I recently helped a 22-year-old first-time homebuyer purchase his first home in the Martinez area. By securing grant money, we reduced his upfront costs and made homeownership achievable. Guiding young buyers through this process is one of the most rewarding parts of being a Martinez Realtor and helping clients build their future through real estate. I also recently helped a family sell their mother’s home through probate in Martinez, CA. Using my trusted vendor network, we handled repairs, updates, and staging to prepare the property for sale. The result — a smooth process and a higher return on their inheritance. As a Probate and Trust Certified Realtor, I take pride in helping families navigate these transitions with care and expertise.

My career in real estate began after years working as an insurance claims adjuster specializing in construction defect cases, where I mastered contracts and negotiations.
