As a lifelong resident of the Boston area, I grew up in Medford and attended Malden Catholic. Upon graduating from high school, I attended Merrimack College in North Andover where I studied business administration. Upon leaving college, I took my skills and worked in the hospitality industry in management. I spent several years in the industry meeting many fine people that I remain friends with today.
In 1984 I turned my interest to real estate and began working as a Realtor with Century 21 Advance Realty in Medford. I loved the business and the fact that, much like the hospitality industry, I was able to meet many different people. This time, though, I had the opportunity to help them with purchasing and selling their homes. This process is the biggest financial decision most people will make in their lifetime.
After several years, I returned to the hospitality industry and continued working in real estate under my own license. I did this for many years as the two industries were very compatible with each other. Finally, I came back to focus on only real estate and now this is all I do full-time.
When I take on a client, my resolve is to make the process of buying or selling a home as least stressful for them as possible. I walk through the process and explain everything going on step by step. When a client is selling a home, I review the complete evaluation of the property and determine what should or should not be done to maximize the home's potential. Whether it is a small or large repair, I offer to help in arranging for the appropriate person to get the job done. All aspects from marketing, pricing, and following through on a transaction - my clients know I am on top of the situation at every step. There is no better feeling than when you are thanked for doing a great job!
This is a very rewarding career in so many ways - from helping first-time buyers to people moving on to a different home during their life. The business is always offering you the chance to make a difference in a person's life.Â
