About:
I spent 25 years as a physician helping people deal with major life decisions regarding their health and well-being. As a Realtor, I continue to help people with major life decisions related to buying or selling property. I earn the trust of my clients by using the same caring and professional approach that I used while I was in medicine. There will be decisions to make, but I won’t leave any of it to guesswork. It should be fun!My life is certainly not all about real estate; I enjoy a variety of hobbies including wine, cooking, SCUBA, travel, and yoga. And I believe in doing something I love every day. San Francisco offers an in-depth experience in wine and food, as much as you could get anywhere in the world. I take advantage of dining in our superb restaurants and attending some of the many food and wine events in town. And I love my yoga classes at the Integral Yoga Institute, a great place to practice Hatha yoga in a serene attic atop a Dolores Street mansion.I am currently training for the AIDS Lifecycle Ride from San Francisco to LA. AIDS/LifeCycle is a fully supported, 7-day bike ride to raise money and awareness in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Every year, this landmark ride through beautiful California delivers a life-changing experience for thousands of participants from all backgrounds and fitness levels united by a common desire to do something heroic. You donations go toward a really important cause and are much appreciated! http://www.tofighthiv.org/goto/JimmyTMy father’s career took our family all over the world---from Aruba to New York to Japan, but I have lived in San Francisco since 1977 and it is still my favorite city! I have bought and sold numerous properties here, even prior to my career in real estate; I know the concerns of buyers and sellers from first-hand experience. My personalized approach to real estate complements the community-based nature of Vanguard. No matter what your needs are, I will work hard to ensure that you get the most out of this transition. I will provide a warm, professional, knowledgeable experience for both buyers and sellers in San Francisco.Professional:Vanguard PropertiesHerth Real Estate 2000-2012Graduate, Realtor InstituteBroker’s license 2006 (Broker Associate)e-Pro certificationEcobrokerCommunity:SPUR (San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association)Human Rights Campaign FundBay Area Physicians for Human RightsEducation:Golden Gate University, Master of Healthcare Management (1999)Surgery/anesthesiology residency, UCSF (1977-80)Baylor College of Medicine, M.D. (1973-77)Rice University, B.A. (biology and French) (1969-73)
