How do you distinguish yourself from the crowd of agents?
I have been licensed and selling real estate in metro Atlanta for over a decade, but real estate has been part of my life for much longer. My dad was a builder when I was growing up, so I was surrounded by all things real estate at a very young age. I was originally licensed in 2004 and began my career working in the family business, which gave me first-hand knowledge not only in buying and selling homes but also in development and the building process. That experience has given me a well-rounded understanding of the real estate industry as a whole and allows me to bring a different level of knowledge and perspective to my clients.
