A Little About Me......and the Tools I use to serve you! My family moved to Charleston in 1961. My love for the Low Country started at the young age of 9. For the past 48 years my knowledge and love for the Low Country has continued to grow. Here is were I met my beautiful wife. We have been married for 36 glorious years and counting. Our two children have made us the proud grandparents 5 times over. In addition to the joy, love, and enjoyment I receive from my family, I enjoy hunting, fishing, and golf. Here in the Walterboro area I have had the honor to work with youth as a volunteer coach for the Walterboro Soccer Club. I worked in the Automobile Business here in the Low Country for 23 years. I started in the service department before moving into the sales end of the business. Becoming one of the top sales producers, took my career into the management level, were I continued to advance over the next 11 years. My experience in providing first class service, by placing my customers' needs first, earned me the respect and trust of my customers. Some of my responsibilities as manager were: Training, Marketing, Inventory Control, and Customer Satisfaction. All of these responsibilities lend to my success as a Realtor. My wife and I own two Self Storage Facilities in the Low Country, which my wife over sees the daily operations of. We purchased our first facility on James Island, James Island Storage, in 1990. We built our second facility in Ravenel, S.C., Ravenel Self Storage, in 1996. The Self Storage Business is also a customer based business which adds to my personal experience with working and communicating with the public.

| Buyers As a buyer you can go out on your own and represent yourself, contact all of the different listing agents or For Sale by Owners of properties you find, There is nothing wrong with that thought other than, listing agents by law are representing the seller and looking out for the sellers interest. What is Agency? It takes time and money to search for properties for sale. A person selling their own property may not be forthcoming with all of the facts about their home nor have the proper paperwork to complete a legal transaction. You need someone working for YOU! Looking out for YOU! Finding the right Property for YOU! At the right price for You! That is were I can help as your "Buyers Agent"! You need someone on your side that is familiar with all of the paper work and will research the property and advise you on its' value. After doing a Current Market Analysis on the property I will assist you in establishing an offer to purchase. I will prepare all necessary documents and submit them on your behalf. I will provide you with a list of real estate related professionals like, attorneys, mortgage companies, home inspectors, appraisers, surveyors, and exterminators. These are professionals who can insure that you are protected. I will oversee and review their findings and analyze their opinions. I will be with you all of the way to closing and be at your side at the closing table. Working together we will insure that you have made a well informed, money saving, and protected purchase decision. And I don't expect you to pay for any of the professional services I am going to provide you! |
