Thank you for visiting my website!

With 40 years sales experience, I have learned that each sale is its own unique experience; Each client has different needs and expectations. My strong people skills give me the ability to recognize those needs and work to satisfy them. I am able to work within diverse situations and bring the transaction to a successfull close. Regardless if you are selling or buying, I am focused on results. I am a skilled negotiator and look forward to using that skill to get you the very best deal I can. I am fortunate to enjoy an excellent reputation of delivering exceptional customer service. Over my 40 year sales career, I have earned many sales achievment awards, based, in part, on my exceptional customer service. I work with both Buyers & Sellers.

"Putting people and thier dreams together - it's what I do."

In my 40 year sales career I have always exceeded my customers expectations. Let me be your Realtor - I will exceed your expectations.

I was born, raised and educated in Berkeley. In 1970 I moved to Central Contra Costa county first residing in Walnut Creek then Concord.

Additionally, I lived 9 years in Connecticut and 5 years at North Lake Tahoe. 

While my primary residential locations have been the East Bay area, I have been fortunate to have visited Lake Tahoe annually since 1951 and have enjoyed a lifelong love affair with "The Lake." Thinking that living there would be heaven, I quickly found out that winter lasts a long time in the mountains - so now my summers are spent at "The Lake" while the rest of the year I am a Pleasant Hill resident. 

I know both areas well and stand ready to help you with your real estate experience, no matter if you are buying or selling.

I've been married to Linda for over 25 years. Together we have 3 grown children and one teen aged grandson. All of our family live other places, so we are free to live exactly where we want to be. For fun we have a restored 67 Mustang convertible that we show and travel the country with.   

It would be my plaesure to help you find "the home of your dreams" .  

BUYING?
First time buyer, move up buyer, or an "empty nester" looking for your retirement home? I can help you through the process and make the experience a pleasant one.

SELLING?
My marketing and sales promotion skills will help us get you a quick sale, at the best possible price for your property. I utilize printed media, point of sale material and internet exposure to effect a quick, smooth sale of your property.

RELOCATING?
I have experienced relocation twice and I understand the challenges that kind of a move can create. I can walk you through the process and help you coordinate between the sale of your old home, the close of your new home and in getting that moving van here on time.

Let me help you find your dream home.

"Putting people and their dreams together - it's what I do."
