About

I began my real estate career as a residential appraiser in 1998. It’s a numbers job and I was a numbers guy so it fit me like a glove. Over the years I began to realize I wasn’t just a number cruncher but that I enjoyed talking to people about their homes. I mean really talking. Their past experiences with houses and their future prospects always seemed to get me talking a bit more than the “Value” angle of my job did. 

A downturn in the market forced me to move on to a desk job in 2007 still doing real estate, but on the commercial side. In my spare time I went into business ventures rehabbing houses. This took me from the “numbers and hypotheticals” to actually taking houses apart and rebuilding them from the studs. The things I have seen and learned from doing this made me hyper aware of the job of the home inspector. More than a couple of times I thought to myself “I wish I would have known about that before I bought it”.
