About Lisa

My mission is to simplify and enhance the real estate experience for clients in the San Francisco Bay Area by providing expert guidance, insightful market analysis, and tailored strategies. I am committed to delivering exceptional value and building trust with homebuyers and sellers. My approach ensures that every transaction is seamless, every decision is well-informed, and every client outcome strengthens the community connections that enrich our lives.

I was raised in San Francisco and earned my Bachelor of Arts degree in Legal Studies from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1999. Following my passion for travel, I spent a year with the Associate Kyoto Program at Doshisha University, Japan. After that, I spent the next 14 years in Asia, most recently working for the renowned Peninsula Hotels Group in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Paris. I was responsible for the operational development and planning of The Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels, Ltd., which included advancing the group’s portfolio of Peninsula hotels in Asia, the United States, and Europe. This involved opening The Peninsula Shanghai in 2009 and The Peninsula Paris in 2014, both of which are part of The Peninsula Hotels Group.

My transition from luxury hospitality to real estate blossomed in 2019 when I became involved in mixed-use development projects in San Francisco, the UAE, London, and Italy. With over 15 years in a wide spectrum of real estate, my experience encompasses developing, operating, managing, leasing, buying, selling, and marketing properties has been my passion.

My background in technology and community engagement allows me to stay ahead of tech trends in Silicon Valley. As founder of Friends of the Metaverse + AI, I work with high-tech executives and VCs in hosting educational and networking events and conferences in Silicon Valley and virtually for a global network. Prior, I served as executive director at Asia America MultiTechnology Association (AAMA).

I am trilingual and have a strong affiliation with U.C. Berkeley, currently serving as a board director of the Cal Alumni Association and an Advisor at Berkeley SkyDeck. As a lifelong learner, I completed the Venture Capital Executive Program at Haas School of Business and a Certificate in Hotel Revenue Management from Cornell University.
