I grew up and live in the Pine Point area of Scarborough, ME. I became a real estate broker in 2005, but Real Estate is a family business for me and I've been involved in it my whole life. I also have a passion for computers and utilize the real estate technologies to their fullest. My experience working with apartments and with residential construction has given me insight into cost-aware construction and green construction and design. I can assist my clients with ideas and projections of what it might cost to remodel/rebuild or help sellers who want to spruce up before their property hits the market. I also can assist clients interested in "going green" for new construction and renovations with ideas about: passive solar, super-insulation, eco-insulation, thermal-imaging, geothermal, solar panels, solar hot water, gray water recapture, LEEDs points, local materials, etc. The merging of my computer skills and my construction knowledge enable me to quickly locate information, remain in constant communication with my clients, and explain the components of a house built today or 100 years ago. I can use computer techniques to show my clients such things as: where the property sits in relation to the lot and setbacks, what the house would look like painted a different color, how it might look with a garage added on, how a second bath would fit, how adding or removing windows and doors could enhance the property, and other ideas the clients might wish to consider.
