How I sell homes differently
- 1
Valuation + strategy
We walk the home, run comps, and align on price + prep. I tell you the truth about what your home is worth and what would move that number.
- 2
Prep + marketing
Staging consult, professional photography, video tour, drone, social media campaign. We launch with intention, not just “MLS and pray.”
- 3
Showings + negotiation
We manage the showing schedule, gather feedback, and negotiate offers. I keep you informed without overwhelming you.
- 4
Close
Escrow, inspection response, appraisal, contingencies. I hold the timeline and chase the details.

Eichler buyer's guide
Buying an Eichler or mid-century modern home? What to look for, common issues, and what to pay.
A niche within a niche
Around 11,000 Eichlers were built in California between 1949 and 1974. About 1,100 of them sit in Sunnyvale alone — the largest concentration in the South Bay. No new Eichlers are being built, which is why every renovation decision matters, for owners, for buyers, and for the community.
Meet Jacob
I grew up in the Bay Area, got my license, and built my practice around the homes I love: mid-century modern, post-and-beam, the Eichlers. Whether you're buying, selling, or just exploring, I bring local knowledge, modern marketing, and a designer's perspective to every conversation.
Jacob's monthly notes on Silicon Valley real estate + design
I send one email a month: what I'm seeing in the market, the homes I'm touring, and what I'm learning about mid-century modern design. No spam.
