The things that set me apart are advanced degrees in Architecture, studying in Florence Italy. My love of travel. My service to the Realtor family as an elected Director on the local PWR, CAR & NAR boards. My peers respect my ability to represent them well. My service to my community with Rotary (past President of the Santa Ana club), and as Chairman of the Historic Resources Commission for 10 years in Santa Ana. I have always supported the neighborhood associations that serve North Santa Ana. My knowledge and passion for vintage properties that are unique compared with the typical OC housing stock. My clients move here from Irvine, Newport and Laguna. They are looking for something like I was looking for when I moved here. A quality, unique custom home on a large lot with trees taller than the houses. Most have roots in the midwest or east coast and this area reminds them of back home where no two homes look alike.My high touch customer service level is what my clients love. When you hire me to help you buy or sell you get my help, not someone on a "team". I love getting to know my clients and doing my very best for them. I promise to always be honest with you. After 26 years in Real Estate I have recommendations for pretty much any service you could need from Estate Sale help, to fixing up to moving & relocation. Most of the people I recommend have worked for my family at my home. My wife is a foodie and we are big fans of the amazing one-of-a-kind restaurants in and around Santa Ana. My kids went to the local schools which are very good- a California Distinguished school twice! My grandparents lived in Washington Square from 1956 to 1996 and I have lived in Floral Park since 1984.I offer a lot of expertise and experience and I love what I do for a living.
