Make smarter
real estate decisions.
I help Bay Area buyers and sellers figure out what matters, what doesn’t, and what to do next so you can make the right move for your life and your future.
Real estate gives you a lot to think about.
I help you figure out what actually matters.
Should we buy this house? How much should we offer? Is that inspection issue actually a problem? Which improvements are worth making before we sell? Should we sell now or wait…
There is no shortage of information when buying or selling a home. The harder part is understanding what matters for your specific situation and making a decision when the answer isn’t obvious.
That’s where I come in.
I help you sort through the noise, understand your options and make thoughtful decisions about your home, the investment, and what comes next.
How I Work
Start with the decision, not the transaction
Before we talk about houses, pricing or strategy, I want to understand what you are actually trying to accomplish. Why are you considering a move? What needs to be different? What would make the decision worth it?
That becomes the filter for everything that follows.
Separate what matters from what doesn’t.
Real estate comes with a lot of information, opinions and emotion. I help you understand what deserves your attention, from an inspection finding or pricing decision to the tradeoffs that come with a particular home.
Not every issue carries the same weight, and not every decision deserves the same amount of energy.
Adjust as we learn.
The process gives us new information along the way. Buyer competition, market response, inspections, offers and even your own reactions can tell us something.
We use what we learn to make the next decision better without losing sight of what you were trying to accomplish in the first place.
Who I Work With
Many of my clients are tech professionals navigating equity compensation and relocation decisions, or families who've outgrown their current home and are figuring out what's actually worth prioritizing in the next one.
I get it, because I've been there too. Before real estate, I spent 18+ years in tech and corporate roles, and I'm also navigating the working-parent juggle myself. I understand the decisions you're weighing because I've weighed them too.

Local Insight. Proven Support.
In the Bay Area, strategy can change significantly by neighborhood, property type and even the individual home.
As a Bay Area native and second-generation Realtor, I bring local perspective to those decisions, backed by the experience and resources of the Fitzpatrick Team at Compass.
Together, we look beyond market headlines to what is actually happening around the home you’re buying or selling, so you can make decisions with the right context.
An Evolution. Not a Pivot.
Before real estate, I spent nearly two decades helping people and organizations navigate decisions, change and growth.
I led teams, worked with customers, built global programs and learned that the best decisions rarely come from having more information. They come from knowing which information matters.
Real estate brought that work into a new setting.
Today, I use that same judgment to help people navigate decisions about their homes, their money and the lives they’re building around them.
Thinking about a move or just thinking ahead?
