Professional Philosophy
I measure success by client satisfaction. I treat your time and needs with the highest respect, yet pay meticulous attention to detail so that nothing is overlooked. When marketing a listing, I go by the adage that you never get second chance to make a first great impression. My listing specialty is cost-effective property preparation, compelling home presentation and online marketing. I am an experienced negotiator and adept with real estate contracts. I want to make your next real estate transaction the smoothest and most satisfying property transition of your life.

Personal Background
I have been an Orinda resident for more than 40 years, and I know well the rich texture of this beautiful and very special area to live. I participate in numerous community activities, and I particularly enjoy hiking and walking in our local parks with my wife Tania and our dogs.
Professional Experience
A Coldwell Banker REALTOR since 2001, I have excelled in the sales of fine residential properties as well as vacant land.
Prior to joining Coldwell Banker, I founded and was President of Syspro Corporation. I oversaw sales & marketing of Syspro's CRM software products, and acted as client manager of the consulting division. I left Syspro in 1999 to join internet startup Webvan Group as a senior internal management consultant. My 30 years of experience with high-tech sales & marketing, promotions, client relations, deal negotiation, conflict resolution, and technology have contributed very positively to my success in real estate sales.
