For eight years he worked as a budget and financial analyst for large firms and brings this financial expertise to real estate. He received his Brokers' license in 1975 and was a top producing agent for both Mason McDuffie and Templeton Company. In 1987 he opened his own company with a staff of agents and today enjoys working as an independent broker.

Working with you has been a pleasure from the beginning to the end of this purchase. Your promptness, attention to detail, and focus made the transaction successful, but your thoughtfulness and consideration made it a true pleasure. For something that is so inherently stressful, you really made things as smooth as anyone could ask. Many thanks for all your help.
All the best, Daniel

Thank you so much for your unfailing good humor; for your X-ray vision that saw exactly what must be done;for the team of stagers, gardeners, painters and so forth who, each of whom is an artist and a craftsman. Thank you also for your knowledge of what motivates people to buy, your fairness and kindness in dealing with a couple who are separating, your love of the neighborhood, and for just being you. You did an amazing job. Even though I am 1200 miles away, I never felt out-of-the-loop. And then, we broke the neighborhood sales record. Like I said you are amazing.
Best regards, Cynthia

Dear John,
Thanks isn't enough! I started out a nervous wreck, but you made the whole experience seem easy. You worked very hard and it paid off very handsomely. Thank you for helping me keep my sanity.
Fondly, John & Anne Lewis

Dear John,
How do I begin to thank you? You've been patient, full of helpful suggestions, constantly educating me, kind, intelligent, fair, fun, diligent, insightful, and above all, professional. You turned a somewhat terrifying and confusing stage in my life into one that was fun and mostly free from angst. I have never heard of anyone who has had such a good experience with their Realtor and I consider myself lucky and fortunate. My dream has been realized and I have you to thank.
