Helping you move into your next chapter with clarity, confidence, and heart
I am a Fair Oaks based Real Estate Advisor serving Sacramento, Placer, and El Dorado counties. Most people see a real estate agent as someone who handles a transaction. I see my role differently. I guide homeowners through some of life’s most significant transitions, whether that means downsizing after decades in one home, relocating to the Sacramento region, or preparing for retirement.
Selling a home is rarely just about a price tag or a contract. It is about history, identity, family rhythms, and the quiet weight of future plans wrapped into one decision. As a real estate advisor who specializes in downsizing and transition moves, I help my clients make thoughtful, strategic decisions that protect both their equity and their peace of mind.
As the founder of I Love Fair Oaks, I am deeply connected to this community. I know the neighborhoods. I know the stories. I know the families who have lived here for decades and the new families who are just discovering why Fair Oaks is such a special place to call home.
Many of my clients are long-term residents who have built their lives here. When it comes time to downsize or move into the next chapter, it is not just a logistical decision. It is emotional. It is layered. It deserves care.
At the same time, families are relocating to Fair Oaks from other parts of the Sacramento region, the Bay Area, and Southern California because they are looking for lifestyle, connection, and community. Whether someone is leaving a home full of memories or arriving with fresh hope, the transition matters.
Real estate is never just about putting a sign in the yard. It is about understanding where people are in their lives and guiding them with clarity, strategy, and respect.
Who I Walk Beside (The Four Seasons)
I specialize in supporting homeowners in Fair Oaks and the greater Sacramento region through the decisive seasons of life:
- The Voluntary Downsizing: For long-time homeowners ready to trade more space for more life, using a clear 90-day preparation and listing roadmap.
- The Strategic Relocation: For retirees and families moving closer to loved ones or relocating to the Sacramento region, with a focus on equity protection, timing, and negotiation.
- The Crisis Move: Providing a steady and experienced hand to manage logistics, timelines, and decision-making when life shifts unexpectedly.
- The Generational Hand-off: Working alongside families, trustees, and executors to navigate estate-related sales with fairness, clarity, and stewardship.
Buyer Representation with Strategy and Transparency
I work as a buyer’s advisor and listing agent in Fair Oaks and throughout Sacramento, Placer, and El Dorado counties.
I approach the buying process with the same disciplined strategy I use for my sellers. In a changing real estate landscape, transparency is not optional. It is the highest form of service.
Before we ever tour a property, we begin with a Buyer Strategy Session. We review your goals, financing position, timeline, and market conditions. We also walk through the Buyer Representation Agreement together, so you have full clarity on fiduciary duty, compensation structure, and how your interests are protected from day one.
As a Fair Oaks real estate advisor serving the greater Sacramento region, I believe buyers deserve preparation, not pressure.
Where Strategy Meets Heart
This human first approach is built on a strong technical foundation.
- Deep Real Estate Roots: My work as a Fair Oaks real estate advisor is grounded in professional experience across the mortgage and title industries, as well as in San Francisco property investment. I understand how real estate contracts, lending, escrow, and negotiation work in practice, which allows me to guide clients with clarity and confidence.
- Creative Strategy: With a background in design, branding, and storytelling, I do not simply list homes. I strategically position properties in Fair Oaks and the greater Sacramento region to resonate with the right buyers and stand out in a competitive market.
- Local Soul: Fair Oaks is home. As the founder of I Love Fair Oaks, I share the lifestyle, history, and legacy that make this community meaningful. That local knowledge strengthens my ability to market homes not just as properties, but as part of a neighborhood story.
More Than an Agent. A Guide.
Writing my book was a professional declaration. You deserve to feel understood before you ever hire someone. Working with an author and transition specialist gives you a distinct advantage:
- Decisions based on strategy, not stress.
- A roadmap for the “emotional messy middle.”
- Confidence in timing, pricing, and negotiation.
- A calm, steady presence at every step.
Ever since earning my real estate license in the 1990s, it has been my goal to become one of the most trusted and respected real estate advisors in Fair Oaks. Not just successful in transactions, but known for integrity, preparation, and the way I care for the people behind each move.
Over the years, that vision has deepened. I am committed to being a top Fair Oaks real estate advisor by serving my clients with strategy, clarity, and heart, while staying closely connected to the community I call home.
While Fair Oaks is my primary focus, I also serve homeowners and buyers throughout Sacramento, Placer, and El Dorado counties. I work as a listing agent and buyer’s advisor in Fair Oaks and the greater Sacramento region, helping clients prepare, price, and position their homes strategically.
A Commitment to Professional Community
I believe in the power of a professional ecosystem. I frequently collaborate with fellow agents, attorneys, and financial advisors to ensure my clients have the best possible support team surrounding their transition.
