Our Agents

My promise to you as a customer:

My philosophy of business has always been to treat you as I would like to be treated. This means as far as serving Buyers, I will help you buy a residence by educating you to make an informed decision, rather than trying to “sell” you a property. For sellers, I will price your property fairly to sell in expeditious time frame based on the Best Possible value you can bring at a point in time. Selling a home in 48 hours is usually not serving a seller’s best interest.

My Background

Knowing neighborhoods, school districts, the character of cities and towns is a very valuable service a Realtor has for serving his clients. Knowing your particular wants and wishes is a first responsibility and drives my recommendations for a successful living experience.

As a past builder, I know quality construction and can be counted on to give you advice as to which new construction communities rank on many levels to each other.

I look forward to serving your needs.
