Expertise | Integrity l Results
My goal is to ensure my clients have the best possible experience whether buying or selling their home. I rely on my 35 years of experience as a real estate attorney in Southern California and several more years of residential sales experience here in Arizona to provide concierge level service to my clients.
I ensure your listing or offer is properly priced, correctly crafted, and expertly negotiated. When escrow is opened, I have the benefit of having closed hundreds of escrow transactions during my career. I can say with confidence there isn’t much I have not seen (and resolved) before in real estate purchase and sale transactions.
The real estate market is changing. The days of multiple offers above asking price are gone. Don’t trust your real estate transaction to an amateur or a discount broker. Go with the experience, knowledge, and skills I offer combined with the power of the HomeSmart name. Together we will ensure you receive outstanding personal service and your transaction closes on time and as expected.
Instead of the high-pressure, mass-marketing, high-volume real estate sales blueprint, I rely on my expertise, business acumen, communication skills, integrity, and attention to detail, to deliver premier service and results for my clients.
​
I will happily take the time to answer your calls and questions myself, and to ensure you know where your transaction stands at all times.

When I began working with buyers and sellers of residential real estate, I made the conscious decision I would not follow the traditional high pressure, high-volume blueprint taught to new agents. I decided that if the traditional high-pressure, high-volume blueprint is what it took to succeed in the business, I would find something else to do or retire.
Fortunately, I found another way to succeed. I found that at this stage of our lives we don't want to be "sold" anything. We simply want competent, timely, and expert guidance with outstanding results. Nothing more, nothing less.
Skip the hype and hustle of most real estate brokerages and agents and enter the world of expert personal service and leave the rest to me. You will see, there is a better way.
Corte Bella is not your parent’s Sun City. It is a meticulously maintained, gated and attended, golf course community with 1,650 upscale homes built in 2005-2006. Corte Bella has its own private amenities including lighted pickle ball and tennis courts, exercise facilities, Bocce Ball courts, pool, spa, and restaurant. There is also a championship 18-hole par 72 golf course which can be joined separately or played on a daily fee basis.
Homes in Corte Bella typically sell in the $450,000 to the low $1,100,000 range. The Corte Bella Home Owner's Association maintains the community grounds and facilities and ensures compliance with the architectural guidelines. Monthly HOA dues are low and the reserves are fully funded. There is an initial buy-in fee payable upon closing.
There is no additional fee for any amenity in Corte Bella except for spa services, personal training in the fitness center, and food and beverage at the restaurant. The community is built around a 2-mile circular walkway which in the winter is always active and a great place to meet your neighbors and socialize.
If you are looking for an active community with upscale homes and amenities, Corte Bella may be what you have been looking for.
The real estate sales industry is undergoing significant change. Technology is changing the search and marketing aspects of real estate sales. However, early attempts to move the entire process to an Internet based business model by the likes of Zillow, Open-Door, Offer Pad, Trulia, Realtor.com, and others, have proved unsuccessful. I am a believer in technology and use it to compliment what I do, not replace it.
Whether buying or selling, the real estate sales process is confusing and full of pitfalls. It’s like driving a car you are unfamiliar with, at night, in the pouring rain, on a narrow mountain road for the first time, while late for an appointment. No computer program or person in a call center on the other side of the World will help you. You need someone who has driven the road many times before and knows the quickest and safest route to your appointment. That is what I do. I have driven this road many times before and know the route cold. I’ll be there for you and we will get there safely and on time. Guaranteed.
Your biggest investment.
Any agent can sell your home or find you a new home. It takes a true professional to counsel you in the decisions to be made when buying or selling a home, to ensure that you are always up to date with the status of your transaction, and to answer your questions and concerns promptly. Will a discount agency or someone on the other end of the telephone give you that same confidence? Will they be at the closing when at the last moment an issue comes up and stops the transaction? I will and you can count on that.
