Welcome to my on-line resource. Whether you are a first time buyer or an experienced investor, you will find useful information about how to choose "just the right" property, making an offer, negotiating, financing, mortgage rates, moving, and everything involved in making an informed real estate decision in today's market. You can also browse my favorite links pages for fun and interesting links to all sorts of information, from golf to fishing, from travel to shopping, from vacation sites to Florida authors.
My area of specialty is residential real estate and I represent either buyers or sellers. As we work together we can explore the possibilities of the many new home communities, both single and multi-family or the secondary market. If you are thinking of building anything from a stable to a subdivision, we can find available land with appropriate zoning. Of course, if you are an investor, we can explore the various tax benefits a 1031 exchange might offer. Give me a call or send an email and let me know how I can help you.
In addition to my professional real estate experience in Florida, I've had the good fortune to be able to buy and sell residential real estate locally and in North Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia, as well as residential and agricultural real estate in Wisconsin, where I grew up.
So, please feel free to browse through this site to explore the Sarasota and Manatee County communities of Sarasota, Bradenton, Palmetto, Venice, Longboat Key, Siesta Key, St. Armand's and Lido Key, Lakewood Ranch, Palmer Ranch, The Oaks, The Meadows, all the Golf Course Communities, as well as the boating communities of Cortez, Osprey, Palma Sola, The Inlets, and Nokomis.
If you currently own property and are thinking of placing it on the market, this site contains information about preparing your home for sale, selecting the right agent, pricing your home appropriately, marketing it effectively, going through the inspection processes, and receiving a timely market evaluation.
Things You Should Know....
How does a real estate licensee differ from a REALTOR? To obtain a real estate license, there are a required number of classroom education hours prior to licensure, followed by a very challenging test. Still more classroom education is required and prior to each license renewal. Even with all that education, a licensee may not call themselves a REALTOR. To legally use the REALTOR trademark, a licensee must be a member of the National Association or REALTORS and is therefore bound by the code of ethics.
My Mission Statement: Providing professional real estate services in an organized, analytical, fun, fashion to customers with whom I create long lasting, mutually rewarding relationships.
