For builders and developers
I’d like to work with builders in Palo Alto and the neighboring towns. The earlier we meet, the more useful I can be: on the finishes buyers here pay for, on timing the launch, and on a presentation that shows everything you built.
Tell me about a project Get acquainted
A builder does this again next year. I’d like to be the agent you call each time. — Maggie
What I bring to a new house
Bring me in at framing or finish selection. I’ll walk the house with you and tell you which choices buyers in that neighborhood reward, and where the spend is unlikely to come back in the price. It is the part of my work I enjoy most.
Advice from the market side. Your architect and designer lead the design.
A new home on an established street rarely has a sale to measure against. I read the buyers who are actually looking at that street, size and price this season, and I’ll walk you through my thinking in person before you commit to a number.
Luxury staging, personally designed and directed by me from my own inventory, so the rooms read at the scale and finish you delivered. Photography, film and twilight images are scheduled for when the landscaping is in and the house looks its best.
Every week unsold has a cost to you. I plan the launch around the calendar — season, broker tour, open-house weekends — and market actively, including directly to Mandarin-speaking buyers.
I represent you as the seller. Design, construction, engineering and financing decisions stay with your own professionals; my input is about what the market will value and how the house is brought to it.
How working together can start
A lot you are considering, plans in review, a house in framing, or one a few weeks from finished. A short note is enough to start.
I’ll visit, see the house and the street, and give you my read on the likely buyer, the finish priorities and the timing. Before it is ready to show, your project stays confidential.
When the house is ready it goes to market properly, to every buyer, on a calendar we agreed in advance. When your next project starts, we start earlier.
Before you buy the next lot
What recently built homes nearby sold for, how long they took, and what buyers at that price have been asking for. It is a conversation rather than a report, and there is no obligation attached to it.
If the numbers do not work, you will hear that from me too.
Recently built homes I have sold
Built 2025
After a previous listing expired, I created a fresh launch plan and sold the home for $122,000 above asking in thirteen days.
Built 2022
A fresh presentation following two previous listing attempts — sold for $7,940,000.
Start a conversation
Name and email are all I need. Everything else helps me come prepared.
Thank you — this is with me now.
I read these myself and will reply personally, usually the same day.
