Languages
English, French, German, SpanishWork Philosophy: My business is based mostly on referrals from past clients and professionals. Experience, integrity and results help me build lifelong relationships in trust. As a full service Realtor, I personally supervise and negotiate every single step of my Client’s transaction from start to closing of escrow. I do not use assistants beside expert legal advisers and our outstanding Palo Alto office administrators. Only the finest contractors, landscapers, stagers are involved to prepare and market my listings. Bound by the highest level of fiduciary obligations, backed by the tradition of excellence of Alain Pinel Realtors Palo Alto (now Compass), my Client's best interest always comes first, with a commitment to outperform the market, fairly and ethically.
