What I Do - I sell luxury real estate, single-family homes, investment, multi-residential, and commercial residential properties in Sherman Oaks and surrounding Los Angeles communities. Berkshire Hathaway Real Estate has ranked me in the Top 1% among the company’s 50,000 licensed agents globally. I specialize in working with home sellers, buyers, and investors looking to acquire and maximize the sale potential of their real estate holdings through marketing, advertising, personal contacts, and negotiation. I am proud to be a proven adviser to an extensive list of current and repeat clients. With over 23 years of real estate sales experience working in both good and bad markets, I have a vast understanding that allows me to confidently handle complex and challenging transactions. In addition, I utilize a proven 7 Point Buyer Program, which has helped numerous buyers negotiate the best home prices, win in multiple offers, and find homes that are not currently on the market. I also possess one of the most unique and comprehensive Seller Marketing Plans for homeowners interested in achieving Top Dollar for their properties. My aggressive marketing plan and top-notch negotiation skills have helped many listing clients achieve over 2% more for their homes than the local competition.
