I look forward to getting to know you better and help you realize your Sarasota
real estate goals.

I was named a Five Star: Best in Client Satisfaction real estate agent by
Sarasota Magazine and an independent research firm based on a survey of
clients and service providers.  Less than 7% of all Sarasota licensed real estate
agents were selected.

By providing you in-depth, expert local real estate information, and the very best
technology available, I trust you will select me as your real estate representative
when buying or selling real estate in the Sarasota area.
I am a bit of a contrarian.  For example, are you being told you need to pay
someone to handle your short sale with your lender?  
You don't have to.  Do you
instinctively roll your eyes when you first think about real estate agents?  Are you
frustrated with having to divulge personal information, just to view homes
online?  I'm with you.  This is precisely why I strive to be different.

Sophisticated representation doesn't mean showing properties from a luxury
car, dealing only with a certain price point, or wearing starched shirts in the FL
heat.  Instead, I believe in providing sophisticated representation through
outstanding service and experience that produces your desired result.

I am a dog lover and I have two pugs.  Fellow dog lovers will enjoy my
Pug Page
for some great pictures of my boys!  I give a donation to the
Humane Society of
Sarasota County with each house I sell when you or someone you refer to me
mentions the Humane Society.

As an avid boater with first-hand knowledge of our local waterways and
waterfront properties, I am very familiar with our area stretching from
Anna Maria
Island real estate to the north, south through Venice real estate and Boca
Grande real estate.  I will be able to help you determine the best neighborhoods
for your home search.

Potential buyers find my site
a valuable resource for
Sarasota, FL real estate.

search the site
So many real estate agents have what looks to be the same kind of website.  
Those template websites don't provide much useful local information.

I have prepared what I believe is the Sarasota area's most informative real
estate website, because educated clients make the best decisions.  On this
site, you won't be burdened by having to scroll through information designed
more for search engine optimization than providing real estate information.

If you are thinking of
selling your home, as you browse this site, you will see
how I specifically tackle old-school real estate philosophies.  I explain why the
old-school mass
marketing doesn't work as well as it used to when it comes to
selling homes.  

If you are a
home buyer, my approach takes full consideration of your
expectations and market trends.  I actively employ many of the same marketing
and
communication tools and techniques major companies outside of real
estate are using today, both for CRM and website design.
