I obtained my real estate license in 1982 and became a partner in a new real estate firm in 1989, RE/MAX Premier Realty. My wife and I became sole owners in 1991 and we sold that firm in July 2005 with 85 agents. In 1999, I started my commercial real estate career. I became interested in this highly specialized field after not only assisting several of my agents with their commercial deals but by negotiating 2 of my own office leases as a real estate company owner. I learned that I needed more skills and tools than what I had and started taking the CCIM courses. Through that process, I set a goal to acquire the CCIM designation which was completed in 2008. While my main area of specialization is office/industrial, because of my broker experience in being responsible for a variety of commercial transactions, and because much of my business came from the many agents I am connected with in Tucson, I have become a general practitioner. I may be selling a retail building in Central Tucson one week and showing medical office space in Oro Valley the next. In addition to my education, I am committed to having all of the tools available to support my business. Those tools and affiliations include
being a premier subscriber to loopnet, having all the modules of CoStar including property professional as well as comps, and being a member of our local MLS. My affiliation with CCIM has been a tremendous asset in that when I have a commercial need or want to promote a particular property, the CCIM mail bridge is just the tool to connect with the right network of agents. I find that my responsive attention to detail has served me well in handling a diversity of transactions including retail, office, industrial and hospitality (I sold two hotels in 2008).
