge of the Los Angeles and Marin County markets and a commitment to personalized service, I strive to make the home-buying and selling experience as seamless and enjoyable as possible.
