I have been a Real Estate Broker for over 20 years.
It's the most satisfying job I've ever had.
Helping people find or sell a home is not only my job but my privilege.
Seeing the happy faces of my customers after they've 
Sold their Home or closed on they're Dream Home gives me great joy! 

God Bless our Military.

After retiring from the Toyota Corporation with 24 years of service I chose to embark on a new career in real estate. Prior to retiring from Toyota I had begun a rehab business and also started investing in Real Estate. I began by purchasing and rehabbing my own rental inventory, then moved forward and obtained my real estate license. I was able to help clients acquire properties and work with them throughout the rehab process sharing my expertise in this area. These clients also needed a resource for renting their homes after the completion of the rehab process which is how I came to form my rental management business. I began the rental management business due to requests from other owners/investors wanting better control of the properties with the emphasis on customer service. I currently manage over 100 properties in the Jacksonville Metro area (Arlington, Downtown, Northside, Southside, Westside). Contact me if I can help you to make your property work for you.

 Our focus is to find the most qualified rental candidate and to provide my clients the best customer service possible.
