As a native of Tampa and former Broker- Owner of my own real estate firm, I offer a decided advantage to my clients through a good mix of local knowledge, historical perspective and extensive experience sine being licensed in 1980. The hard-earned reputation I've crafted over the years is founded in bringing a professional, commonsense approach to the process. I love this area and care about the clients I have had the privilege to serve over the years. My business philosophy is simple; Provide the best service I can'which enables my clients to make the best decisions for them. Their trust is paramount to me and I take their needs seriously. And even though I employ a straight-forward, pragmatic, organized and analytical approach, I do believe it helps to bring a sense of humor to the process. Why not have a little fun while we are sharing time together? Providing the best service means there is not a 'numbers game' mentality here. I do not employ the team concept passing people off to some detached or inexperienced assistant. Or use a 'call center' to answer people trying to get answers to their important questions. My customers get direct access to me at all times. The philosophy lets me both fully engage customers and actively use my negotiating skills and accumulated experience to produce the results my loyal clients have come to expect.
