Experience and Local Expertise
I have been a proud Central Florida resident for over 37 years and a licensed real estate agent for 13 years. Living and working here for so long has given me an intimate understanding of the local market – from neighborhood trends to the unique character of each community. I’ve watched Central Florida grow and change, and I use that firsthand knowledge to help my clients find not just a house, but a home that truly fits their needs and lifestyle.
Exceptional Service and Communication
My business is built on providing exceptional customer service and forging strong client relationships. I believe that effective communication is the cornerstone of trust, so I make it a point to keep you informed at every step of the buying or selling process. You can count on me to listen to your needs, respond quickly to questions, and always put your interests first. By maintaining open, honest communication and being available when you need me, I ensure that you feel supported and confident throughout our journey together. My goal is not just to close a deal, but to build a lasting relationship as your trusted real estate advisor.
Diverse Professional Background
Before focusing on my career in real estate, I gained a wealth of experience in other industries – experience that I now leverage for the benefit of my clients. Highlights of my professional journey include:
• Leadership roles at Universal Studios and Sea World Parks: I honed my management and customer-service skills while working for these world-class entertainment companies.
• Experience with Toll Brothers (national home builder): I gained valuable insight into quality home construction and the building process by working with a renowned national home builder.
• Property management expertise: I have managed residential properties, which sharpened my ability to advise investors and understand the rental market.
• Entrepreneurship as a business owner: I owned and operated my own storefront business, learning the importance of dedication, organization, and personalized service.
Each of these roles taught me valuable lessons that I apply to my real estate practice today – from strong leadership and organization to a customer-first mindset. My well-rounded background has been a key part of my success as a Realtor. In fact, I was honored to be recognized as a Top Producer in 2023 by Watson Property Management, a testament to the results I deliver and the dedication I have to my clients.
Personal Life and Resilience
I’m originally from Michigan, but I’ve called Florida home since I was a child. After studying at the University of Texas, I knew Central Florida was where I wanted to plant my roots and build my career. I’m also a proud father of three wonderful children – all college graduates now – and I understand the importance of finding the right home for a family. Being a longtime resident and dad has given me a deep appreciation for our community and the value of a comfortable home life.
Outside of real estate, I’ve faced personal challenges that have shaped who I am. I am a two-time cancer survivor, and that journey taught me the true meaning of perseverance, courage, and optimism. Overcoming cancer twice reinforced my “never give up” attitude and my empathy for others – qualities I bring into every client interaction. No matter what obstacles arise during a transaction, I stay positive and persistent, always focused on my clients’ best interests. These life experiences drive me to strive for the best in everything I do and to treat every client with care, understanding, and unwavering commitment.
