About Me
Simply put, I love homes. All kinds of homes. Condos, townhouses, houses, custom or prefab… you name it. I find the process of searching for a living space that suits someone’s needs and tastes fascinating.
One of the most interesting aspects for me is the process of understanding what one likes and dislikes. I find great enjoyment when I can help somebody think through their own likes and dislikes and when we eventually find a place that they can call home.
Working
I am currently licensed in Virginia and Washington, DC. I am affiliated with American Realty Group, a 20+ year old firm located in Arlington, VA. In the past I have been affiliated with Long & Foster and RE/MAX Allegiance, two of the largest companies in the country. For me, the positive environment of a small, yet established firm suited my personality better.
In addition to my love and knowledge of the local metro Washington real estate, I have been involved with international real estate in various ways, from being a board member on the local council of the International Real Estate Federation, to spending 4 months managing a real estate franchise in Europe.
Prior to entering the real estate profession, I worked for years as a marketing consultant.
Living
I currently live in McLean. I have also lived in D.C.’s Connecticut Heights neighborhood, Arlington’s Rosslyn neighborhood, and in the City of Falls Church where I still own property. In the past I have also owned properties in Falls Church and Orlando, FL.
Playing
I enjoy playing tennis and also practicing Yoga and Kung Fu when time permits. I am also a certified Yoga instructor.
Education
I earned a B.A. in Management from Webster University’s London, UK campus and a M.A. from Georgetown University, where I concentrated on Business Ethics.
In closing
I hope this page gives you a glimpse into my background and personality. I believe that one of the most important things in a Realtor/Client relationship is chemistry. If either of us doesn’t feel comfortable with each other by our second meeting, then it is better to end the relationship there. A real estate transaction should be fun, without stress or pressure. If you agree, feel free to give me a call for an informal chat (703.356.8436).
Like most people, I am completely turned off by a “hard sell”. Therefore, you may consider this page my sales pitch
