I'm a broker/consultant specializing in real estate investment. Whether you're currently an experienced investor or just getting into the business, I can help with investment strategies, business planning, deal analysis, negotiating, financing, and property management issues. Regardless of whether the property is residential, commercial or bare land, large or small, I help you increase profitability through sound decision making and effective business management. I also work as part of your estate planning to team (estate attorney and tax pro) when you are planning to leave real estate to your heirs or when you are receiving real estate as part of an estate disposition.
