Knowledge gained from working and closing on 3400+ real estate transactions over my career has given me a unique insight that is exclusive to very few individuals. While maintaining the highest level of ethics and passing a consumer protection bill into law, I gained an experience of originating home loans during the early and mid-2000's and watched the build up of what eventually became known as the real estate bubble that turned into the Great Recession.I have seen every aspect of what home buyers and sellers should do, and not do, when it comes to the real estate industry. My goal is to utilize a wide base of knowledge with a range of assistance from developers to homeowners make the best decisions for their business and household financial future. I have personally recruited, trained, and motivated dozens of sales professionals over the past 20 years. I'm proud to have built a legacy of training many of the reputable, competent and talented mortgage professionals who are still in the industry today. Teaching others (loan officers, homeowners, companies & investors) by creatively offering my knowledge and experience in an understandable way is what I enjoy the most about this industry.
