WHY DID I BECOME A REALTOR?

Shortly after buying my own home, I became a realtor.  I felt I should have been more informed about the home buying process and received more counseling from my Realtor.  I wished I had had a better understanding about the loan process and the different programs that were available.  That's when I decided to take action and become more knowledgeable in Real Estate and Mortgages and share that expertise with my clients.  I want my clients to get the best mortgage available for their situation and a home that fits their needs.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ME WHICH WILL HELP YOU IN THE HOME BUYING PROCESS.

I was a Purchasing Manager for a number of years for a Water Purification Manufacturing Company in Plymouth, Massachusetts.  From there, I became a Project Manager for a company that erected Steel Buildings.  Both my business experience and my Business Management degree enables me to utilize my background in my Real Estate Business.  Negotiations are second hand to me, but it helps the 1st time home buyer in getting their home for the best price or the experienced sellers, who can be assured that I am working in their best interest and negotiating on their behalf.
