On May 18th, eleven days shy of 12 years since their purchase, Erick and Rachel sold this incredible home and closed another chapter in their lives. Having bought and sold with me a number of times over the years, it’s so much fun to be part of their story. Congrats, guys!

The primary suite runs the full width of the house at 1716 Southridge Drive in Petaluma, CA. With two walk-in closets, separate vanities, it’s a space that genuinely feels like yours at the end of the day.
The rest of the layout is made for a busy family. Island kitchen with granite counters and room to actually cook, a second ensuite downstairs that works perfectly for guests or a home office, and a loft upstairs that could become a fifth bedroom when you need it. High ceilings, tons of light, and a floor plan that gives everyone space without feeling disconnected.
The backyard is private and ready to go, with a hot tub and room to have people over. Owned solar and AC mean you’re comfortable year round and not thinking about the electric bill.
One house down from Southgate Park. The neighborhood does a 4th of July bike parade and is famously good for trick-or-treating.
This is the one you walk through and start mentally arranging furniture.

No pitch. No listing presentation. No “have you thought about your home’s value?”
I mailed this card to a very specific group of Petaluma, CA homeowners because their home matches exactly what my buyer is looking for. That’s it. That’s the whole reason.
My buyer is ready to go, and they’re not looking for a deal. They’re looking for the right house in the right neighborhood, and I think it might be yours.
The other side of this card says it plainly: I’m not here to represent you as a seller. I’m here because I have someone who genuinely wants to buy your home.
Sometimes the best transactions start with a simple question. “Would you consider selling?”

I received two calls today from this mailing of 163 postcards. I have an appointment to view one of the homes next week. When there’s no inventory that fits a buyer’s needs, I go straight to the source.

Coming Soon sign = we’re almost done ✅ My client’s offer was accepted 5 days ago. The appraiser just left, inspections are wrapped, and we’re moving through escrow on a home that was never publicly listed. This is what happens when your agent is actually in the market, not just on it.

I will not represent buyers on my own listings.

Even though it is legal in California, individual dual agency puts one person in the middle of two opposing goals. That goes against human nature. No matter how ethical or experienced an agent is, it is unrealistic to believe one person can fully advocate for both sides without compromise.

I would rather lose a commission by encouraging a buyer to use another agent than ever have a client wonder if they were fairly represented.

My sellers deserve an agent whose only job is to push for their highest price and best terms. Buyers deserve an agent whose only job is to protect their interests, strategy, and leverage.

Clean representation creates cleaner deals, smoother escrows, and far more trust long after the transaction closes.

Integrity over convenience. Always.
