About Us:

Sales, Service and Smiles

There are hundreds of real estate agents in Pinellas County. Why would you choose me? I'm good at what I do, but there are lots of good real-estate agents in the Tampa Bay area.

Truly, you need to be comfortable with your agent. After all, this person will be representing you through the process of completing a deal on one of the biggest investments of your life. If you have a close friend or relative with experience and a record of success in the local real estate market, you should give them a call.

If you're still reading, then you probably still don't have a clue who to turn to. Don't stress about it, I'll take care of you. Why me? I like to break it down to three things - Sales, Service and Smiles.

Sales At the end of the day, real-estate is about buying and selling property. The trick is to find the right property for the buyers and the right buyers for the sellers. Then, negotiate the best possible deal. Doing so requires that I continuously educate myself about the local market conditions and the most effective marketing methods. Beyond that, I ensure that the details of the transaction are managed completely and accurately. After all, it's usually those small details that cause headaches for everyone involved. I'm not a big fan of headaches.

If this all sounds like a lot of work, that's because it is. Fortunately, I love this stuff. When everything goes smoothly and my clients are happy, it's like a touchdown for the home team.

Service You're not like the other clients I serve. One of my greatest strengths is my ability to adapt to different people and different situations. You see, I'm not going to show you a bunch of houses I like. I'm going to show you the homes that are best for you based on the desires and budget you've given me.

Today's technology is fabulous. We can now quickly and efficiently share digital photos and other information. But, if you'd rather I picked up the phone or paid you a visit, I'm happy to do that too. The bottom line is that I'm dedicated to serving you. I will not waver in my professionalism and I insist on open, honest and ethical practices in all transactions.

Smiles Do you really want to work with a grumpy realtor? I'm a happy person because I love people and I love my job. I have a lifelong interest in homes and the real-estate business in general. This shows through my genuine love of the work, my "can do" attitude and plenty of smiles. My goal is to keep you smiling too!

Areas of Expertise

While I still love working with people buying and selling traditional homes, I am beginning to focus more attention on the "green" homes that I believe to be our shared future. Already, I'm seeing a lot more buyers who are concerned about the energy efficiency and environmental aspects of the homes they're considering purchasing. With my EcoBroker training and independent study of green topics, I can assist anyone in finding the level of "green" that is right for them, whether is general energy efficiency or full-blown certified green construction and furnishings.
