After 20 years of military service in Logistic and customer service, I am doing what I love to do; helping people and solving problems. Buying and selling a home can be stressful. As your Realtor, my goal is to provide timely and accurate information, unbiased guidances and take actions to reduce anxiety and stress associated with the sale of a home. I take pride in providing exceptional service to families and investors. I have seven years of real estate experience.

FAQ
1. What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?
Be prepared and learn how the home buying process works. Get your financing in order and hire a good realtor and loan officer. Conduct research on the location to learn about possible flooding, crime, school zone, access to public service, etc.
2. What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?
Contact a realtor for an estimate on how much your home is worth in the current market. Ask the realtor to suggest things that need to be addressed before listing. Don't waste money on items that do not add value to the house. Pay attention to the curb appeal, declutter, use neutral color paint throughout the house, powerwash, and clean the house.
3. What types of clients have you worked with?
I help investors, first-buyers, empty nesters buy, sell, and rent properties. I have received extensive training in the sales of luxury homes to include waterfront properties and ranches.
4. Describe a recent transaction you are fond of. How did it go?
I worked with a buyer for 11 months and was finally able to watch her open the door to her new home and new life. She was in a "hostile' situation and sometimes she just needed to vent, so I listened and provided advice. When I finally found her the right home, the listing agent and seller would not honor the items on the PICRA, even had a lawyer contact me hoping to scare me into accepting their terms. In the end, I was able to get her a good deal. This deal sharpened my negotiation skills and affirmed my belief that I can handle any deal.
5. How did you get started in Real Estate?
I started in real estate as an investor in rental properties while I was enlisted in the US Navy. I obtained my listened and because worked part-time will on active duty and have been a full-time realtor since my retirement in 2016.
6. Do you have any special education or training that will benefit your clients?
I approach real estate as if I was studying to be a doctor. I am constantly learning so I can provide exceptional service to my clients. I am a Premier Luxury Marketing Consultant. Trained in the sale of Distinctive Properties with ERA Real Estate. My military training in Logistics Management, Finance and just been a leader have provided invaluable tools that I use to solve problems. My clients love my work ethics, knowledge, communication skills, temperament, and ability to focus on solutions instead of the problems.
