I’ve called Ventura home for 20 years, and that deep local connection is at the heart of how I approach real estate. I know the neighborhoods, the market, and the factors that create long-term value in Ventura and the surrounding communities. I work with buyers, sellers, and investors looking at real estate from both a personal and investment perspective. My focus includes long-term investment properties, short-term rentals (STRs), fix-and-flips, and value-add opportunities, as well as primary residences. I’ve also built a strong local network of lenders, insurance brokers, contractors, specialists, and skilled tradespeople. I enjoy bringing the right people together and organizing the entire team around an investment or project, making the process as seamless, efficient, and straightforward as possible. Whether you’re looking for your next investment, evaluating a property’s potential, preparing a flip, exploring an STR, or simply trying to understand the Ventura market, my goal is to provide straightforward advice, local insight, and a calm, numbers-driven approach.
