Frequently asked
A few of the questions families ask most often before reaching out.
La Jolla is my specialty, but I serve the greater San Diego coast as well. If you're relocating and not sure where to land yet, that's exactly the kind of conversation I love to have.
I help families moving from out of state or abroad understand neighborhoods, schools, commutes, and lifestyle before you commit. We can start with virtual tours, neighborhood deep-dives, and a short list tailored to your family — not just a stack of listings.
Absolutely. Many of my best client relationships start months — sometimes years — before a purchase. There's no pressure to move quickly. A first conversation costs nothing and clarifies a lot.
For buyers, my fee is typically paid through the transaction and disclosed transparently up front. For sellers, my commission is discussed during our prep consultation. You'll never be surprised by a number.
Yes — this is often where I add the most value. After 20 years as a teacher, I can speak to school cultures and what to look for, and I'll connect you with the right resources to make an informed decision.
Yes. I represent both sides — discreetly marketing homes when sellers value privacy, and guiding buyers from search through closing.
