Guiding You Through Life's Next Chapter

MEET ILAN

CA DRE# 02212484

I’m a longtime East Bay neighbor and trusted real estate advisor who believes that buying or selling a home is about more than a transaction. It’s about people, community, and stepping thoughtfully into what comes next.

I support new buyers and longtime neighbors as they move into their next chapter, with care, clarity, and a personal, steady touch. Whether you’re purchasing your first home, downsizing, or navigating a meaningful transition, my role is to make the process feel grounded, manageable, and human.

Before real estate, I spent over 25 years in sales and marketing, negotiating complex deals with Fortune 100 companies. Today, I bring that same professionalism, attention to detail, and advocacy to my clients, paired with a consultative, relationship-first approach. I listen closely, ask the right questions, and guide each step with intention.

I’ve lived in the Bay Area for nearly three decades and have deep roots in the East Bay, where I raised my family and built lasting community connections. I know these neighborhoods not just by statistics, but by experience - the schools, the trails, the local gathering spots, and the people who make them feel like home.

At heart, I’m a connector. I believe small moments matter, that clarity creates confidence, and that no one should feel rushed or alone during important life decisions.

Whether you’re just beginning to explore or ready to take the next step, I’m here to support you thoughtfully, patiently, and with care.

Community isn’t something I market, it’s how I live.

Rooted in Community. Active by Nature.

I’m deeply involved in Montclair Village and surrounding East Bay neighborhoods, helping bring people together, support local traditions, and strengthen the places we call home. From sponsoring long-standing community events to organizing neighborhood initiatives and hosting gatherings at my own home, my work is grounded in connection, care, and showing up consistently.

Success Stories

What Clients Are Saying

"I could write for days about what a great experience we had working with Ilan selling our first home. I don't know where to begin; we have too many good things to say! Absolutely invaluable, always quick to respond to all our questions and was available after hours and weekends with updates and information even when we were half way across the world. Ilan has an amazing eye for what will appeal to potential buyers and provided us with invaluable advice on what upgrades we should prioritize to obtain top dollar. She managed to find the right light fixtures, cabinet pulls, bathroom fixtures and even dropped off a car full of packing boxes to our house on a Saturday afternoon with her husband. Ilan always had our best interest in mind, and her efforts exceeded our expectation when the house sold quickly and above listing price, thanks to an excellent marketing strategy and a thorough understanding of the current housing market. Ilan went above and beyond numerous times and I can't imagine going through this process with anyone else. My family and I are so grateful to have had the privilege of working with Ilan, we would highly recommend her to anyone. I'd give her 10 stars if I could!"

"As a first-time homebuyer, I am truly grateful for Ilan's personalized approach and professional style. When meeting, Ilan took the time to ask what we were looking for and what specific support we needed on our journey. One of the things I relayed was my need for clear and proactive communications (e.g. understanding each item and knowing what would be coming next) so I could feel more comfortable with this process. Consistently, Ilan provided thorough updates and timely responses while generously sharing her market expertise, knowledge, recommendations, and professional network. Thank you, Ilan!"

"We worked with Ilan on our recent house purchase and couldn't have been happier with how smooth the process went and the expertise and service that Ilan provided. We were moving from out of town to a new area, and Ilan's insights and guidance on the local area and nuances in the purchase process that came with buying in the Bay Area were invaluable and really gave us confidence throughout what can be a very stressful process. We were thrilled with Ilan's partnership and highly recommend her to anyone looking for their next move in the Bay Area!"

"Working with Ilan to purchase my family's first home was the best decision I could have ever made. She provided all the information I needed to move forward in this market and was diligent throughout the entire process. I could not be more grateful for all that she has done for my family, and I know she will continue to do so with all of her clients. Thank you, Ilan."

"As a first-time home buyer I needed some extra handholding through the process. Ilan did a terrific job of guiding me through every step. She was very proactive in explaining how everything worked and was always available to walk-through the various documents answering any questions that came up. Ilan is also a great communicator she constantly provided updates letting me know where things stood. And she worked great with my lender as well as the seller's real estate agent to ensure everything went smoothly through the offer process and a very quick close. I would not hesitate to recommend Ilan to anyone looking for a great real estate agent."

"Ilan is an absolute gem! She helped us understand and maneuver through every step of the home buying process, making us feel comfortable as we made the biggest purchase of our life. We're glad to call her our agent and our friend!"

"When we started our search in Manhattan, we didn't realize how important it would be to have our own agent versus working with the listing agent selling the properties we were looking at. After speaking with Ilan, the value of having our own agent who was looking out for our needs and interests became clear. She was able to tap into her network of agents from across the country and match us with an agent here in NYC. Regardless of what city you're in, I would highly recommend Ilan as a knowledgeable real estate resource and someone who is well connected to other agents all over the country. Most importantly, she's super responsive, helpful and on top of everything!"

"Really enjoyed working with Ilan and appreciated everything she did to manage the entire process from start to finish. She did a great job with everything, kept me informed at the right level, and did what was needed when there was a hiccup at the end when we learned the sewer lateral, I replaced 10 years ago was not properly permitted. Very happy with Ilan's service, recommendations, and guidance."

"We worked with Ilan this fall, along with Marissa Harrison. Of course, Ilan was an extremely competent professional: she had a very detailed knowledge of the market and the neighborhoods we were interested in and was always available to view a new home. However, Ilan's human touch really helped lower the stress of the home-buying process. Ilan was genuinely excited about all of the homes we considered and even offered her own design and remodel ideas for each space. But even in the quick timeframes we had to make decisions, Ilan encouraged us to slow down and make sure the choice was right for us. After weekends looking for homes with Ilan, our toddler was sad to learn Ilan didn't come with the home!"
