From 2013-2017, I WAS TAKEN UNDER THE WING AND PERSONALLY TRAINED AND MENTORED BY THE BEST REALTOR FOR THE PAST 30 YEARS, TO BE THE BEST REALTOR FOR THE NEXT 30 YEARS. The following is based on my personal beliefs, along with the way I was trained... I prefer calling it REAL ESTATE CUSTOMER SERVICE instead of real estate sales. Let's be real... No one ever wants to work with the "car salesman type." No one wants any BS or "sugar coating". They want GENUINE and HONEST. Well that's the only way I know how to be. No one wants to be sold. They want the Best Help they can get, and that's what I strive to provide, I make myself available 7 days a week. I fight very hard to get all my customers the BEST DEAL POSSIBLE. I will always tell you the honest truth, even if it might not be the best news. I'm not a lender, but I am very knowledgeable with the lending side of things as well. I have done business in Manatee, Hillsborough, Pasco, Hernando, and Polk counties and I have a great wealth of knowledge in all of those areas. I have great relationships with almost all of the builders in the Tampa Bay/Bradenton/Sarasota areas, which gives me and my customers a bit more of an advantage while negotiating on a new home. I am a VIP agent with the largest builder in the country, which can give my customers extra advantages when buying a new home. I've worked in customer service and with people my whole life. It's what I love about this business. It's all about people. IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU!!! My experience since being an active real estate agent is like very few. I have stayed very consistent in helping a lot of buyer and sellers on a regular basis. I have already helped produce over $35 million in real estate sales in the the 3.5 years I have been helping people achieve their real estate goals. In 2014, I helped our customers purchase over $9.07 Million worth of real estate. In 2015, I helped our customers purchase over $10.35 million worth of real estate. In 2016, I helped our customers purchase over $10.91 million worth of real estate. I started in this business working for a REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust). It taught me a great deal about how to properly invest in real estate, and at the end of the day, buying or selling a home is part of an investment, and most likely one of the biggest investments of your life. But in all honesty, I hated sitting in an office and not being around people as much. So I had to get out and start HELPING PEOPLE BUY AND SELL REAL ESTATE. I spent my first 3.5 years as a licensed real estate agent being personally trained and mentored by a man I would categorize as the one of the greatest Realtors ever. He has sold over $1 BILLION in real estate. He had been in the business for 48 years. During my time with him, we did over 130 real estate transactions together.
