I have a lot of experience working with clients in all categories from experienced investors all the way to first time buyer/sellers, whether it's with REOs, HUD homes, foreclosures, or regular sales.When I'm not working, you'll find me traveling, at sporting events (even when our teams are horrible), trying out a new restaurant, playing my guitar, going to see some of my favorite classic rock bands in concert, or getting some culture at the different museums around town.If I wasn't a Realtor, I think I would be starting a restaurant or trying to come up with the next big idea to make people's lives easier.I joined BP because I'm interested in networking, finding new clients to work with, and of course continuing my quest for constantly learning new things.If you think I might be a good connection, or at the very least a nice person, then I would love to talk!
