As a licensed agent since 2003 and a licensed broker since 2008, I have weathered the storms of the real estate market. Along the way, I have gained a great deal of knowledge and experience, earning awards such as Top Producer and Re/Max 100. Beyond working with sellers and buyers, I also have experience in luxury sales, real estate investments, residential property management, and land sales. The bulk of my work has involved working with sellers, listing and managing REO properties (foreclosures), and commercial property management. I believe that one of the most overlooked aspects of real estate is the art of negotiation. It is important to understand the value of the asset you are contracted to represent, and knowing that value is crucial when entering into negotiations with other brokers and agents. The challenge lies in learning about your competition and their limits; the objective is to achieve what you want while still making it worthwhile for them, and the ultimate reward is my clients' satisfaction.
