Real estate consulting is a fee-based advisory service that helps you make clear, informed, and financially sound decisions about selling or buying real property.

When you hire me, you’re hiring my entire advisory firm, not just one person. You gain access to a team of professionals—analysts, marketing specialists, transaction coordinators, and compliance experts—who collectively support your decision-making process.

My commitment is simple: I am not attached to whether you buy or sell. I’m attached to ensuring you make a fully informed and confident decision.

Traditional agents are paid a commission based on the sales price—usually 5–6%. Their income depends on closing a sale.

My firm operates differently. We charge a flat hourly consulting rate of $500 per hour, which covers the collective time and resources of my advisory office. You are hiring us for our analysis, expertise, and fiduciary insight, not to push a transaction.

This means you receive objective advice—unaffected by sales incentives or commission structures.

• Sellers evaluating whether or when to list
• FSBO (For Sale by Owner) sellers seeking guidance and compliance support
• Buyers needing unbiased analysis before making offers
• Investors requiring deal evaluation and market intelligence
• Families managing trust, estate, or probate sales

My consulting rate is $500 per hour, billed at the time of booking.
That rate represents the cost to engage my entire advisory firm, not just me personally. It includes the collective effort of our team—administrative, analytical, marketing, and compliance personnel—who support the execution of your decision to buy or sell.

Yes. I am a California Licensed Real Estate Broker (DRE #01143484).

However, even when I serve as the broker of record on your listing or purchase, my role remains that of a business consultant and fiduciary advisor. My responsibility is to protect your equity, ensure compliance with all laws and disclosures, and help you make sound financial decisions.

The listing agreement simply authorizes me to negotiate the sale of your property, manage offers, and facilitate required documentation. It does not convert my compensation into a commission—my payment remains hourly for professional services rendered.

No.
Under my model, there is no commission paid to the listing agent. Compensation is strictly based on hourly consulting and representation time logged by my firm.

If you choose to offer a commission to a buyer’s agent, that amount is at your discretion and paid by you directly through escrow.

All other third-party expenses—such as title, escrow, staging, marketing, or photography—are paid directly by you, the seller. I do not collect or hold advance fees, nor do I pay or manage third-party vendor costs on your behalf.

That’s perfectly fine. Many clients hire me as an independent fiduciary consultant to work alongside or independently of another agent.

I can:
Review contracts, disclosures, and timelines
Evaluate pricing strategies and offers
Help you avoid legal or tax pitfalls
Provide compliance and transaction oversight
I serve as your trusted second opinion and professional safeguard, regardless of who represents you on paper.

Consulting fees are non-refundable once a session begins.

You may reschedule one session within 30 days of your original booking at no additional charge, provided you give at least 24 hours’ notice. Missed sessions or late cancellations result in forfeiture of the session time.

Because I represent your goals, not the sale.

In a commission model, the agent’s financial interest increases when you pay more or sell for less. My advisory model eliminates that conflict.
You receive seasoned, fiduciary-level advice from a professional with decades of experience in real estate law, taxation, and negotiations—focused entirely on protecting your equity and peace of mind.

You get started first as a business consultant client. We do not enter into listing or representation agreements with any client until we understand your goals and expectations and we are aligned. Then we map out a plan for representation that may or may not include a member of our firm depending on your location and business needs. All of our clients are business consultant clients first.
You have two options. 1. Schedule a Discovery Business Consultation which is free. 2. Book your first Business consultation at our current hourly rate.

All business sessions are prepaid and can be rescheduled within 30 days.
During our first business session, we’ll evaluate your objectives, timeline, and market position—and design a clear, compliant strategy for moving forward.
