I treat every client like a friend — because that's what you become.

I didn't get into real estate to chase commissions. I got into it because I love helping people find the right place to call home. With 15+ years across brokerage, development, and construction — plus a non-practicing general contractor's license — I bring experience most agents don't have — and I explain it all in plain English.

I've lived in Summit since 2015, raised my family here, and built a career rooted in these communities. That background means I can spot what most agents miss — from foundation issues to renovation potential that adds real value. Backed by Prominent Properties Sotheby's International Realty, Summit's #1 brokerage in both transactions and sales volume, I combine local insight with global reach to get you the best possible result.

Tailored Service for Private Clients

From athletes and entertainers to sellers who simply prefer discretion — my private client services are built around confidentiality and results. For homes above $3.5 million, I often recommend a private sale strategy. Think of it like a Birkin bag — the most desirable luxury properties aren't sitting on a shelf for everyone to see. By keeping a home off-market, we create exclusivity that drives demand. Qualified buyers pay a premium for what they can't easily find. Whether you're a public figure or a homeowner who values privacy, this approach delivers both discretion and top dollar.

Total Discretion
Your privacy is non-negotiable. Off-market listings, private showings, and confidential transactions are standard — not extras.
Anonymous Purchases
Prefer the seller doesn't know who's buying? I'll guide you through an LLC purchase so your identity stays completely private. No one has to know you're the buyer — from offer to closing.
The Exclusivity Premium
The best luxury buyers want what nobody else can have. By keeping your $3.5M+ home off-market, we create scarcity that drives premium offers — no open houses, no public listings, just serious buyers competing for access.

Most agents can tell you about a home's finishes. I can tell you about its bones. With a non-practicing general contractor's license and 15+ years in real estate development, I provide a level of property insight that no other agent in this market can match.
