I serve as the company’s principal broker and oversee all corporate, commercial brokerage, project and property management operations. I am directly involved in all due diligence, acquisitions, dispositions and asset repositioning and represent both buyers and sellers of multi family apartment communities, office and retail buildings.
I have over two decades of commercial real estate and property management experience in several markets across the United States including Texas, South Carolina, Ohio, Iowa, Oregon, Montana, Washington, Idaho and Illinois. My expertise in real estate brokerage and property management is financial analysis and performance, due diligence, new construction lease-ups, construction project management of rehabs and turning around troubled assets.
I hold the IREM (Institute of Real Estate Management) CPM® Certified Property Manager designation which is the premier certification in property management. In IREM’s words, “The CPM is the elite mark of distinction those invested in real estate demand when they seek someone they trust with their assets. A CPM has the knowledge to maximize the value of any property, in any asset class”. I also hold a broker real estate license in Texas, South Carolina and Ohio.
I love helping our clients acquire the right investment property and meet their investment goals. I look for partnerships and not transactions which is why I take an active role in the due diligence phase and analysis. I work to bring clients the peace of mind that their investment is in the best hands possible. I enjoy being a contributing writer for the commercial real estate magazine, The Network. My passion is giving back to the local community and volunteer for organizations like Boy Scouts, Special Olympics and the USO. I love to travel and explore new places.
