In 1983 I began leasing condominiums for several developers. It was work I really enjoyed and I seemed to have a knack for it. With some encouragement from a broker friend of mine, I went back to school and earned the remaining hours required to obtain my license, However, I was pulled in a different direction and offered a position with a large bank in downtown Dallas. It was an offer that I could not refuse.So, I began my banking career paying my dues, working hard and with determination I moved through the ranks. I was fortunate to train with numerous real estate and civil litigation attorneys. I was promoted to specialist over the Recovery Legal Department. I was directly involved with probate, bankruptcy and civil litigation cases for the bank.My most favorite aspect of my job was civil litigation. I worked through a network of over 75 attorneys nationwide. I had the privilage of working with numerous attorneys on discovery, trials, and the judgment process. I traveled extensively auditing attorneys and appearing in court as a witness for the bank. I was usually the one in the "hot seat" being deposed by the defendant's counsel or going through court ordered mediation. I also had the unique opportunity of handling all of the Texas Justice of the Peace cases myself. It was a great experience and one that I will always be thankful for having the privilege to do. After about seven years, I decided to stop traveling and stay closer to home. Naturally, I went back into real estate. I obtained my real estate license in 1992. After passing the test, I began selling full time. My career went well for several years but I missed the legal work so I entered the title industry and have been closing real estate for over 25 years now. My goal was to learn the business from the inside out. Now having gained years of knowledge and experience handling real estate transactions I feel I am at the top of my game!Specialties: refinance rate and term, home Equity, reverse mortgage, FHA, VA, VA IRRRL, Conventional, 1031 Exchanges, tax sales and commercial.
