Ready to Buy a Home in Los Angeles? Start Here.
Buying a home is one of the most significant decisions you'll ever make, and the Los Angeles market is not one you want to navigate alone. I've been guiding buyers through this city since 1989: first-timers, relocators, move-up buyers, and everyone in between. My job is to make sure you feel informed, confident, and genuinely excited every step of the way.
You Deserve More Than a Door Opener.
A lot of buyers think an agent's job is just to unlock doors and write offers. I think very differently about what I'm here to do.
From our very first conversation, I'm learning about you: what you need, what you want, what your timeline looks like, and what matters most to your family. Then I use 37 years of market knowledge, relationships, and instincts to find you the right home, in the right neighborhood, at the right price.
A REAL CONVERSATION FIRST
Before we look at a single home, we sit down and talk through everything. Your must-haves, your nice-to-haves, your budget, your timeline, and your concerns. I ask a lot of questions because the better I understand what you're really looking for, the faster we find it.
NEIGHBORHOOD EXPERTISE YOU CAN COUNT ON
I've lived in Tarzana for 30+ years. I know the San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles the way you only can after nearly four decades of working and living here. I can tell you about the streets, the schools, the commutes, the hidden gems, and the things you'd never find on Zillow.
ACCESS TO OFF-MARKET AND PRE-MARKET HOMES
Some of the best homes in Los Angeles never hit the public market. Through my relationships with other agents and the Compass network, I often know about properties before they're listed, giving my buyers a real advantage in a competitive market.
GUIDANCE THROUGH EVERY STEP
The buying process has a lot of moving parts: offers, inspections, appraisals, escrow, financing, and more. I walk you through all of it in plain language, explain every document before you sign it, and make sure you never feel like you're in the dark.
NEGOTIATION THAT PROTECTS YOU
Getting into contract is just the beginning. I negotiate hard on your behalf from offer through close, always keeping your best interests and your equity front and center. My guiding principle applies to buyers just as much as sellers: "I never gamble with your money and equity."
Buying With a Compass Agent Is a Different Experience.
As a Compass agent, I have access to tools and technology that give my buyers a genuine edge in the Los Angeles market.
COMPASS COLLECTIONS
A private, collaborative platform where we can organize, save, compare, and comment on every home you're considering, all in one place. No more lost Zillow saves or confusing email threads. It's a streamlined, visual way to stay organized throughout your search.
REAL-TIME MARKET DATA
I use Compass's data tools to give you an accurate, up-to-date picture of what's happening in any neighborhood you're considering: list prices, sale prices, days on market, and trends. You make decisions based on real information, not guesswork.
PRE-MARKET AND PRIVATE EXCLUSIVE LISTINGS
Compass's Private Exclusives program gives buyers access to homes that are being marketed within the Compass network before they go public. In a competitive market like Los Angeles, getting there first matters.
A NETWORK THAT OPENS DOORS
Compass agents across Los Angeles and nationally share information and relationships that benefit their clients. That network is a real asset when you're looking for a home in a low-inventory market .

I'm Here.
FIRST-TIME BUYERS
Buying your first home is exciting and overwhelming in equal measure. I love working with first-time buyers because I get to be the steady, calm voice in what can feel like a chaotic process. I explain everything, I answer every question, and I never make you feel rushed.
RELOCATING TO LOS ANGELES
Moving to a new city is a big deal, and Los Angeles has a lot of neighborhoods to navigate. I specialize in helping people relocating from out of state find not just a house, but the right community for their life. Many of my relocation clients have never set foot in their new neighborhood before we start working together, and that's completely okay.
FAMILIES UPSIZING
Growing families need more space, better schools, and the right neighborhood for the next chapter. I help families find homes that work for where they are now and where they're headed.
BUYERS DOWNSIZING or RIGHTSIZING
Whether the kids have left or you're simply ready for something more manageable, I help buyers find the right-sized home without sacrificing what matters most to them.
