I have been in the lending, real estate, and property management industry for over 20 years. I received my Real Estate license and purchased my first rental property in 2002. Prior to then, I helped my family manage many of their rental properties. In 2004, I received my Broker’s license and began managing properties for clients.

I specialize in purchasing, selling, and managing investment properties. I prefer to keep my portfolio and business radius small in order to be more attentive to my clients and their tenants.
