I LOVE Real Estate! The best part of my day is helping my clients reach their personal goals regarding the purchase or sale of real estate. I have a strong customer service background which enables me to understand my diverse clients and help them with their specific needs. I worked in Title and Escrow for 4 years, which has given me a great background and understanding of real estate settlement. This is critical, because it helps me to identify issues during a transacation that can be proactively resolved leading to a smooth closing! I am also a licensed general contractor, this helps me help my clients when looking at homes because I am able to project cost and timelines for certain projects. I am a Family Man, so I know how important everyone’s time is especially regarding the largest transaction of a person’s life. I am organized, creative, and have great integrity! I would be honored to help you with your next transaction

Here is the breakdown of each one and why they’re both important when buying a home.
