Background information about the owner...

I get my inspiration as well as my love for Real Estate from my Grandfather. He believed in hard work, honesty and getting the best deal for all of his clients. As a licensed Real Estate Broker and REALTOR®, I too am committed to these principles. He was the President of the La Mesa Board of Realtors and had three offices in Southern California.

I have over 15 years of real estate, finance, and accounting experience including 3 years as a Finance Manager for Transamerica, 4 1/2 years as a Finance Director for 8x8, Inc. (a local hi-tech company), and more recently as a Business Manager in the sales department for the San Jose Mercury News. My experience includes pricing and sales strategies, financial analysis as well as mergers and acquisitions.

I earned the following degrees:

• BA in Economics with Distinction from the University of California, San Diego
• MA in Economics from the University of California, Davis

I am a member of the following professional real estate organizations:

• Silicon Valley Association of Realtors (SILVAR)
• California Association or Realtors (CAR)
• National Association of Realtors (NAR)
• Multiple Listing Service (MLS)

I hold the following designations:

• Graduate REALTOR® Institute (GRI)
• Accredited Staging Professional Realtor® (ASP)

The GRI Designation is a nationally recognized professional real estate designation. The GRI designation is a real estate industry designation similar to various industry designations such as CPA and CFP. The GRI designation is considered the nation’s number one real estate designation. For more information see www.grinetwork.org.

The ASP Realtor® Designation stands for Accredited Staging Professional. As an ASP, I have completed a rigorous training program covering specific techniques and concepts in home presentation and Staging. For more details, see www.stagedhomes.com.

My wife and I moved to Almaden Valley eight years ago, and are the proud parents of twins. We are grateful to raise our children in a region known for its safe neighborhoods and excellent schools. I am also a Silicon Valley native. May has been the controller for Heritage Bank of Commerce for the past seven years.

Why choose me as your broker/realtor…

I am an experienced full-time professional who specializes in home sales in Almaden Valley and surrounding areas. I recently represented a family in which I sold their home in the Evergreen area and represented them in obtaining a beautiful home here in Almaden Valley (see testimonials for details). My goal is to get the best price and terms for my clients as well as the smoothest transaction possible. I believe in hard work, and dedication to my clients' needs. My business is built upon a reputation of honesty, integrity, hard work, and service. Once escrow closes, I want our clients to feel that they worked with a broker who negotiated the best deal possible.

I would welcome the opportunity to assist you with your real estate needs.
