In my childhood I grew up in a family that was always involved in real estate - either building, buying, selling or renting. So, after my 3rd year of college, I came home and had a heart to heart with my mother who is/was a realtor and decided it was "in my blood". I became licensed and went to work for the same broker as my mom, but I couldn't become her partner until I had paid my dues. After a couple years in the business, we became a team, and still work together.
I am now married to a wonderful woman, we have a German Shorthair dog, and we live in the western suburbs of Minneapolis. Life is good!
I continue my education in real estate classes to enhance my knowledge in the areas of technology, new laws that pertain to the business and the housing market in general.
I have my CDPE certificate, which gives me the ability to assist sellers getting through the process of a short sale. Short sale means they owe more on their home than the market will bear. CDPE means Certified Distressed Property Expert.
I'm also active in the community and City Council committies.
I have always enjoyed being active. In grade school, high school and college I played sports - hockey, baseball, football, rugby - anything that involved a puck or a ball. Today, I still play softball and hockey. I believe in organized team sports with good supervision; because it helps teach people how to be a team player, be responsible, stand up for what's right and definitely builds character.
Real Estate allows me to use all the things I was taught by my parents and other people personally involved in my life, and all the things I have learned by participating on the playing field.
Today I keep in mind on every transaction that my client (buyer or seller) is part of my team, and we work together for the good.
