Fast forward, I’ve been blessed with the opportunity of living and working on the West Coast where I’ve built an expansive portfolio mentoring alongside some of the most successful and well-known real estate entrepreneurs in the world. I’ve worked in real estate brokerage management, social media marketing, homebuilding and development, investments and asset management, and growing my own businesses. A diverse pathway of real estate experience has helped me understand the multifaceted world of real estate and helped me create a reputation for bringing value to my clients through relationships, strategic acquisition, cutting-edge marketing, and expert negotiation. My craft in this trade is the result of an ever growing passion and now as a Partner in The Operative Group, I am happy to share my expertise with our clients.
