Meet the Team

Today, teams are very popular among real estate agents.  I have been very, very careful about putting together a team that will truly meet the needs of my clients, but not take me away from the very important client-relationship that I have put a lot of effort into developing and whom my clients have placed a lot of trust in me. 

As a busy full time real estate agent, obviously you can't be and do all things, however, I very strongly refuse to turn my clients over to "assistants" when it is me that they have built a relationship with and learned to trust and relate to.  I prefer and enjoy maintaining my relationship with my clients before, during and after the transaction.

However, there are some things that other people are better qualified and experienced to handle.  It is these people, entities or companies that I entrust my clients with, as well as people who can handle the myriad other more mundane tasks that go along with marketing properties and closing transactions.  

These are my team members.  Keep in mind, it takes many people to manage and process a smooth and stress free transaction.  My team members include Coldwell Banker Office Staff, Loan Brokers, Escrow Officers, Title Insurance Officers as well as other affiliates and at times, a partnering fellow agent:
