Knowledge, Dedication and Integrity.

When choosing your real estate consultant in selling your home to buying a new home, you need a partner who has knowledge, dedication and integrity.

As a business executive, I have gained experiences that other Realtors® do not possess. My servant leadership model drives my “Client FIRST” approach to any aspect. I start by LISTENING and continue keeping your goals in mind, not mine. I bring that approach as a Real Estate Consultant, not just an ordinary agent.

Testimonials

Once I had decided it was time for a change, I reached out to someone that knew me and that I trusted. Joe always made me feel he had my best interest as his only reason for helping me. We functioned as a team and his suggestions were always in my best interest. I am now in my new home, and I give Joe all the credit for listening to my needs and not wasting time with useless visits to houses that didn't fit my criteria. BTW, I bought the first and only house I saw. Thank you, Joe, for being there when I needed a friend and a realtor second.

A Valuable Asset to Our Search Joe was a great asset to our search for an investment home in a tight market. While we searched high and low for a property that met our desires, Joe was consistently at the ready with a wealth of knowledge and a talent for setting up viewings lightning fast. We're very happy with our new property, and really appreciate Joe's diligent hard work through the entire process.

Tennetje M.

Provided good advice, safeguarded our interests as buyers and was always there the whole way. Highly recommend Joe for his knowledge, experience and professionalism. He made us aware of issues that only someone like Joe, with in depth experience and access to data unavailable to a buyer. In one case, we were ready to commit but he cautioned us on an undisclosed issue, so we backed out. In the end we found a wonderful house, thanks to Joe.
