650.430.1004I'm a real estate agent focused on helping my clients navigate the buying and selling process in a clear, informed, and as stress-free way as possible. Originally from Beirut, Lebanon, I moved to San Francisco at 28 and now live in San Jose. Over time, I've developed a strong appreciation for the Bay Area's diverse communities and the opportunities homeownership can create.
Before real estate, I worked as a Notary Public, where I gained insight into the legal side of real estate transactions. I also managed multiple restaurant locations, including one in Willow Glen. Those roles helped me build strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills - qualities I rely on every day to support my clients and keep transactions moving smoothly.
My approach is centered on providing clear information and steady guidance so clients can make confident decisions. I take the time to understand each client's goals and tailor my support accordingly. For buyers, that means helping them find the right home within their budget while advocating for their best interests. For sellers, I focus on effective pricing, preparation, and marketing strategies to help them achieve strong results.
I aim to be responsive, reliable, and straightforward throughout the process. My goal is to build trust and long-term relationships by being someone my clients can depend on - not just during a transaction, but beyond it as well.
Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, swimming, volleyball, and table tennis. I understand that real estate decisions can feel overwhelming at times, and I strive to make the experience more manageable and well-guided for every client I work with.
