A: My interest in real estate began at a young age. Growing up, my dad was a builder and family included specialists in numerous facets of real estate construction, so I had firsthand experience with watching my family build and manage real estate. The human component and interacting with people also drew me to real estate, and helping people find their place in the world. Q: What is the most interesting thing that happened during an open house you hosted? A: The Buyer came into an open house and offered all-cash for a $5m property on the first day it was opened. Q: What was your favorite moment in your career so far? A: Working alongside a builder to help him select various finish detail: floors, cabinets, tile, and overall finishes. When it was complete, I brought it to market and it sold within 21 days. It ended-up being the highest sale price in all of Noe Valley in 2016 - sold just under $5.3m. Q: What do you wish you had known when you first got your real estate license? A: Being an agent is a lifestyle, not really a profession. It's all-consuming, and life-giving.
