There’s something special about helping people buy and sell homes in the place you grew up.
As one of the top realtors in San Pedro, I’m incredibly grateful to share that in 2025, I was ranked the #2 Buyer’s Agent and #3 Listing Agent in San Pedro based on MLS production data. After finishing in the top 5 for both categories last year, it means a lot to continue building momentum in the community that shaped me.
San Pedro isn’t just one of the places I work — it’s home.
What This Means for My Clients
Rankings are great, but what matters most is what they represent.
Being a top buyer’s agent means:
-
Strong relationships and access to opportunities (off-markets too)
-
Strategic offer structuring and negotiation
-
Guidance on inspections, insurance, and escrows
-
Helping clients compete and win in competitive situations
Being a top listing agent means:
-
Accurate pricing strategies and listing prep
-
High-level marketing exposure and advertising
-
Strong negotiation to maximize value
-
Premium customer service that continues after closing
Working on both sides of the transaction consistently allows me to see the market from every angle — which ultimately benefits my clients whether they’re buying or selling.
Local Knowledge That Makes a Difference
Growing up in San Pedro gives me a different perspective than someone who just works here.
I understand the neighborhoods, the subtle differences between streets, the school zones, the coastal influences, and the lifestyle that makes each pocket unique. From coastal homes with Catalina views to classic craftsman properties and everything in between, every part of San Pedro has its own story.
That local knowledge plays a big role in helping clients make confident decisions.
Grateful for the Community
None of this happens without the people around me.
I’m incredibly thankful for my clients, friends, family, and everyone who continues to trust me with one of the most important decisions in their lives. Referrals, repeat clients, and community relationships are what drive my business, and I don’t take that lightly.
Last year, 80% of my business came from referrals or past clients, which I believe speaks to the level of service and experience I strive to provide.
