Third generation, born into it
Real estate isn't something I got into. It's something I grew up inside of. My grandfather started our family brokerage back in 1976, originally under our own name, Lehr Real Estate. My dad grew up in it, and so did I. I was cleaning out houses for the business at 14. By 15, I already had my first ticket for driving on the job. There was never really a moment I "decided" to do this. It was just always going to be what I did.
I've been a licensed agent for 5 years now, but that number undersells it. I've had a hand in this business, in one way or another, for most of my life. That's given me something a lot of newer agents don't have: a genuine feel for how this market moves, learned firsthand rather than out of a course.
How I work
I work with buyers and sellers across the Peninsula, from first-time buyers stretching for their first place in Daly City or South San Francisco, to families moving up in San Carlos or Belmont, to sellers in Hillsborough and Burlingame who've been in their home for decades and want it handled right.
My approach is simple: explain things clearly, tell you the truth even when it's not what you want to hear, and treat your biggest financial decision like it's mine too.
Outside of real estate
When I'm not working, you'll probably find me out fishing, riding dirtbikes or motorcycles, or just exploring around town. I like knowing this area on more than just a spreadsheet level, and honestly, most of what I know about a neighborhood comes from actually being out in it.
