What do you like most about real estate?

I love how every day is different. Every deal spurs some sort of new and challenging obstacle, and I love being able to think outside the box or dig into the memories of my past deals to find the best solution to fit my client’s needs.

Areas of the home one should invest in?

Bathroom and kitchen remodels are great investments. Many times, they can give you a return of more than what you paid for them. When it comes to construction, these are the most expensive parts of a house, and they are where people tend to spend a lot of time.

Advice for a new agent?

Never stop furthering your education in the field. After 18 years in the business, I still learn something new with almost every deal.
