Broker Associate, REALTOR®, ABR, MRP
Hunter & Maddox Real Estate
Headquartered in Downtown San Diego, Hunter & Maddox International is one of the West Coast's leading independent luxury brokerages. As a Broker Associate, I leverage this prestigious, globally connected platform to deliver an unmatched, multi-disciplinary real estate experience for buyers, sellers, and investors in Downtown San Diego, Little Italy, and the surrounding metro areas.
My approach goes far beyond traditional real estate sales, combining four distinct areas of expertise to maximize client equity and minimize stress:
- The Tech Edge: Drawing on my early career as a pioneer in digital real estate marketing and 3D property visualization (Jentec Interactive), I engineer superior digital exposure for luxury listings, ensuring my clients' properties cut through the noise and reach targeted buyers globally.
- The Financial Strategist: Utilizing my degree in Finance and executive experience managing $5M+ hospitality assets, I approach every transaction with a rigorous yield-management strategy—expertly pricing and negotiating to simultaneously drive up demand and final sale price.
- The Builder's Eye: Raised in the construction industry alongside my general contractor father, and formally trained in property rehabilitation, I help clients assess a property’s true structural bones, spot hidden value, and navigate complex flips and 1031 exchanges.
- The Empathic Advisor: As a former founder of a nationwide senior care agency (Age Advantage) and a certified Military Relocation Professional (MRP), I specialize in guiding multi-generational families through complex life transitions, from military PCS moves to senior downsizing and estate sales.
Whether you are looking to acquire a luxury high-rise in Little Italy or sell a multi-unit investment property, I offer the marketing edge of a tech pioneer, the rigor of a financial analyst, and the genuine care of a trusted advisor.
