When working with a real estate agent to help you buy a home, be aware of one critical point: WHO DOES YOUR AGENT REPRESENT? If the agent you are working with is not your “Buyer-Broker,” anything you say to the real estate agent could be communicated to the seller. This is true even if you found the real estate agent, even if the agent shows you dozens of houses, gives you lots of advice, and spends lots of time with you — even if the agent has never met the seller before. I’ll always ask that you hire me as your “Buyer-Broker.” Under this arrangement I represent you, the buyer, and will look out for your best interests in the transaction, and as your buyer-broker, my professional service fee is typically paid by the seller.

When it comes to getting the most money for your home with the least headaches in the shortest amount of time, nothing can stop that process faster than overpricing. In fact, it’s the number one reason houses don’t sell. There's never been a more important time to have a trusted advisor you can count on when it comes to selling a home. The real estate market is changing at a rapid rate and it would be my pleasure to make sure that you always have the most current information you need to make the best decisions for you and your family.

My client base includes a diverse range of home buyers and sellers in all walks of life and situations. I’ve had the privilege of helping many homebuyers find their perfect home and helping many sellers reach their financial goals by selling their home for way, way more money than they expected.

I recently had the opportunity to help a retiree sell their home, and find them another home to purchase, that was more suitable for their health and current lifestyle. It was very rewarding to know that these folks now have a safe and comfortable place to call home and that their new home will meet their needs for years to come.

After a completing a successful tenure in financial services and mortgage lending, I decided to put my experience as a skilled communicator and negotiator to work helping my real estate clients make the best decisions for their individual situations.

Over the last 20+ years, I’ve built a reputation as a top-performing executive and operations leader with a proven history of consistently surpassing all performance expectations. I’ve routinely been recognized by my colleagues, superiors, and clients as someone who goes above-and-beyond their job description to ensure that the goals of my clients are met.
