My Story
I was born in Chico into a farming/ranching family that has been here for five generations. Early on I had aspirations of moving on to bigger and better things but I found that Chico was, for me, as good as it gets. And Real Estate turned out to be a perfect fit as well. I love people and have a strong desire to be helpful. I also love everything about property. Buying, restoring, investing, etc. To make people happy by helping them reach their Real Estate goals has been my life's work and I wouldn't have it any other way!
My Philosophy
Real Estate is not about sales. It's about knowledge. Of the current market conditions, the inventory, idiosyncrasies of different areas, the escrow process, the loan process and even the other agents that we cooperate with every day. Whether buying or selling... or just determining if either is the right way to go at this time, it helps to process your decision with someone who can answer your questions. Without pressure. You may not know which house will be 'the one' or whether selling in today's market is a good idea or not. But if you have the right information it will become clear. My job is to bring as much up-to-date, accurate information to the table as possible and help you sort out your priorities. Then I can use my years of experience to make it happen.
