My Answer: the government wanted to get their hands on the money I had made in the entertainment industry.  So I started investing into Real Estate, big-time.  In the 80's I bought property all over Los Angles and surroung areas, the West Coast and Pacific Northwest.  I started "flipping" these properties for profit 2 decades before that term became a household word.  So much so, in the mid 80's the DRE demanded I become a licensed Agent.   How many real estate agents can say they have bought and sold more than 40 homes that THEY HAVE PERSONALLY OWNED?    Me, Me....I can!  

Unlike other Agents, I've mastered the role of THE BUYER & THE SELLER.  I've played the role of Buyer, Seller and Agent so many times I've become a solid mass of scar tissue.  Riding out 2 decades of ups and downs in this awesome industry.  This should make a big difference to you and any Agent that comes up against me in a comparison test.  Odds are I'm the only agent you'll ever know whose "performed" on both sides of the Real Estate table. Did you know that only 42% of real estate agents own their own home? 12% of them own investment/second homes.  Only 1 % of Agents own their primary residence, multiple rental properties, commerical property and have 20 years of resale experience.  My skills will benefit someone years after any transaction gets closed.    

NOW. . . As you can see on the right--  I've morphed into a fat, middle-aged, yet very approachable, well-seasoned real estate consumer.  I'm getting Top billing as a Veteren Realtor these days, who will get a standing ovation from you, when you choose me to represent you, your friends or family members.  I'll even sing "I FEEL GOOD" and perform at closing at the title company.  The Title Company loves to see me do the HAPPY DANCE when we close each transaction.
