Trusted by Silicon Valley's most discerning families for over a decade.
Jo's path to luxury real estate was anything but conventional. After earning her MBA from the Wharton School of Business and spending eight years in management consulting — advising Fortune 500 technology companies on growth strategy — she relocated to the Bay Area with a singular vision: to bring institutional-grade analytical rigor to residential real estate.
What began as a personal fascination with architectural design and community planning quickly evolved into a career defined by precision, advocacy, and genuine human connection. Jo understood that for the engineers, executives, and founders she worked alongside every day, buying a home wasn't just a transaction — it was a declaration of permanence in a world defined by velocity.
Over the past twelve years, she has guided more than 300 families through the most competitive residential markets in the nation. Her clients span the full spectrum of Silicon Valley — from first-time homebuyers navigating Cupertino school districts to serial founders divesting eight-figure Atherton estates.
Today, Jo is recognized as one of the Bay Area's most trusted advisors — not because she closes the most deals, but because she treats every client's goals as if they were her own.
Jo doesn't just work in the Bay Area — she lives it. Her children attend local schools in Palo Alto. She volunteers at the Stanford Hospital auxiliary board. She knows the difference between a teardown on Waverly and a heritage home on Professorville, and she understands why that distinction matters to you.
Her deep relationships within the tech community give her access to off-market opportunities that never appear on the MLS. She speaks the language of equity compensation, IPO lockup periods, and RSU vesting schedules — and she structures her advisory around the financial realities her clients actually face. Whether you're relocating from Shanghai, Bangalore, or Austin, Jo bridges cultural nuance with local market mastery.
From the oak-lined avenues of Los Altos Hills to the modern mid-century enclaves of Eichler homes in Sunnyvale, Jo's knowledge of the Peninsula's micro-neighborhoods is encyclopedic. She has walked thousands of properties, attended hundreds of open houses, and studied every permitting trend, school boundary shift, and zoning change that shapes property values in the region.

Jo believes that a great real estate advisor must also be a great neighbor. She serves on the advisory board of the Palo Alto Community Fund, supporting affordable housing initiatives and youth education programs across the Peninsula. She is an active member of the Gunn High School Parent-Teacher Organization and has helped coordinate the annual Los Altos Hills Community Fair for the past six years.
Her charitable work extends to partnering with Habitat for Humanity Silicon Valley, where she has personally contributed to three home-building projects. Jo also mentors aspiring real estate professionals through the Asian Real Estate Association of America (AREAA) — helping the next generation navigate the industry with integrity and excellence.
Jo helped us navigate a highly competitive bidding situation in Old Palo Alto. Her market intelligence was extraordinary — she identified a property before it hit MLS and positioned our offer to win against seven other bids. We closed under asking. She's not just an agent, she's a strategist.

We relocated from Beijing and knew nothing about the Bay Area school systems or neighborhoods. Jo spent hours educating us — not selling us. She found a home in Cupertino that checked every box: top-rated schools, commute proximity, and a floor plan perfect for our extended family. We are forever grateful.

After 22 years in our Atherton home, selling was emotional. Jo handled everything with sensitivity and precision. She staged the property beautifully, orchestrated a private showing strategy, and ultimately sold our home for $1.2M above our initial expectation. A consummate professional.
