My Backgroud:

  I started in Real Estate when I was about 5 years old.  My father was always buying and selling property and houses.  He involved myself and my two brothers in the process.  My father's mantra was 'buy bricks'- meaning real estate is a great way to invest your money.  I never really listened until he passed away when I was 23.  His words and his passing were a reality check.  I finally started taking his advice.  I bought my first house after college and never looked back.  It was a "fixer upper" and I spent the next 2 years making it look great.  I sold it and made 75K and thought this is the only job I'll ever want.  So started my passion for trying to make money while buying and selling real estate. 

  In 1999, I completed my first commercial build, a small retail center in Prescott Valley.  I continued with buying apartments later in 2002 in downtown Prescott.  During the boom, I built a couple speculation houses and apartments, bought and sold raw land and decided maybe it was time to get my real estate license.   In 2004, I  made the plunge and got my license and have been with Keller Williams since it's inception in Prescott.  For the last seven years I've made my living in the Prescott Real Estate market.  In July of 2011, I joined the Linda De Fusco Team and expect  2012 to be my best year yet.  I have lived here my whole life and continue to make the tri-city area my home.  If you are looking for someone who is knowledgable about the area- I have 37 years experience.
