Andrew

For more than 15 years, I’ve helped Southern Californians unlock the full potential of real estate—from beach-city condos to wine-country estates. My journey began thousands of miles away: I grew up in South Africa, came to the United States in 1986 to chase the American Dream, and earned dual degrees in Computer Science (B.S.) and Business Management (B.A.) from the University of Puget Sound. That blend of analytical rigor and entrepreneurial insight has shaped my entire career.
 

A Track Record of Versatile Success
 

• Residential & Commercial Expertise – Sales, purchases, and leasing for primary homes, vacation properties, and mixed-use assets.

• Investment Strategies – Fix-and-flip projects, long- and short-term rentals, 1031 exchanges, and senior-housing solutions.

• Fractional Ownership Pioneer – Guiding clients into second-home and vacation-rental shares that deliver income, appreciation, and tax advantages without additional mortgages.

• Tech-Forward Marketing – Leveraging AI-driven targeting, immersive video, and data-backed pricing to shorten days on market and maximize net proceeds.
   

What Sets Me Apart
 

1. Investor’s Mindset – I evaluate every deal as if it were my own capital on the line, balancing cash flow today with appreciation tomorrow.
    

2. Hands-On Guidance – From first tour to closing table and beyond, you’ll work directly with me—never handed off to assistants.
    

3. Local Intelligence – Deep relationships across San Diego County, North County Coastal, and Inland Empire communities such as Temecula, Murrieta, and Menifee mean early access to off-market opportunities and trusted service partners.
    

4. Global Perspective – My background as an inventor, guide, and retailer in the scuba-diving world taught me how to translate complex details into clear, actionable plans—skills I now deploy to simplify every step of your real-estate journey.
    

Life Beyond Real Estate
 

When I’m not negotiating a deal or previewing properties, you’ll likely find me mountain biking local trails, sailing the Pacific, scuba diving, exploring new restaurants, or catching live music with family and friends.
