Meet Alissa

I’m a mom, wife, East Bay resident, and a top real estate agent.

One of my favorite quotes is by John C. Maxwell: “People do not care how much you know until they know how much you care.” Deep caring and honest communication are the core of who I am as an agent. I’m truly invested in each client’s real estate goals, and I take those dreams to heart as I steer them toward the best possible outcome. Puzzles are a big part of what I love about our industry. Clients come to us from all walks of life with unique considerations. Determining how to achieve their goals requires a delicate balance of statistical savvy, skill, connections, and market knowledge. It’s these strengths, along with a dedication to listening, that help me deliver just what’s needed throughout the emotional process of buying or selling a home.

My story began in Visalia, where I grew up a tomboy with my mom, two brothers, and a real estate broker dad. I remember watching in awe as he helped people navigate life-changing home purchases and bittersweet home sales. This is when the seed was planted. Many years later, he convinced me to pursue a career in real estate, and I’m so glad he did. I love this business we are in. The East Bay has been my home for many years. I’ve lived in Oakland, Berkeley, El Cerrito, and Moraga—strolling the blocks, discovering the parks, dining at the restaurants, and walking my kids to the schools. So it’s as a neighbor and an agent that I help clients pinpoint their perfect neighborhood.

Outside of work, my two young sons are my greatest source of joy and pride. They remind me to slow down and enjoy the simple moments. I’m also lucky to be married to a wonderful man who is my rock and sounding board in work and life. Outside of work, you may find me trying to fit in a yoga class, dreaming of mastering French, or catching up with former clients over a coffee at the local café.
