I began my real estate career in 1985, received my real estate salesperson's license in 1987, and my Broker's license in 1997. I also held an appraiser's license for 10 yrs. I’ve sold everything from cheap vacant lots to multi-million dollar estates. I have always maintained a perfect DRE record, I've never had any Complaints, and I've never been sued.
I have 20 years of full time REO sales experience, approx. 200 personal sales, and I directly assisted in selling thousands more while working for two of Los Angeles' most successful REO brokers. Many of those transactions were complex and required a ton of extra time and attention…laborious but also providing me with extensive experience far beyond what the typical agent experiences in their career. As such, I don’t shy away from hard work. In fact, I love a challenge so if you need an agent to help you with problem tenants, title issues, property issues or other difficult selling situations, you’ve come to the right person. (I'll take the easy sales too!) I love my job and enjoy working hard, and smart, to help my REO clients achieve their real estate goals. If you’re looking for an experienced Realtor to represent your best interests then call me and put my 30 years of Experience, Integrity and Transparency to work for you.
