Success is achieved through partnership - sharing dreams, setting proper expectations and having a plan. Ask about how my professional background can help YOU achieve your Real Estate goals!
PHILOSOPHY
Service360° is a personalized yet comprehensive and methodical approach to delivering superior service to the Real Estate Client. I offer years of real-world corporate and real estate experience, and am a full-time agent and "Top Producer" who gets the job done for the client. I take pride in managing a very select client base so I can give 100% each and every time, and I would challenge that my clients would say the same. Above all, real estate for me is not a hobby. I run my business like a business - and take the needs of my clients seriously, while enjoying building the relationship, even sprinkling a few laughs along the way!
APPROACH
It starts with an objective, evolving as a partnership through trust, respect, loyalty and open communication. It ends with a sale of your home that gets you where you need to be, or a purchase in the time you need to be there. Proactivity, alternate planning, "thinking outside the box" for creative solutions and a dedicated team of professionals are all critical components to your success.
If you're Selling - it's simply not enough to drop a listing into the MLS and place a sign in the yard to sell a home. Homeowners need to be proactive in today's real estate marketplace - and given 94% of homebuyers are online -an agent who knows how to leverage the internet (utilizing consumer-proven sites like ActiveRain, REALTOR®.COM, Yahoo Real Estate, GoogleTM Base, Trulia, Zillow, Facebook and vFlyer to name a few) to attract the largest pool of potential buyers is a sellers' greatest asset. 
Click here to find out what your Northern Virginia home is worth!
If you're in the market to Buy - it's critical to have a solid advocate by your side to guide the process and give you options to choose from along the way right up to closing. Factors like inventory, pricing, interest rates, government incentives and the like need to be balanced with the needs of the Client for the most favorable outcome.

First time homebuyer? 43% of my Buyer clients in the last 12 months were too. I guide my first-time homebuyers through the process every step of the way...from getting you preapproved within your budget, to setting the best possible expectations and taking you through each phase, one day at a time.
Interested in buying a Foreclosure (REO, or Real Estate Owned) Property? 19% of my Buyer clients bought a foreclosed property from me! Having experience with the banks helps me to help you be proactive and get the best possible deal for my Buyer clients. I also have experience guiding my Buyers through the short sale process.
PERFORMANCE
My personal performance metrics speak to my ability to get the job done for my clients, and I'm not shy about letting the numbers speak for themselves. For 2009-2010 I've closed over 12.5M in volume across 54 transactions.
