Real Estate Project Management & Land Capital
I work for the owner.
Running your project. Or funding your deal.
Two ways to work together
01 / Homeowners & real estate investors
Owner's Representation
& Project Management
Your architect designs, your contractor builds, and I help you stay in control — of the budget, the schedule, the quality of what actually gets built.
I represent you — from a one-time second opinion to running the whole project start to finish. Tailored service to your need.

Land Funding
& Capital Partnership
Capital for land, improvements and development — from a capital partner who buys, improves and sells land too.
JV splits, land-home packages, and transactional funding for double closings.

Three things that rarely sit in one person.
Design judgment
Trained as an architect, and I practiced as one. I understand design intent, proportion, material transitions and detailing — including where an ordinary material can feel considered simply because it was executed well. I can read a drawing set and see the decisions nobody has made yet.
Project discipline
Years running complex work for companies in the Bay Area — architects, engineers, contractors, furniture, interiors, landscape, vendors. Scope, schedule, decisions and follow-through. Complexity gets manageable when the operating system is clear.
Owner's mindset
I buy, renovate and operate real estate with my own money, and I fund other people's deals. Capital has an opportunity cost and so does time. Not everything deserves an upgrade, and every dollar should have a reason for being there.
Different work, one lens
Different contexts. The same care.
What changes between them is which lens matters most, and what the owner is actually worried about.
Homes, rentals and rehabs
Remodels, additions, ADUs, new homes, rental turnovers and rehabs. You care about how it will feel to live in, what it will cost, and whether you'll still be answering contractor texts at 9pm.
What I bring: the design eye to keep the intent alive through construction, and the discipline to keep the budget attached to reality while it happens.
Workplace and small commercial
Offices, small retail and professional practices. Landlord requirements, permits, long-lead furniture, and a date you can't move because a lease or an opening depends on it.
What I bring: the coordination work at scale — vendors, consultants, approvals — pointed at a project your size.
Land & development
Raw land, improvements, land-home packages and manufactured home placement. What matters is buildability, the cost of getting to a sellable product, and how fast the capital comes back.
What I bring: an honest underwrite, capital when it's the right deal, and a partner who stays useful through the exit.
