Your Home Deserves the Same Advice as Your Portfolio
20 years guiding the area's homeowners through their next chapter, calmly, quietly, and successfully.
Selling a home you've loved for years is a big decision. Usually it means something good comes next. Wine country. Tahoe. The life overseas. Somewhere with fewer calendar invites.
My job is to make the sale the easy part. I set expectations up front, send an update every week, and give you straight answers with numbers behind them. If something goes sideways, I own it and fix it.
You stay focused on what's next. I handle the details.
Selling Peninsula Homes
Record Sale, Portola Valley
Updates, Every Listing
Every neighborhood has its own character, from the brown-shingle homes of Professorville to the creekside streets of Crescent Park. Here's what makes each one worth knowing.
No pressure, no surprises, no manufactured urgency. A clear plan executed well.
What's next for you, what the home needs, and what the market will reward. No pitch.
Paint, landscape, staging. Money spent where buyers pay you back for it, and nowhere else.
You always know where things stand and what I recommend. Some calls take an hour. Some take two minutes.
Keys handed over, wire received, nothing left on your plate.

Stand on the main level and look through walls of glass. The first thing you notice is the treetops. The second is what you do not see: neighbors. Oak canopy and the open expanse of the Joan Olson Preserve fill the windows instead. Friends who visit call it the Treehouse.
What Clients Say
"Chris got to know us and our priorities, perhaps better than we knew ourselves. Knowledgeable, responsive, and patient the entire way."
"If you're reading this, work with Chris. He hits every mark of knowing, liking, and trusting. Simply the best I've worked with."
"Chris was incredibly responsive and professional throughout a complicated process. Our family could not have been more pleased."
Since 2005, I've helped buyers and sellers across Palo Alto, Atherton, Menlo Park, Portola Valley, and Woodside. I don't run a team. When you hire me, you work with me on every call, every negotiation, every decision.
I lead with data and back it with judgment. When broker consensus valued a Portola Valley estate at $40 to $45 million, I saw more. A year later it sold for $56 million, a record.
Most of my business comes from repeat clients and referrals. That's the review I care about most.
Sotheby's International Realty gives your home a worldwide stage. My own network, built over two decades of Silicon Valley connections, finds the buyers who matter. Broad exposure or a discreet, targeted approach, the plan is built around who your buyer actually is.
Off the clock, I'm home in Palo Alto with a blended family of seven, two golden retrievers, and kids in both Palo Alto and Woodside schools. You'll find me cycling the Santa Cruz Mountains or tinkering with an old BMW.
