Experience matters, particularly in high-value real estate transactions where judgment and foresight are critical. As both a real estate broker and an attorney, I combine market expertise with legal insight to anticipate issues before they arise, guide contracts and disclosures strategically, and manage risk throughout the escrow process. My focus is on delivering a seamless, well-controlled transaction that minimizes stress and produces a confident, well-executed outcome.
