For all of your real estate needs

OVER 43 YEARS IN THE BUSINESS - COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL

On a whim, I decided to become a real estate agent for just a little while. It seemed like a good place to hang out until I could decide what to do when I grew up. I NEVER GREW UP! I am still going and at a faster speed every day.

After the military and college, I had an education degree and no job. I then landed one of the best experiences of my life. I worked as an urban renewal director, saving a community that had been slated for demolition. I worked closely with the then Mayor Schaeffer and the Housing commissioner Bob Embry and the wonderful citizens. When Bob was drafted by Pres Carter he took Ridgleys Delight on the road as an example of the first neighborhood in the U.S. that became revitalized in large part because of the sale of City owned "Dollar Houses." It was a mostly vacant boarded up neighborhood with a wonderful blend of determined long term neighbors and eager new folks. The Mayor told me that if I could sell that neighborhood for a dollar, I could sell anything. The rest is history. A wonderful life evolved as my passion continues.

I believe a successful realtor should maintain a variety of property sales, and a variety of buyers anId sellers. It provides a daily education. My favorite type of transaction would be selling and listing Historic Properties. I become most excited when these properties are in "up and coming" communities. Baltimore has progressed beyond my dreams during the past 40 years. I am so pleased to have been a part of it. I love to point out the many properties I sold that were once in danger of demolition. As the perpetual pioneer I have also successfully restored many of my own.

Today "up and coming" is also in Balto County, particularly along the Bay, where I grew up. People are just learning you don't need to cross a bridge to buy on the Bay. FUN!

I Love It!

As technology continues to challenge me, I still believe it will never replace the human element. That's what I provide to my clients and friends.
