Thank goodness for Google Calendar. My schedule changes from hour to hour, sometimes minute to minute, and I wouldn’t have it any other way because I love what I do.

Believe it or not, my military background prepared me well for a career in real estate. I grew up an army brat, in Massachusetts… and Texas, and France, and Rhode Island, then carried on the family tradition as an MP in Alabama, Germany, Maryland, Kentucky (waking up in Fort Knox is certainly an eye-opener). I’m sure you get the picture. A service member’s schedule is never their own, your life can change in an instant. As a REALTOR mine still does.

One of my favorite movie quotes, is a line spoken by Carl the FBI agent in Catch Me If You Can. Impersonating a pilot, Frank requests that Carl “Stop chasing me!” Carl replies simply, “I can’t stop, it’s my job.”

I feel that way every day. Every transaction is a story and each home buyer has a unique tale, a specific wish list. Every lender handles their bank-owned transactions differently. The vast world of short sales presents worlds of new challenges. Sellers in our current market face concerns that never existed before. Frequently I’m asked why I am so determined to make every one of these stories work out. I find myself replying, “I can’t stop, it’s my job.”

My clients ARE my job, so doing what’s best for the client is clearly my top priority. Your calls and e-mails will always be responded to… promptly! Even after the transaction is complete, I’m here for you. “I can’t stop, it’s my job.”

Yes, I do have a list of credentials and I’d be happy to recite them for you, but only on demand. My credentials are significant but not meaningful. Here’s what I hope you take away from this. I’ll be up-front with you. At the end of the day you will be satisfied with the job I’ve done. It’s what I learned in the military and what I believe is important.
