10 Reasons to Work with Me

Finding the right real estate agent can feel overwhelming—after all, so many agents say the same things, promise the same results, and present themselves as experts. But the reality is that most REALTORs do very little business, with most only closing a handful of transactions per year. In fact, a large percentage of agents leave the industry within just a few years, meaning that most who work in the industry today do noy have the experience, negotiation skills, or market insight needed to truly protect your interests. With such a big financial decision on the line, working with someone who lacks the expertise to navigate complex deals can cost you time, money, and peace of mind.

That’s why it’s critical to dig deeper and identify an agent with a proven track record of success, strong negotiation skills, and a commitment to exceptional service. A great agent doesn’t just list homes or show properties—they strategically market, negotiate fiercely, and guide you through every detail of the process to ensure you achieve the best possible outcome. Choosing the right representation can mean the difference between a smooth, profitable transaction and a frustrating, costly experience. If you’re serious about getting the best deal, work with someone who has the chops, experience, and dedication to make it happen.

Having said that, here are ten reasons to work with me to help you buy, sell, or invest in Silicon Valley real estate:

1. I will get you tens of thousands – and possibly hundreds of thousands – of extra dollars when you sell.

When I say that I will get you tens or possibly hundreds of thousands of extra dollars when you sell your home in Silicon Valley, I mean that you will get this additional money after all fees and costs. That’s after paying commissions, the cost of any preparations you may make for your home, staging, carrying costs – all costs and fees. This is really the #1 reason why you should work with me.

But how do I do that? I have a step-by-step process for this, which if we follow the process precisely, will result in you netting tens or possibly hundreds of thousands of extra dollars when you sell, more than you could get working with any other agent, or selling any other way.

The very first step on the process is for you and I have to have a conversation so I can better understand the particulars of your situation, and if my process will work for you. If you’d like to get a result like this when you sell your home, I invite you to book a call with me today.

2. Local Knowledge & Market Expertise

With years of experience in Silicon Valley and the greater Bay Area, I have a deep understanding of the local market, neighborhoods, pricing trends, and what it takes to sell homes quickly and getting the highest net proceeds at closing. Honestly, the selling quickly part isn’t too hard, since the Silicon Valley real estate market is generally (but not always) pretty fast moving. Netting you the most money at closing – after all fees and costs of sale – that is what really separates a great agent like me from the average agent. Average agents do a poor job advising their clients of how to cost-effectively prepare their homes for sale, and crucially, have very poor negotiating skills, which is where the rubber really meets the road in this business.

3. Proven Track Record

I’ve helped hundreds of buyers and sellers successfully navigate complex real estate transactions. My extensive experience in residential sales, investment properties, and home marketing strategies sets me apart. I have personally sold well over 400 homes, and it’s important to understand that these are not team sales. Many REALTORs tout their team sale numbers, which the REALTOR® may actually have had little or nothing to do with the bulk of those sales. My sales are the those where I was personally involved from start to finish. Very few REALTOR®s in Silicon Valley today have anything close to my track record.

4. Professional & Dedicated Service

Real estate is my full-time profession, and my clients are my top priority. I am committed to being proactive, responsive, and always available to answer your questions. I pride myself on clear communication, honest advice, and a strong work ethic. I practice extreme ownership of the real estate sale process, taking personal and complete responsibility for the successful sale of your home. I never cut corners and make sure that everything that needs to be done to get your home sold will be done.

5. Cutting-Edge Marketing Strategies

Yes, I leverage high-end photography, video tours, drone footage, and targeted digital marketing as part of the marketing for your home. But I will tell you something that few REALTOR®s will admit: these things don’t do much to sell your home. In fact, done incorrectly, these things will hurt the sale of your home. All marketing should have one goal: to get qualified buyers in the door as quickly as possible, to create a sense of urgency to get buyers to write fantastic offers, quickly.

I am not about maximizing exposure for your home – many sellers actually prefer to keep their sale quiet to maintain their privacy. Rather, my goal is to optimize exposure for your home. My marketing approach ensures that your property gets in front of the right buyers at the right time and makes them curious and interested enough to go and see it in person – which is an absolute necessity to get the home sold.

6. Strong Negotiation Skills

Whether you’re buying or selling, I bring strong negotiation tactics to the table to get you the best deal possible. Most REALTOR®s actually have very weak negotiation skills, if for no other reason than they simply have not sold very many homes, or they work mostly with buyers rather than sellers. I understand how to best position you for success, even before any negotiations have actually begun. And when we are working to hammer out the best combination of price and terms for your home, I make sure to keep all potential buyers engaged, and never say or do anything that would disadvantage you, the seller, during the process.

7. Extensive Network & Resources

Over the years, I have built a vast network of real estate professionals, contractors, lenders, and service providers. Whether you need help decluttering, remodeling, financing, or inspections, I have the right connections to assist you. More than that, I have the years and a depth of experience to prioritize any work that ought to be done and analyze the ramifications and solutions for any challenges or roadblocks that may arise in the process of selling your home.

8. Advanced Tech & Data-Driven Approach

I utilize the latest real estate technology, analytics, and market insights to help you make informed decisions. I track market shifts and provide up-to-the-minute pricing strategies to help you sell or buy with confidence. While I will give you access to all of this information, many people feel overwhelmed by the amount of information about market trends and shifts and are unable to clearly understand what it means for the sale of their home. I distill this information for my clients and present them with clear and actionable guidance to achieve the best results with the sale of their home.

9. People-First Mindset

One of the great ironies of the real estate business is that it’s not about the houses, it’s about the people that live in them. When I go to meet a homeowner at their residence for the first time, I don’t ask to take a tour of the home. I ask to sit down at the kitchen table and have a chat. I take the time to understand your needs, because until I truly understand the particulars of your situation, I won’t be able to give you the best guidance and service.
