Building Trust Through Expertise
For more than two decades, I have dedicated my career to helping property owners, landlords, and community associations succeed in California\'s dynamic real estate market.
As a California licensed real estate broker since 2004, I have built my practice on a foundation of deep industry knowledge, ethical practice, and a genuine commitment to my clients\' success. My experience spans every facet of property management, from single-family rentals to large multi-unit complexes and homeowners associations.
The California real estate landscape presents unique challenges. From the Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) to the comprehensive Davis-Stirling Common Interest Development Act, California property owners and managers face a complex regulatory environment that demands expert guidance.
I founded HOACart to bring enterprise-level property management technology to communities of all sizes. By combining my decades of hands-on experience with modern software solutions, HOACart empowers HOA boards, property managers, and landlords to operate more efficiently while maintaining full compliance with California law.
Areas of Expertise
My practice is built on three interconnected pillars of real estate expertise, each supported by ongoing education and adherence to industry best practices.
Property Management Excellence
With over two decades of hands-on experience managing residential and commercial properties across California, I bring deep expertise in tenant relations, maintenance coordination, financial management, and regulatory compliance.
Landlord Advisory Services
I provide strategic guidance to landlords on tenant screening, lease negotiations, rent optimization, eviction procedures, and compliance with California's comprehensive landlord-tenant laws including the Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482).
HOA Management Consulting
I advise HOA management companies and community association boards on governance best practices, reserve studies, CC&R enforcement, vendor management, and fiduciary responsibilities in accordance with the Davis-Stirling Common Interest Development Act.
