Focus not on what you are pre approved for, but what your monthly payments will be when taxes, insurance, principle and insurance is factored in. Work with an agent that sends you properties that match your specific criteria. Don't wait to buy. Take advantage of creative financing when possible and interview a few agents to make sure you have one that you want to work with.

Videos win the day. Make sure the videos an images of your home tell the story of living there and why it is a great home. Price at or below market value to create demand. Work with an agent that markets your home like it is a prize property.

Up/Downsizers or rightsizers, as I like to put it. A number of first time home buyers. Investors, developers and house flippers. I have worked with short sales and luxury listings. Virtually anyone who wants someone who will listen and fight for them when it comes time to make a move and improve their life with real estate.

A recent deal I’m proud of was helping a first time buyer who had bid on over 12 properties over the two years of looking. When we came across a home that he loved in a location that he wanted to live in. We went in with a clear plan, strong terms, and tight communication with the listing side. We didn’t chase. We positioned. My client won the listing by paying a littl more and canceling the planned open house for the weekend. They moved in with confidence and have not looked back. They love where they live and remind me of it often.

You got into real estate to help people make better decisions at big moments in their lives. After 20 years in the food service industry, you were used to solving problems, negotiating deals, and managing complex projects. Real estate gave you a way to apply those skills in a more personal way, working directly with families, investors, and business owners. You also saw an opportunity to serve your community at a higher level. Not just through transactions, but by guiding people with clear strategy, honest advice, and a steady hand through a process that can feel overwhelming. At home, being a husband and father shaped your priorities. You wanted work that aligned with your values, gave you control of your time, and allowed you to show up fully for your family. Real estate became that path. It lets you stay close to your community, build relationships, and help people move forward with confidence.
