"For me, home is more than a place, it's a feeling."
Since 1993, I've had the privilege of guiding hundreds of clients through buying and selling their homes, offering trusted advice, skilled negotiation, and genuine care every step of the way.
My own journey, from India to England to the Bay Area, has given me a deep appreciation for the challenges and opportunities that come with relocating across cultures. This international perspective allows me to support clients from all over the world as they make the Bay Area their home.
To me, real estate is never just about property. It is about people, transitions, and the meaning of "home." Every client's story is unique, and that is what makes my work so deeply rewarding. Through attentive listening, thoughtful problem-solving, and decades of experience, I am committed to helping you achieve your real estate goals with confidence and clarity.
Call me to discuss your unique needs. Together, we will make it happen.

I'm Dead or Incapacitated
Your Next-Steps Planner and Workbook
November 2004. A bike accident. A split second that changed everything.
Margaret's bike was hit by a pick up truck while in a pedestrian crossing. The impact threw her in front of a freeway exit ramp where she was nearly run over. Months of pain and stress lay ahead. During quiet moments — the journey to the Emergency Room, navigating hospital forms, depending on others — a thought crystallized: What if this had been worse? What if I couldn't speak for myself?
This workbook was born from that vulnerability. It's not just about legal documents; it's about love, clarity, and relieving the people you care about from guessing what you would have wanted.
What's Inside
Twenty practical sections designed to organize everything that matters:
Will/Trust • Health Care Directive • DNR • Durable Power of Attorney • Insurance Policies • Bank Accounts • Retirement Accounts • Social Security • Deeds & Titles • Passwords & Logins • Safe Deposit Box • Tax Returns • Disability Benefits • Veteran's Benefits • Memberships • Pets & Their Care • Funeral Wishes • Obituary • Memorial Service • Cremation or Burial
Why It Matters
Your family will face decisions during the most stressful times. This workbook gives them answers. It turns chaos into clarity. It's the gift of one less thing to worry about when it matters most.
