Charity
Speaking of homes — my second one is the ocean. I started diving our beautiful coast at 13 and watched kelp forests vanish, urchins take over, and otters fade from view.
Now, I support organizations working to restore that balance:
– The Nature Conservancy – California Kelp Recovery
– Greater Farallones Kelp Program (NOAA)
– Reef Check California
– The Otter Project
Because the places we care about — whether ocean or home — shape the legacy we leave behind.
Marin County Realtor® | Ernst-Restrepo Team
I don’t just help people sell their homes.
I help them surgically plan the moment before it arrives.
Raised in Marin - literally on job sites, the son of a contractor. I learned early how homes are built, how they age, and what makes them valuable over time. Later, I became a filmmaker, trained to see light, mood, and visual psychology. Now I bring both: structure, story, and strategy.
I work with sellers on any timeline - whether it’s three months or three years out. My process is deeply strategic: reverse-engineered from every possible scenario, designed to reduce stress and position your home for the strongest outcome. From repairs to upgrades (based on buyer psychology), to pricing and launch timing - every step is planned to protect your leverage and maximize your return.
Yes, I’m newer to the industry. But I’m not guessing.
I’m full-time, fully committed, and backed by a Compass team with over $100M in recent sales.
I don’t operate on guesswork. I operate on discipline, research, and facts. Every detail matters, because the stakes are real. This isn’t about proving something. It’s about earning trust and delivering results that hold up under pressure.
Will I promise you’ll break records? No.
Because nobody can control the market, the buyers, timing, or the massive list of factors that effect it all - especially if they’re winging it. But what we can control is everything leading up to the moment: condition, presentation, strategy, and building leverage.
That’s where I come in.
