Silicon Valley local. Three generations deep.
My grandfather owned the grocery store in Los Altos. My parents grew up there. I've personally lived in Los Altos, Almaden,
Downtown San Jose, Blossom Valley, and Gilroy, so when I cover a neighborhood, it's not from a brochure.
Before real estate, I spent 8 years producing video at Google, plus stints at Tesla Fremont and on Intel's Thunderbolt campaigns. I know the campuses, the commutes, and the kind of life Silicon Valley tech workers are actually living, because I was one.
Today I'm a licensed Coldwell Banker agent, Top 10% in Santa Clara County and Top 7% nationally at Coldwell Banker.
This channel is honest neighborhood guides and home tours. No agent spin. Just a local's perspective on where to actually live in the South Bay.

New video is live. Brand new from the ground up.
So here is the question. If money was not the issue, what is the one feature you are putting in?
Mine is open concept between the kitchen and the family room. Love when those two spaces flow together. This home also had a built in espresso machine and now I kind of need one.
What is yours? Comments are open.

What does $2.2M actually buy you in Willow Glen right now? I walked through a beautifully updated home this week and one feature stopped me in my tracks. The back wall fully opens to the yard. True indoor-outdoor living.
