Why I'm in real estate: After giving lots of personal advice to friends while they were house hunting, I decided that perhaps real estate might be a career for me. Meeting new people from all over the country and the world has certainly broadened my horizons and given me a greater understanding of customs and cultures. Buying and selling a home can be happy as well as stressful. Taking the extra time to educate my clients, I believe, is necessary for a successful real estate transaction..

My favorite real estate experience: I have had the great pleasure of having my son join me in my office as an associate broker.

What is your favorite technology device?: In the last 30 years, technology has made a hugh difference in the real estate industry, not only to the agent, but to the consumer. The Internet is amazing with many more wonderful additions to look forward to.
