We believe in the ability of Real Estate to be so much more than JUST a home. Yes, your home will be a shelter. And yes, it will be a place to come back to after a long days work. It will be a place where your kids will forge their own memories and experiences. And yet, we believe that Real Estate can be so much more. Our philosophy is build upon the idea that owning Real Estate can set us all upon a path of financial independence, wealth building, early retirement and the ability to enjoy LIFE without the constraints of money.

I am a valuable resource in analyzing investment opportunities as my experience enables me to see values that others overlook and to work with architects, engineers, and builders to monetize them. This perspective can be useful to clients as they decide whether to purchase, improve, or sell one of their most important assets. I pride myself in finding deals for my buyers that are off-market and at a discount while I strive to bring my sellers top dollar as quickly as possible. It is not uncommon for my buyers to purchase for tens of thousands under the appraisal or get a premium property at the standard market comparable sales. I pay extremely close attention to local politics and land use so my clients can be out in front of the path of progress surrounding new anchor projects and developments.
