Realtor® proudly serving San Francisco, East Bay, Marin, and the Peninsula
-
I grew up in the Midwest, but San Francisco has been home since 2009—and I can’t imagine living anywhere else. Before real estate, I spent more than a decade in the restaurant world, managing live events, leading amazing teams, and working in some of the city’s most acclaimed Michelin-starred restaurants. Those years taught me so much about people, service, and attention to detail—and how to anticipate what someone needs before they even ask.
-
That same mindset guides me in real estate today. Buying or selling a home can feel overwhelming, and I love being the person who helps make it all feel simple and stress-free. I take pride in breaking things down clearly, answering every question along the way, and making sure my clients always feel informed and confident in their decisions.
I was lucky to start my real estate journey under the mentorship of Lance King, Founder and Managing Broker of King Realty Group. Lance saw something in me early on and gave me the chance to learn from the best before earning my license. That experience gave me the foundation, training, and confidence to deliver the highest level of service from day one—and it’s something I’m grateful for every single day.
Hi, I’m Elliot

Testimonials
-
Elliot was a pleasure to work with. He and his team were incredibly supportive and knowledgeable about all aspects of our purchase process. We purchased a TIC which can be tricky, and Elliot helped us seamlessly navigate the process of finding a lender, reviewing the TIC agreement locating an insurer (tough in this market) and using the information gathered to negotiate a great deal even with a tricky agent on the other side of the transaction.
-
Elliot and team made what is typically a stressful process feel much less daunting for us as first time buyers; they were thoughtful, supportive, and most importantly to me, not pushy. They understood our goals and financial boundaries and respected them during our search. Cannot recommend Elliot enough for your home buying and selling needs.

Bought a home in 2023 in Bernal heights, San Francisco, CA

Elliot's understanding of the market is truly unmatched. From our first call I knew we would be in good hands and we saw a few homes together the same weekend. We had to kiss a few frogs to get our dream home, but all I can say is, he was able to help us get EVERYTHING we were looking for and more. When our first and second offers didn't work out, Elliot called me and said "Just you wait, the perfect house is right around the corner -- and when you're in it, you'll know it was the right choice."

When our first and second offers didn't work out, Elliot called me and said "Just you wait, the perfect house is right around the corner -- and when you're in it, you'll know it was the right choice." Well sure enough it was and it was SOOOO worth a few more weeks of searching. We can't even believe we get to call this place ours- he even helped us find a house with a hot tub which was our ULTIMATE dream! Elliot is your biggest alley and will support what you're looking for all the way, but is also able to see beneath the surface and makes sure NO stone is left unturned. He has a realistic nature that is such a beneficial resource in the home buying process when you're looking at everything with rose colored glasses. He also can translate everything for us first timers and was so kind and easy to talk to (at any time too!) I can't stress enough that if you're looking for a house, or even just considering it, do yourself a favor and have a conversation with Elliot first, you won't regret it!

Bought a Single Family home in 2024 in Dimond, Oakland, CA.

We weren’t really looking for an agent when we attended an open house one day, but when we left after meeting Elliot we knew he was our guy. He is truly a rockstar real estate agent, and we are so happy to have had him help us buy our new house. What set him apart from all the other agents we met is that we immediately felt comfortable talking with him. He took the time to get to know us, and made sure we understood the entire process.
-
He also introduced us to his broker Lance King, which made us feel like the entire King Realty Group team was behind us. And as things progressed, it was obvious they were. Elliot is informed, pays attention to details, is easy to communicate with, and most importantly, a good guy and fun to work with. He made sure that we understood all the documentation as well as the issues with the house - there were many as it was a fixer. At no time did we ever feel pressure to do anything, just the opposite. At the end of the day he took a complicated deal and made it really easy for us, and we are grateful for his help. Elliot’s expertise goes beyond agenting. We had one issue that we didn’t know if it was going to be a problem getting a loan, so he introduced us to Sean Byrne at Wells Fargo, who was also amazing. Sean not only explained all the ins and outs of the lending process, but even got us an exception to get the loan. If you are looking to buy, just call Elliot. He and his team know what they’re doing, and you can count on them having your back every step of the way.
