I've been a licensed realtor in the state of California since 1987. At that time I lived in the Bay Area. While during the intervening years, I was not always actively involved in real estate, it certainly remained a primary interest. I am a member of the local board of realtors, the California Association of Realtors and the National Association of Realtors. Networking with my fellow professionals allows me the opportunity to keep abreast of the most current developments in the field, thus providing you with the best service possible.

Tips for Buying a Home
Have a real estate professional guide you through the entire purchasing process. This person's responsibility is to help you negotiate with buyers as well as help you prepare your home for sale, market it locally or nationally and guide you through the complex paperwork of escrow and closing. Talk to more than one Realtor to determine his or her experience and willingness to work with you in order to find the perfect home. Do your own research as well. You can travel through your favorite areas and neighborhoods, read real estate sales publications, search the Internet, and talk to others who may know of properties that may fit your requirements.
Tips for Selling a Home
Some individuals consider selling their homes without a Realtor. These sales are typically called “for sale by owner” or FSBO and may sound appealing at first. However, the seller will be required to take on the time and all expense of selling the home that the Realtor would normally handle. A seller must also be able to handle the complex paperwork, pitfalls [and liabilities] of escrow and closing. It's important to understand that any error can be extremely expensive, so it’s definitely in a seller’s best interest to choose a real estate professional that is highly trained to market and sell his or her property.
