As a licensed civil engineer in two states, registered environmental assessor, and licensed real estate broker, I provide unique services to buyers and sellers of properties with engineering or environmental issues.   So when buyers or sellers encounter engineering issues, such as drainage, site stability, entitlements, or environmental contamination, I can address the issues directly to add value to principals.  I help sellers in strategic negotiations regarding these issues, and I have helped buyers save hundreds of thousands of dollars on such deals.  For sellers, I position the property correctly, direct or arrange necessary upfront studies, market the property appropriately, and negotiate from a position of knowledge during the transaction.  For liability and other reasons, virtually all agents will have to step away and inform principals that engineering issues are not their area of expertise, and they will refer these issues to  other parties.  In certain specialty areas, I do the same.  But the unique value I add to principals is that I can foresee and problem-solve most of these issues, and get ahead of the issue, rather than have it hang up a transaction later. 

I also provide expert witness and real estate consulting services to clients, including expertise in environmental insurance and liability protections, so I understand the legal and technical side of the deal, in addition to the normal transaction issues.  My clients are wild in my praise, as indicated on my website.  Check it out for yourself.
