Coastal Orange County
Coastal luxury, underwritten.
Buy, sell or hold a home on the Orange County coast with an economist's numbers and an artist's eye. Sometimes the best move is no move at all, and I will tell you when I think it is.

Before you call
What people really want to know
What is my home actually worth?
A buyer sets that, once they have walked the house and their inspector has been through it. I start with what recently closed near you. My price guide shows what each number on a listing can and can't tell you.
Is this the right time to move?
Sometimes it isn't. I run the numbers on staying too, and I will tell you if I think that is the better move.
What kinds of homes do you work on?
Homes at every price point across Los Angeles, Long Beach and Orange County, with a focus on the Orange County coast.
You are fairly new to real estate. Why trust you with this?
I have been licensed since June 2025, and my record below is short. At Compass I work alongside Bruce Miller, who has more than 30 years in California real estate. I also spent twelve years in major gift fundraising, sitting with people through six- and seven-figure decisions.

How I work
Three things I bring to a big decision
What the numbers say
At the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics I measured how prices move across the country.
How a home is seen
I studied visual arts alongside economics at UC San Diego, and I help a home show what it really is.
What you are really after
I start by asking what problem you are trying to solve.
Naples Island, Long Beach
The numbers
How we decide before anyone moves
What closed, and why
I pull recent sales near you and look at how each home differs from yours.
What it costs you
You see an estimate of what you would walk away with, or of what a home could cost to own.
What could surprise you
We list what to ask about association rules and rental numbers.
What I would do
I tell you whether I would buy, sell, hold or stay, speaking as a real estate agent. The decision is yours. Tax, legal and loan questions go to your own advisers.
