Meet Ted

CA DRE# 02246489

I began my career in real estate as a private fix-and-flip investor in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2017, focusing in the Sunset District. Previously, I worked as an engineer and project manager in the solar and automotive industries — roles that shaped the datadriven, value-centered approach I bring to every transaction.

“I can’t recommend Ted enough! He guided us step-by-step with patience and respect. Since I was supporting my 75-year-old great aunt from out of town, his communication and organization made a complex situation feel manageable from start to finish. In the end, we all felt great about the outcome, and I credit Ted’s persistence, professionalism, and genuine care for making it all possible. If you’re looking for a San Francisco Bay Area Realtor who truly goes the extra mile for his clients, Ted is the one you want by your side.”

With you, everything finally worked out—you verified everything with your lawyers, got [the non-paying tenant] out in a good timeframe after my experience with two other realtors. You’re good at what you do, no one can say different. I would recommend you to anybody, and I would work with you again.

I can’t recommend Ted enough! He recently helped my 75-year-old great aunt sell her longtime home, where she had lived for decades. She wanted to downsize but also make the most from the sale, and Ted went above and beyond to make that happen. He brought in trusted contractors, organized the entire clean-out process, and guided us step-by-step with patience and respect. Since I was supporting her from ...
