How did you get your start in real estate?
I started in real estate because I saw a massive gap between what clients truly need and what most brokers deliver. Early in my career, while working in investment and development, I realized that real estate wasn’t just about properties — it was about people, timing, and vision.
I became a broker to offer a more strategic, client-focused experience — one that goes beyond closing deals and focuses on building long-term value. My background in investment gave me the tools, but it was the relationships and the impact that made me stay.
What do you wish more people knew about working in real estate?
That it’s not about selling. It’s about solving problems, guiding life decisions, and being relentlessly disciplined. It’s emotional labor — and you need to master your mindset daily.
What’s something you know now that you wish you knew when you started?
That systems and branding are everything. Your reputation travels faster than you do — build it with intention.
What’s your top tip for freshly licensed brokers?
Don’t chase the sale. Chase the relationship. Be consistent, document your process and invest in your brand early.
