About
What would you like to know about me?
What I would like to tell you is that, I am different. I see my job as your real estate advocate whether I am representing you as a seller or as a buyer. I will not compromise my principles or your safety to make a commission.
I will not take over-priced listings, and I will not make low-ball offers.
My job is to make your transaction a joyful one. When you finally get the keys to your new home, or you finally receive the wire to your bank of the proceeds of your sale, I ensure that you are happy and ready to start a new chapter in your life with anticipation and optimism.
The Mexican real estate process is time-consuming, expensive, and just plain irritating for foreigners. You will be frustrated during the closing. That’s when I work hard to be your shield and not let the endless irritations get to you.
The reason I can do this is that not only do I have over 20 years of real estate and mortgage experience in the California market, I have also been selling real estate here since 2001. Since 2005, I worked for ConfiCasa Mortgage the premier cross-border mortgage company. I held many positions in management that took me to every major resort in Mexico. Finally, I was the director of closings, and I had to deal with every facet of the real estate transaction. A lot of my time in closing was fixing problems of the seller, even though my client was the buyer/borrower, but in order to affect a smooth closing, I had to fix the problems of the seller.
So my job is to ensure that you as a seller and you as a buyer are fully informed, totally comfortable, and are protected from making any serious mistakes.
Here in Mexico I have done, and am doing the following:
- Opened the first real estate franchise in La Paz (as sales manager) Coldwell Banker Riveras
- Originated mortgages form La Paz for clients in California
- Director of Closings for ConfiCasa Mortgage International
- Written articles for:
- International Living
- Mexico Insider
- Baja Pulse
- Gringo Gazette
- Baja Traveler
- Written an ebook for consumers: Margarita Mind: How to Avoid It, A Guide to Buying Mexico Real Estate Safely & Sanely
In my life in Silicon Valley I did this:
- Held local and state level office for my professional organization
- Conducted First-Time HomeBuyer classes
- Wrote consumer advocacy columns for San Jose Metro
- Founding member of the San Jose Mercury News “Virtual Real Estate Advisory”
- Wrote and appeared in my own real estate segments on BAY/TV
- Held a California Real Estate Broker license
- Have a B.S. from the University of San Francisco
The most important thing about me is that I approach real estate as an advocate for you, whether you are a buyer or a seller.
