Home Inspection Report
A home inspection report is important, but it doesn't cover everything in the house.
A home inspector will perform a visual inspection of your property from top to bottom, including all the main systems. State laws and professional associations require home inspectors to give clients two documents as a matter of business and ethics: written home inspector contracts and written inspection reports.
Pre-inspection agreement
Obtain a copy of the pre-inspection contract before the inspection takes place. Read and understand the document before the inspector starts the investigation. Ask the inspector to clarify anything you do not understand.
The agreement should contain the scope of the inspection services the person intends to perform as

BROKER YOU'LL ACTUALLY TALK TO
I've been through
this move.
Personally.
A year ago, my wife and I made the same decision many of my clients are now facing. Our lives had changed. The kids had moved out. The two-story house we'd loved for years suddenly wasn't the right fit anymore.
So we made the move. We downsized — single level, same area. The right size for this chapter of our lives. It was absolutely the right call. But I also know how much goes into getting there, and how much easier it is when someone who's done it is in your corner.
That experience continues to shape how I work with every client navigating a transition — whether that's scaling down or moving up.

The most important thing isn't finding the right house. It's making sure the decision fits your life — right now, and five years from now.

WHAT I DO
Built for the moves most agents find complicated
Downsizing
Helping homeowners move into their next chapter — thoughtfully, without pressure. From first conversation to close.
Trust, Probate & Short Sales
Properties held in trust, going through probate, or short sale, require a different kind of expertise. I've navigated these personally and professionally.
Move-Up Sellers & Buyers
Selling and buying at the same time doesn't have to be a juggling act. I'll help you structure it so neither transaction holds the other up.
Thinking about downsizing in the next year or two?
I put together a practical guide specifically for Bay Area homeowners — what to think through, what to watch out for, and how to know when the timing is right. No pitch, no pressure.
