Professional I'm a licensed La Jolla Realtor. I represent Buyers and Sellers in La Jolla California, Metro (Mission Hills, Hillcrest, Bankers Hill, North Park and South Park, University Heights, Normal Heights, Kensington, and Talmadge), Downtown San Diego,Pacific Beach, Mission Beach, Ocean Beach, Rancho Santa Fe, Carmel Valley, Solana Beach,Del Mar, Clairemont, and a specialty in new homes all over San Diego County(go to featured listings tab, then new houses in San Diego). I'm a member of La Jollas' REBA (Real Estate Broker Association), Metro and Downtown Realtor Groups, the The MBREA (Mission Bay – Mission Beach and Pacific Beach - Real Estate Agents) group, PLOBRA (Point Loma and Ocean Beach),and the Morgan Run Realtors group covering Carmel Valley, Del Mar, Solana Beach, and Rancho Santa Fe. With these groups I am previewing properties constantly and our agent interaction keeps me aware of the nuances of each market. For buyers, because of my market knowledge, I diligently keep an eye out for the specific property you're looking for and I'm privy to pocket listings (not in the MLS) and new listings before the entire market is aware of them. For Sellers, this same agent interaction provides a wealth of information crucial to having an effective price opinion. I know a lot about houses, I used to design and build them. I'm analytical, - more interested in what's under the hood and the floor plan than I am the colors. That experience is useful at inspections, or with a Buyer who wants to re-model – interfacing with an architect and construction people – looking out for my Client. Consequently, I'm comfortable with the old homes in Mission Hills, or the fancy updating of a La Jolla beachfront condo, or the brand new home in Carmel Valley. This background also comes in handy working with a Seller, getting their home up to speed to stage them. I work with out-of-town, sophisticated, Buyers looking all over San Diego, but mainly in upscale areas, i.e. , La Jolla and Del Mar, the beaches, downtown condos, Mission Hills, Hillcrest, Point Loma, or Carmel Valley. These discriminating Buyers have confidence in me, I'm their age and I've been doing this a long time. They instinctively trust me. Our association makes them confident in their decisions, they feel like they're in good hands, we enjoy each others company, they expect and get prompt, candid answers, but, mostly I'm there, always there. Many agents are off the grid a lot, off traveling, doing things with their kids, or distracted by all manor of other responsibilities, and so are the agents they've asked to cover for them. NOT ME. I'm never off the grid, I'm here minding the store, all the time. I answer the phone, respond immediately to email and text requests, and get questions answered right away. I'm resourceful, I've accumulated resources over ½ a lifetime, and my company, Pacific Sotheby's International Realty, is totally service oriented.

I’ve been selling homes for 36 years. I've closed over 100 million in sales
and I was a home builder for 7 of those years. I'm originally from Chicago
attended the University of Iowa (SAE fraternity)
with a stint in Atlanta. I have been active in all areas of San Diego County with a focus on houses in La Jolla California
Metro (Mission Hills
Mission Valley

Kensington)
Downtown
Pacific Beach

Ocean Beach
Point Loma
Carmel Valley
Solana Beach
Clairemont
and a specialty in new homes all over San Diego County (go to featured listings tab
then new houses in San Diego). Of all the skills developed over those years
using my expertise to find just the right home for my client has been key. For some unkown reason (since I don't wind up with door prizes
win the lottery
or catch any fish) I'm very lucky in finding the perfect house. Additionally
when it comes to helping sellers
I have many years experience as a builder
a Realtor
and a showhome marketer in getting homes ready to show wonderfully and sell quickly for a high price. On a personal note
