What differentiates me from a traditional retail estate agent?

  • I have a team and network of people who are contractors, lenders, property managers, insurance brokers, cleaners, appraisers, and accountants who are both investor- and retail buyer-friendly.
  • I bring value in terms of numbers. I’ve run numbers hundreds of times on both investor properties and potential properties of my own. I know market rents and can identify how to force appreciation on subject properties where many agents may miss this.
  • If you are a current or future investor targeting short-term, mid-term, or long-term rentals, I have the right mindset to help you navigate investing. I have several short- and long-term rentals of my own and I am a lifelong learner and regular contributor and attendee of real estate masterminds and conferences, including Spartan League (from David Greene), founding and current member of BetterLife (from Brandon Turner) , BiggerPockets Conference, Limitless Conference, and more.
  • Although I am not an attorney or CPA (and won’t advise as either!), I can share some of the key areas of focus for investors to gain legal and tax advantages, such as cost segregation studies, accelerated depreciation, and legal entity structuring.
  • Most importantly, I am really focused on the relationships I form with my partners and clients. I am not transactional and looking to simply close a deal and move on to the next. I want to create such a great experience for the buyer or seller that they refer me to others or choose to purchase/sell additional properties with me. In my first year as an agent I had multiple clients purchase more than one property with me.

Relationships are first​

I am really focused on the relationships I form with my partners/clients. I am not transactional and looking to simply close a deal and move on to the next. I want to create such a great experience for the investor (or retail buyer/seller!) that they refer me to others or choose to purchase/sell additional properties with me. Just in my first year I’ve had 2 clients purchase more than 1 property with me.
