A career is built by adding value to others as effectively as possible. I've built my career on solving problems and filling gaps where my clients express a need. It started by learning to become a general contractor and is progressing far beyond that.

To understand what I offer think of building yourself a local team to manage your investments, but then mold all of those team members into one person and then build a business from him. At the request of some clients I became a general contractor, got licensed and insured, hired a crew, scaled my property management systems and staff, and built supporting businesses. My team of 20 employees and 5 agents strives to solve every problem for our clients which would otherwise discourage them from investing in the Poconos. At the moment we manage over 150 doors between long term rentals, vacation rentals, office spaces, and flips. We even manage two condo associations.

The Poconos is a unique investment opportunity because of year round attractions. The area is considered by many to be the indoor water park capital of the world. There is also three major ski resorts attracting active visitors from New York City and Philadelphia as well as the suburban areas surrounding them and NJ. In the Summer the Poconos has great weather and many lake communities for visitors to enjoy hiking in state parks as well as fishing and boating. Resorts go into growing vacation markets with rising tourism and is another indicator that big businesses see the trends going in the right direction for the Poconos. Those resorts and supporting industries require service personnel who earn $14-24/hr and generally need affordable housing. This has led to a housing shortage in the area where there is a significant need for affordable long term rentals. Every time my team lists a rental we are inundated with phone calls and applications, partly because of our philosophy and marketing efforts.

My business, Galvanized Management LLC, is able to help you find a property with opportunity, renovate value into it, rent it to a quality tenant, and hold or sell the investment. We are happy to work with investors at the level they desire, so if you want to host the property yourself, or you already have a GC and cleaner, our mission is to help where you want help; a la carte.

When I started in real estate it was as a landlord. That led me to getting my license and $1M in closed transactions my first year in sales with an average transaction price of $150k. Since then I have done over $3M per year and $6M last year. In 2020 I transitioned from my career as a Math teacher to focus exclusively on real estate. I loved the same things about teaching that I love about real estate; teaching people how to succeed by solving problems.
