Hello there:

This is where I get to tell you a little about myself so you can decide if I could be the agent you need to help you sell your home or the agent to represent you when you buy a home. And make no mistake about it, you do need an agent to represent your interests when you buy a home. I know there are those buyers who believe it is simpler, or somehow "better" to let the listing agent write an offer but this is simply not true. If anything goes wrong during the course of the transaction, the listing agent has a primary fiduciary responsibility to the seller, regardless of the circumstances. You need independent representation!

I am a full time REALTOR® affiliated with J Rockcliff Realtors in the San Francisco East Bay. My office is in Danville although I work mostly out of my home office in San Ramon . I specialize in helping nice people to buy and sell homes throughout The San Ramon Valley and Lamorinda .

I am originally from England where I worked mostly in the computer industry, initially as a software engineer and later in international recruitment and relocation specializing in the marketing side. My sales, marketing and relocation background have proved invaluable in my real estate career, not to mention my earlier exposure to technology, something I have never lost touch with. I use technology more than most agents - I am an e-PRO, the only Internet related designation recognized by the National Association of Realtors and held by less than 1.5% of Realtors.

I moved to California 15 years ago and I currently live in San Ramon but I have also lived in Orinda , Pleasant Hill , Danville and Walnut Creek . I know this area very well.

My wife, Sylvia, and my daughter, Michelle, are also licensed Realtors who work with me. This is a great benefit as we can cover for each other whenever there is a need.

My key values are Integrity, Loyalty, Commitment and Enthusiasm. I am also very accessible to the buyers and sellers I work with. When you call me, you will get to speak with me, not an assistant. My cell phone is (925) 997-1585 and it is switched on from 8am until 8pm every day. On the rare occasions I do not answer, this is because I am either talking to somebody else or in a meeting.

If you want to buy or sell a home in the San Ramon Valley, we really should be talking to each other.

I look forward to helping you.
