The practice
Preparation before pressure.
The work begins by making the decision legible: the property, the local market, the contract, the likely negotiation, and the consequences of each available path.
Robert’s legal training shapes how contracts, contingencies, and disclosures are read. His decades on the Peninsula shape how streets, schools, and micro-markets are compared.
Robert remains directly involved from the first conversation through the close of escrow. He does not provide legal advice.
