Committed to zippy, responsive service that delights buyers, sellers, investors and property owners in Marin and Sonoma Counties, I always put my clients first. I will represent both your economic and ecological interests with my unique knowledge of permaculture, sustainability, transition, alternative energy and green building technologies. I chose to work at ZipRealty because they have the best technology platform and have streamlined their process for the benefit of both the clients and agents.

Born in Germany, raised in Canada and having moved to California at age 16, I've experienced cultural diversity and the need to adapt to change. With a BA in Mathematics from the University of California, Irvine, and an MBA from Golden Gate University, I know how to analyze client requirements and solve business problems.

For the past 40 years my wife and I have raised our two kids in the North Bay area and are now enjoying our grandchildren here. From living and working in Mill Valley, San Rafael, San Geronimo, Novato, Petaluma, Sebastopol, Santa Rosa and Point Reyes, I have an intimate knowledge of the various communities here and love to help others find the neighborhoods that best fit their situation.

As an IT Professional for 25 years, followed by 3 years as a Licensed Appraiser and then 22 years as a Real Estate Broker, I know commerce, housing and how to effectively represent clients. I've owned and managed three brokerage offices and over 50 agents with about 3,000 real estate sales and leases under by belt. I've also mediated disputes between buyers and sellers, successfully keeping everyone out of court, following standard practices and giving sound advice. My communications and negotiating skills are second to none and I operate with high ethical standards, compassionate caring and clarity about my fiduciary duties. Collapse
