Having lived in 23 houses in her lifetime, Mekhala knows how important where you live is to your happiness, your career, your relationships and your family.

Mekhala was born in Dubai at the very start of the city’s dizzying rise. Acres of sand turned to acres of lush grass overnight and the tallest building at 10 stories high, was quickly dwarfed by another one at 100 stories high just next door.  After grow-ing up in Dubai, New York and Pebble Beach, CA, Mekhala craved the buzz of a big city with a more cosmopolitan sway, and made her way to London to study at the London School of Economics.

During her final year at LSE, Mekhala joined a small tech start-up as a Summer intern. In a cramped office in London’s SoHo, Mekhala helped four founders build from their small idea to the internationally-recognized, top-ranked iPhone app, Shazam. For more than a decade ensuing, Mekhala worked in tech until having her two daughters. Her dear friend, Butch Haze, told her she should pursue a job in real estate because "it's so flexible" as a new mom. He lied. Mekhala joined Butch's team first to build an innovative mobile app, allowing real estate agents to shoot, edit and publish property videos. The energy of Butch's team and the San Francisco housing market were infectious, and Mekhala quickly turned in her techie hat to join the team as a full-fledged real estate agent. She has found her niche in knowing what buyers want and how to make properties irresistible to that smart real estate investor or family after their dream home. She helps homeowners turn small investments into big profits with her unique blend of real estate and renovation expertise, marketing skills, and tech-savviness.

Mekhala lives in San Francisco with her two young daughters. Her other areas of expertise include San Francisco restaurants, preschool admissions, and Succession.
