Member of the Bridge AOR Community Foundation and Housing Committee
I became a licensed Realtor to help make a positive impact for individuals and families, helping them build generational wealth and sharing resources they can use to contribute to our local community. I believe that shelter for all is a right, not a privilege, and I guide my clients in leveraging down payment assistance, grant programs, savvy lenders and smart negotiating.
I invite folks of all income levels, employment status, documentation status, age and gender, sexual identities and cultural backgrounds to connect with me. I offer a judgment and pressure-free, no strings attached space to assist you.
I believe that decisions should ultimately be arrived at by the clients themselves through education about the process; Im here to advocate and guide but not direct. Do not mistake this for passiveness - I will fiercely champion for what is best for my clients and I am committed to authenticity and transparency in my relationships.
I prioritize spending locally, investing in and caring for my community, getting money into the hands of those who are aligned with these values, and sharing resources with individuals in need. For my buyers purchasing on Lisjan (Ohlone) native land, I give the first year of Shuumi to Sogorea Te' Land Trust in their names. I also support Oakland based mutual aid organizations including Town Fridge and Homies Empowerment.
My broker, Red Oak Realty, also prioritizes contributing to East Bay charitable organizations and has given over 1,500,000 to local groups that do not receive significant funding by other means.
For folks looking to relocate to the Bay, I was born and raised here and I love to share not only the beauty and diversity my home has to offer but our amazing restaurants; specialty retail shops; unbeatable art, music and creative community; stellar hiking trails; craft breweries; mind-blowing food trucks, parks, creeks and much more. Each city and neighborhood offer unique features and character, and I can help guide you in honing your search to fit your most desired criteria.
I look forward to helping you root into your new home and community!
