About:
MILITARY BACKGROUND: My wife, Paula, and family and I moved to the Northern Virginia area when I was stationed here in late 1995 in the Air Force. After another 10 years and two back-to-back military assignments, I completed a satisfying career in the United States Air Force retiring with 20 years of service as a Major and Chief Systems Engineer for a large Defense communications organization in the area. CHOOSING REAL ESTATE: Having completed a Bachelor's degree in Computer Systems Engineering at Arizona State University and a Masters in Electrical Engineering at Stanford University, I was well poised to continue on as a Defense contractor...but there was something missing. I felt God was leading me to something different where I could help people in more tangible ways. Real Estate seemed to be a natural transition, and we haven't looked back since! AREA EXPERTISE: I am very familiar with the Fairfax, Prince William, and Loudoun county areas, having helped buyers and sellers in all three counties. Living in Prince William county and having an office in Fairfax county enhances my exposure to and ability to serve these areas. SPECIALTIES: I have focused my business over the last year on listing and selling foreclosures in this unique market. Contact me for the latest best deals!. I'm also certified by CARTUS as a relocation sales and marketing specialist which means I have the skills, training, and experience to list homes for departing relocation employees and assist with homefinding for arriving relocation employees. Of course I apply those same skillsets to my local clients for the best service possible. I have experience in new home sales, single family home, townhome, and condo listing and sales and can help you with your needs, large or small. I particularly enjoy working with first time buyers, helping you navigate through what seems like an overwhelming web of processes and forms! RELOCATION: Having moved 13 times in my military career, I know the challenges associated with such a tumultuous time. So if you are moving from or to an area outside the Northern Virginia area, take the guesswork out of finding an agent! You want an agent with a proven track record, right? I can ensure you are assigned a trained, experienced and qualified agent in your home area if you're selling before moving here or in your new home area if you're moving somewhere else from here. DON'T PLAY REALTOR ROULETTE AND RISK THOUSANDS AND HEARTACHE IN THE PROCESS! Call me or send me your contact information, and I'll help you find the right agent in our national and international network! FAMILY/COMMUNITY: My wonderful wife and I have four children ages 19, 17, 15, and 12 (boy, girl, boy, girl!), and she homeschools them all! We're also involved with our local church and volunteer a lot of time managing the childrens church and other vital areas of of the church. CORE VALUES - To ALWAYS: ♦ Live by the "Get by Giving" philosophy ♦ Make my client's #1 goal my #1 goal ♦ Live up to my standards, despite my temptations to lower them ♦ Be willing to work toward the common good ♦ Do what I say I will do, sometimes more, just never less I look forward to meeting you and helping you whether buying or selling in or out of the area.
