"Since I make Ocean City my home, I routinely will see customers who have bought properties from me over the 35 years I've been selling real estate.

Being able to improvise and adapt is important when there are so many moving parts in a transaction, such as the buyer, the seller, the bank, insurance policies, home inspections, appraisals, certificate of occupancy, and summer lease transfers. Every sale has twists and turns and challenges. Just when I think I've seen everything, something new comes up, but that's what makes my profession so interesting. I love my job, and I think that shows each and every time I work with a buyer or seller. It's a honor to have a family choose me to represent them with such an important life decision. It's something I take very seriously."
