My philosophy is simple: work hard, work smart, and enjoy what I do. I believe that client satisfaction is the key to success. I enjoy a solid reputation, both with brokers and clients. I’ve worked hard for that; I grew up with a big dose of my grandparents Texas farm work ethic, honesty, directness, sunrise to sunset, a hand shake.

I believe that a good agent is a good listener, a good communicator and a good problem solver. Loyalty, referrals, and repeat business mean a lot to me. It’s important to me that my clients truly understand the job we do for them. We are not ‘salespeople’, we are marketing agents. We represent and counsel clients in their purchase or sale of real estate.

Our job is threefold: representing a seller; the first step is marketing the property to maximize its exposure to potential buyers. Representing a buyer, the first step is to help the buyer assess his/her needs and then locate a home that best suits those needs, no matter the time involved. The second phase of the process is to negotiate the most favorable position for our client. The third phase and equally important is to manage the process thru to close. This requires constant and consistent communication with all entities involved in the transaction so that we reach a successful conclusion to the transaction and do so in a timely manner. It’s a process that I enjoy and look forward to.

San Antonio and the Hill country have been my home my entire adult life and real estate gives me the opportunity to share all its beauty and magic. I love to introduce newcomers to the warmth and hospitality that is San Antonio and the Hill Country.

I believe in communication, I believe that it is important to understand a clients goals and objectives in order to achieve a desired result. I strive to build my business on referrals and repeat business and that can only happen with satisfied buyers and sellers. I make every effort to go beyond a checklist to listen to your hopes and dreams, to look beyond the obvious. Together we will make things happen to get you HOME as quickly and smoothly as possible whether you are buying or selling.

I am an Accredited Buyers Representative (ABR) and (ALHR) Accredited Luxury Home Representative.

Ask most real estate agents about their business and all they tell you about is them, but it’s really about YOU. For 32 years I worked in zoos throughout the southern United States. I find that in many ways being a Realtor® is like a Curator. The work is heavily focused on finding information, trying to prevent problems and solving those that occasionally arise.

Licensed since 1999, I am a member of the National Association of Realtors, the Texas Association of Realtors, and the San Antonio Board of Realtors. Remember that every tissue is not a Kleenex® and every real estate agent is not a Realtor®. A realtor abides by a strict code of ethics and continuing education. But what really matters is that you work with an agent who takes the time to listen and focus on your goals.
