As a former college athlete, NCAA college basketball referee for 17 years and having served in United States Marine Corps, I have a unique perspective on how important teamwork and discipline are when working with customers, Realtors, and lending institutions.
For most of my adult life, I’ve owned new car dealerships and been in the business of consulting and teaching leadership and communication skills in that industry.
I’ve purchased over 30 properties in my lifetime, so I know full well from both the selling and buying sides how frustrating and stressful the experience can be.
My number one goal in working with you as a buyer or seller is to make the experience as easy and as seamless as possible.
I look forward to the opportunity of working with you. I am available 24/7.
