I remember watching a movie years ago, a comedy that stuck with me for an unexpected reason. There was a race, hurdlers charging down the track, leaping over each obstacle with precision and effort. And then there was one guy who took a completely different approach. Instead of jumping the hurdles, he ran around them. … Continue reading The Hurdles We Choose to Face
As we head into the Easter holiday weekend, I find myself thinking about the idea of renewal. Not in the traditional sense, but in the way it quietly shows up all around us this time of year. The days stretch a little longer. The air feels a little lighter. There’s a shift in energy that’s … Continue reading A Season of Renewal
On April 1st, I will mark a personal milestone that is difficult for me to fully comprehend. It will be my 40th year as a real estate broker in Silicon Valley. Forty years.

Every two years, the Olympic Games remind us of something we sometimes forget in business. Individual talent is impressive. Teamwork is unstoppable. This year, both the U.S. Men’s and Women’s Olympic Hockey teams did something remarkable. They defeated heavily favored Canadian teams to win gold. On paper, Canada had the pedigree. The history. The star … Continue reading The Power of the Team
Have you ever found yourself in the middle of a transaction thinking, “Why does this always happen to me? Why are my deals always the difficult ones?” It’s almost as if there’s a magnet that pulls complexity in your direction. The client is emotional. The other agent is reactive. The lender is behind. The appraiser … Continue reading No Deal Is Easy
On Monday, many of us will enjoy an added day off. For some, it is simply a long weekend. For others, it is a chance to reflect on the leaders who have shaped our country’s history.

This weekend, something pretty special is happening right in our own backyard at Levi’s Stadium. The Super Bowl. The biggest stage in professional sports.
