I bought my first house in 1998. It was a condemnable 1853 Greek Revival that languished on the market for over 700 days. Where others saw blight, I saw potential. With a renovation loan attached to the mortgage, I restored it to its former glory, but updated with modern conveniences. The nearby homes soon followed until the neighborhood was rejuvenated and dubbed a new Arts District. As the property values rose I was able to refinance and leverage to add more multi-family properties and fix n’ flips to my portfolio. I sold the entire enterprise two decades later, including the original home for 10X what I paid.  

My story is not uncommon. This can be your story, too, on whatever scale you choose. Let me be your guide as we convert your dead-end rent-cycle into an equity-building future. Perhaps your family is growing and you need more space, or maybe it’s time to downsize with the perfect location and view. You are unique, your wants and needs are specific, and my passion is to get you from A to B with the courtesy, fluidity, and industry knowledge you deserve. I’m here to help you build your empire, or get it sold!
