Your Questions, Honestly Answered.

I get paid the same ways as any other Realtor—with no other fees! I am paid via commission. This is one of the best parts of working with me— you would have hired a Realtor anyway, so you get one with a ton of extra expertise at no extra cost 🙂

I bring a moisture meter with me to showings, and I am a canary myself so can normally tell quickly if the home has a big mold problem. However, the true magic happens during Escrow. I recommend an ERMI, mold dog, and mold inspection so we thoroughly understand what is going on with the home. It is more money upfront, but brings so much knowledge and peace of mind long term.

This depends substantially on what you’re looking for, as well as whether you have a budget for remediation, as well as how sensitive you are. For some clients, we nail it fast (1-2 weeks). For others, we have to kiss a lot of frogs. We go through all of this in our thorough intake meeting.

We start with a free 30 minute consult call, then meet (ideally for coffee) for a thorough intake meeting. Leave the rest after that the same

It depends on how sensitive you are. Many, but not all, of my clients set aside a remediation budget prior to move in. We can move the needle substantially with some targeted remediation prior to move in, if time and budget allow!

There are many factors! We look at whether you feel at home in the community, assess for mold, assess for EMFs, evaluate the outdoor environment, discuss building science and healthy building materials, and more! The highest priorities for a healthy home are different for each and every client.

Excellent, actually! I’ve been at it for over a decade and ran one of San Diego’s most productive teams. My family comes from a deep real estate history, and it’s the only career I’ve ever known!

I can help sell your home whether or not it had environmental issues. If it did, I’ll help you navigate disclosing correctly (I have a lawyer that helps with this, too). Either way, we will get you top dollar and market your home like a pro.

This is soul-led work for me. Every family that I can help to avoid the pitfalls that I fell into means so much. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your trust and support.

Yes, they usually do. They are an extremely sensitive test with a ton of variables. They are only one tool we use—if the ERMI is awful, I normally advise that we cancel. However, if it’s low-moderate, we bring in a mold dog and mold inspector and understand what’s truly going on. An ERMI is just one tool in our tool kit and is not the end-all-be-all test whatsoever.

I really went through this too. The best way out is through, or so they say. Having a very experienced guide to help you navigate is the best assistance I can provide, and my clients say it makes such a profound difference. We can take things as slowwww as your nervous system needs to.

100%. Without a doubt. I have seen it time and time again. YES.

I custom-recommend inspections for each client and each property. Some of my go-to's are a mold dog, mold inspection, EMF inspection, roof inspection, sewer scope, and HVAC inspection. This diligence does get expensive, but the peace of mind is priceless, and the inspections usually have a great ROI as I can negotiate strongly for repairs/credits.

It is going to depend on your health history and goals, as well as your appetite to find/fix issues versus your need for a home that is already "plug and play!" We create this strategy during our intake deep dive.
