A matter of the heart and the pocketbook
At times I feel torn between playing cupid (helping you find a house to fall in love with) and your accountant (finding a house that you can afford). Buying a home is both a matter of the heart and the pocketbook. One really does not outweigh the other. As your real estate agent, I'll help you find a happy balance between the two.
First, you'll benefit from the wealth of experience I bring successfully negotiating and closing deals in the Tampa Bay Area real estate market. I'll help you find the house and the neighborhood that will meet your emotional and financial needs for today and tomorrow.
Next, I'll do everything I can to take the stress out of your home buying experience. There are hundreds of details that go into each real estate transaction, let me handle those for you. And let me help you find a lender, inspector, appraiser and all the other service providers that make for a smooth and worry-free transaction.
Whether you are a first-time buyer or a "real estate veteran", I'm ready, willing and able to answer all your questions about the current real estate market and the home-buying experience. You'll get honest answers to all of your questions.

Remember the times we would all sit in a stadium and somebody would start the WAVE?
At first one, two or three people would take the risk of starting a small wave. Then foolishly they would turn to those behind them and encourage the others to join in. This would be repeated until the next section would join in. Then the next section and the next section and the next section. Until finally there would be one full revolution around the stadium. The next revolution more would join and the next reveloution even more. And soon you would have the WAVE.
Well, I am somewhat new to social internet marketing and for that matter web 2.0. I have hours and hours of Twittering, Facebook and web site tinkering. I often wonder ... "What will it look like when I get there?" Another question I ask is ... "How will I know?"
The video I have included is from the web site Born Again American. The site allows for song writers, mucisians and, well, Americans to contributute. You will see that you have the ability to remix the song and theme. Go to the web site link if you would like to see more on how this web site is a tremendous example of social interent marketing at work.
I viewed this video and saw the talent, creativity and love we have in America. It just made me feel good. I hope you do as well.

A rarity in the Tampa and Brandon area! One of the few that can claim being a life time local. Local knowledge and experience was a natural fit to become a real estate professional. Localism.Com
How did I get to where I am?
I feel fortunate to have lived in the Tampa/Brandon area all of my life and yet have seen a lot of the world. My travels are the result of time spent in the Navy that introduced me to parts of Europe along the Mediterranean Sea. North American travel was extensive during a 17 year employment with Eastman Kodak.
My last ten years with Kodak prepared me with the professional experience that would be incorporated into the real estate and mortgage business. As a national public speaker, trainer and coach for Kodak, I had the opportunity to discover what people want and need most.
What do most people want?
How does one find the right real estate agent to hire? The search can be daunting. Maybe you go by the most signs that you see along the roads and byways or maybe even the most bus benches. Perhaps the "Million Dollar" or "Multi Million" or even "Multi, Multi Million Dollar Round Table" agent would be your choice.
This is where the Kodak experience comes in. I never met anyone that cared whether Kodak was a major Olympic sponsor or had invented amateur photography. No, what Kodak understood was that people cared most about their Kodak moments. What people wanted most was their memories recorded forever.
I have found that home buyers are most interested in hiring someone that understands they want more that a house. What they want beyond a house is a home. Yes, a home that provides them their own Kodak moments. They want a house that will give them memories to hold and to cherish.
Interestingly, home sellers are not removed from that same kind of sentiment. Many would be surprised at how often I hear home sellers comment that they hope we find "just the right family" to buy their home. Their memories and moments in their home extend beyond the "For Sale" sign and to a hope that we sell to someone that will love the home as they have.
When we are asked to find a 3, 4 or 5 bedroom house, our mission is to find a house that will become their home!
Why Diamond Dwellings?
Diamond Dwellings gives us the ability to be the "Brandon Area" experts and provide the latest in web 2.0 marketing to our customers. Brandon Dwellings has positioned us in the market for the next decade and we are truly excited about what the future holds for us.
