1. Real Estate Advisor

   Compass

   Sep 2020 — Present · Oakland, CA, US

   I build health and wealth through homeownership in the Bay Area and the Mendocino Coast of Northern California. Home is where our health is, and I am extremely passionate about helping people realize their dream of owning a home and building equity towards a more secure financial future. To me, home ownership, and housing stability, are key to public health and wellness. I specialize in real estate investment, selling, and buying, and am part of a team at Compass with over 40 years of experience buying and selling houses in the East Bay. I help my clients close transactions in English, Spanish, and French. I excel in listening to what you need and helping you get it.Working as your partner and greatest advocate, I will help you build your health and wealth through purchasing or selling your home. Born and raised in San Francisco and Mendocino County, and a graduate of Community Studies at UC Santa Cruz with a Master’s Degree in Public Health (MPH) from UC Berkeley, I am passionate about helping you find your unique place in Northern California. I specialize in embracing, facilitating, and managing change. Buying or selling your home is one of the biggest moments of change in your life. I can help reduce your stress and fear in the process and approach the change with a sense of peace and optimism. Building community and connecting people to resources, and to each other, is my life purpose. I worked for over 30 years in the non-profit sector facilitating improved public health, increased opportunities, stronger leadership and social justice for tens of thousands of people in over 20 countries. Fluent in Spanish, French and speaking Portuguese, my greatest love is working with people from diverse backgrounds in their own language to find their dream home that allows them to be housing secure and vibrant members of their communities. Working with me you get a compassionate professional ready to guide you to feel empowered in your choices and journey. Let\'s connect.
