California real estate license # 01127415 active since 1991, held by a Mission Hills listing agent now under Coldwell Banker West at 902 Fort Stockton Drive with additional specialization in Uptown, Point Loma, and Downtown San Diego submarkets. The practice screens pre-1920 craftsman and Spanish colonial revival listings for architectural integrity, riding on framing, stucco, and foundation scope reports from Building Inspection Profession before disclosure packets are finalized. A prior career as a respiratory therapist feeds the calm, step-by-step approach to first-time buyers navigating inspection surprises and loan-condition clearances. A personal investor track — buy, renovate, hold — produces on-the-ground familiarity with structural-integrity calls on century-old homes, from post-and-pier foundations to knob-and-tube electrical remediation and galvanized supply-line replacement. Renovation bids on inherited Mission Hills and Uptown listings route to framing and finish contractors at Jerry’s Builders for scope-of-work estimates before a list price is set. The most complex files are legacy homes under an active Mills Act historical-designation contract where the replacement buyer must be qualified on the preserved property-tax basis and the ongoing architectural maintenance covenants.
