Description of Services: I have a passion for real estate and helping others. My goal is to fully understand the unique needs of my clients and to provide the absolute highest level of service. That means I work directly for you through the entire home buying/selling process and I don't pass you off to another agent.
Over the years I've developed an extensive national network of trusted agents, lenders, investors, and syndication operators. Whether you are buying, selling, or investing in Hawaii or the mainland US I can connect you to the right people to achieve your goals.
My early career began as a financial advisor, later I joined the Navy which brought me to Hawaii. I fell in love with the islands when I reported to a Pearl Harbor-based Submarine in 2006 and never left. After 10 years of Active duty, I transitioned to the Reserves, where I was commissioned. I have an MBA from Hawaii Pacific University and a BS in Finance from Auburn University. I've been a licensed real estate agent in Hawaii since 2014 and a Broker since 2019, specializing in residential sales and property management. Outside of real estate, I'm a unit Commanding Officer in Navy Reserve (LCDR-Submarine LDO, 6285).
Experience: With 22+ yrs in the Navy (12 Active Duty), along with previous experience as a DoD civilian, I clearly understand the unique challenges of Military clients and how to best meet their needs.
I've been in Hawaii for 20+ yrs and a Real Estate Agent/Property Manager for 12+ yrs, selling over 60 homes.
I began investing in Real Estate in 2011, acquiring a portfolio of short-term rentals, single family homes, and small multi-family properties. Eventually my focus shifted more towards investing in commercial real estate (large apartment complexes, self-storage facilities, RV and Mobile Home parks, businesses) as a limited partner investor. Personally I have bought and sold numerous properties, while utilizing 1031 exchanges and other advanced tax planning/strategies. This experience has been invaluable to me as a Real Estate Broker, giving me an edge when evaluating properties and advising clients on planning considerations.
My Military experience and local expertise, coupled with my Finance background and investment experience, makes me uniquely qualified to represent military buyers and sellers.
