Broker - Realtor

DRE#: 01362169

You can tell a lot about a person by their past experiences, business successes, awards won and client testimonials.

From 1970 to the present I have been through many successful careers. A CPA in the 70's, a CEO, President and software developer with OfficeMate, Inc. in the 80's and 90's and a CEO of an international 3-D animation company and a Realtor for Coldwell Banker Landmark Group and then ReMax in the 2000's. Throughout these careers I have experienced all facets of business, including but not limited to crafting and negotiating contracts, communicating with people, keeping my word and being honest, forthright and responsible.

As a Realtor I am able to use all the skills, experiences and integrity I have developed throughout my business career and work for and represent anyone who wants to buy or sell a home. The power of being a Realtor and protecting clients is knowing the contract and how to craft a contract. Anyone who has the proper educational background and then passes a test with a grade of 70 can become a Realtor. Past experiences, credentials, integrity, knowledge of people or contracts does not matter. Are Realtors used car salesman as I have unfortunately heard many times or are they your agent who crafts a proper contract, negotiates the contract and then protects you throughout the entire transaction, even beyond the day you move out or in.? I have the credentials, knowledge and business acumen to work for and protect you throughout the buying or selling process. Check out my past client References.

Sales and Marketing Oriented

To date, I have sold my listings at an average of 98.9% of the original list price in an average of 36 days. As an entrepreneur and businessman since 1970, sales and marketing has been the "lifeblood" of my success. If no one knows about a product it will not sell. Your home is a product and how it is marketed will determine whether it is sold and/or how fast it will sell. If no one knows it is available for sale, if it is not "staged" properly and marketed aggressively to the right audience, it will not sell. Sales and marketing is my specialty.

Quality Service

Throughout my business career service was always the hallmark of my businesses. "Treat people the way they want to be treated themselves;" is not just a cliché catch phrase, but that by which I lived my business life. "My customers become my friends." After they bought my service or product I could sleep nights knowing I served my clients to the best of my ability. I would rather turn them down then let them down if the product was not for them.

Detail Oriented

There are an enormous number of details to be managed before the buying or selling of a home. However, once the sale goes to escrow there is another enormous task to oversee each detail and continually move the transaction forward to have a successful close. Whether managing the escrow or solving problems, my past experience of doing exactly the same with software development will serve you wisely as you buy or sell a home.

I founded OfficeMate Software Systems in 1981 and was the President and CEO. OfficeMate developed the 1st practice management DOS based software program for the eye care industry. It was developed, for the just introduced, IBM PC. I was the project manager for the development of the software programs. Subsequent to that I was project manager on the development of a practice management program for Dentistry. After Windows was introduced I was the project manager to convert the DOS based programs to Windows based programs. This attention to detail, ability to listen to needs and organizational and project management skill serves my clients greatly in the real estate transaction.

Trusted Advisor and Negotiator

As your Realtor I will be your trusted advisor and skilled negotiator to assist you with what may be the largest financial transaction of your life. As a businessman and CPA, I advised many clients and companies. I was their trusted advisor in all areas of growth. In the sale of business and products I was a skilled negotiator dealing with third parties, lawyers, CPA's and other businessmen. In your real estate transaction these same skills are at your side.

Problem Solver

During my career, times have not always been smooth. There were many problems along the way. However "problems are opportunities" and the problems must be solved. Problems are a part of any transactions amongst parties. The way and the timeliness of how they are solved is another skill I can offer you as your Realtor.

Communicator

Communication may be the most important part of any transaction. As your advisor, not only will I be communicating with all parties during the escrow phase, but also I will communicate with you and keep you abreast of all facets of the transaction according to your needs both during and after the sale. In today's' technology, with phone and e-mail, there is absolutely no excuse for not staying in touch regardless of where you are.

Peace of Mind

Throughout the transaction I will present you with all market information so you are knowledgeable and comfortable with your decisions. I want to make sure that with this information you have the piece of mind to know you made the right decision.

Awards Won as a Realtor

The awards I have won as a Realtor are many. It is proof that what I have written above are not just words. First I am very proud of the Testimonials I have received from my satisfied clients, now friends. I am also proud that I can give you a list of all of my clients as References, not just a few. As a Coldwell Banker agent I have won numerous company wide awards, but the award I am most proud of is the Presidents Circle Award for Customer Satisfaction.
