A native of Fayetteville, North Carolina, Antonio grew up in Florida but spent every summer in Fayetteville. As the husband of a United States Air Force member (now retired) from 1993 until 2013, Antonio is very familiar with the process and stress related with uprooting and moving a family. In his nearly twenty years as the spouse of an active duty military member, he and his family moved 14 times, purchasing and selling numerous investment properties and primary residences along the way. Recognizing the opportunities available in real estate, Antonio became a licensed REALTOR® in 2006.
