Summary

Had someone told me that I would be searching for a second job at this point in my life, I would have thought it laughable, but due to the high cost of living - here I am. I believe that the skills and experience I have gained over the past years will translate into a new and exciting opportunity.

The qualities I possess are that I am dedicated to giving clients first-class professional service and honest advice to enable sound financial decision-making in sales and purchases of real estate. Personable and ethical professional with several years of comprehensive experience buying and selling properties on behalf of clients. Versed in contract negotiation and contract management.
