About
Since 1984, I have dedicated my career to the realm of real estate. My journey began while I was in law school, where I gained valuable experience as a real estate salesperson and mortgage banker. After completing my legal education, I transitioned into practicing real estate litigation before shifting my focus primarily to transactional work—buying, entitling, developing, and selling commercial properties and businesses across California. As an attorney also serving as a licensed broker and principal in various ventures, I've earned an AV rating from Martindale-Hubbell (www.martindale.com), underscoring the quality of service that clients can expect from me. My goal is to enhance value for both clients and business partners alike; it's important to me that they benefit significantly from our collaboration. By looking beyond immediate challenges towards emerging opportunities ready for exploration, I'm able to channel my enjoyment of this field into diligent efforts aimed at transforming obstacles into successes. Areas of expertise include: guiding transactions related to commercial property acquisition through all phases—from startup or purchase through growth stages ultimately leading up to sale—as well as drafting precise contracts designed not only for economic efficacy but also aimed at minimizing disputes while fostering robust professional relationships together with extensive knowledge in secured lending strategies involving distressed assets.
