I am a Full time Professional Realtor working with sellers, buyers and investors here in the South East Valley of the Phoenix Metro area to take advantage of the current market. I have earned my Masters of Real Estate Society, GRI, ABR, CIPS and ePro designations to continue to stay sharp and serve my clients well. I am currently working towards my CCIM, Commercial Real Estate’s Gold Standard for Professional Achievement. I also am an active investor in residential crowdfunding projects here in AZ, PhixnPhlip.com. I work tirelessly to find the ideal solutions for my clients’ real estate needs.
Established in 1998
I have purchased, sold, lent on and been a Realtor on many types of transactions and properties since 1998. My experience allows me to assist with finding, buying, financing, repairing, and/or selling property of different kinds. I have participated in over $250 million in real estate transactions as the buyer or the direct lender through my ownership and participation in various partnerships. These partnerships have purchased and sold well in excess of 2500 homes in the Phoenix Metro area since 1998.
I have worked in every aspect of the residential real estate process from research, acquisitions, repairs, maintenance, negotiation and marketing for sale, to property management. On the lending side I have participated in raising private capital, working with commercial banks to secure additional capital, loan origination, underwriting, foreclosing, to playing the asset manager and liquidation role as the markets changed. I have bought property directly from foreclosure auctions, private auctions, banks REO’s, private individuals, other investors, and in our most recent recession Short Sales. I have been involved in the takeover of a property acquisition, repair and resale company: taking it from losing over $250,000 to profitability, the start-up and expansion of a 6 state property wholesaler and hard money lender, and acquisition and refurbishing of a condominium project ($34 million). My daily business however is using my experience to assist and guide my clients through finding, buying, financing, repairing, and/or selling the property they desire. I am very active in our local Realtor Association, SEVRAR; graduating from the leadership program in 2012, co-chair of the Community Outreach Committee in 2014, sat on the Building Task force 2015, esteemed with the Realtor of the Year award in 2015 and on the Board of Directors for 2014 – 2018. I was the inaugural co-chair and 2014 chair of the YPN Networking group, helping to establish this group and our successful events. I am also honored to be an AAR Director & NAR Director for 2015-2019. I currently serve on the AAR Business services and technology committee as well as the 2019 RAPA trustee committee Co-Chair. At the national level I serve on the Consumer Communications Committee.
My Goals
I am an active volunteer in our local communities supporting both with my time and financially the Care Fund, SEVRAR Critical Needs Fund, RAPAC, ASAnow.org, House of Refuge, and other local organizations. During the Holiday season I take part in ringing the bells for Realtor Wednesdays with the Salvation Army. My schedule allows me to volunteer monthly in my son’s classroom and other school activities. In addition, my family currently fosters cats with Saving One Life rescue.
I grew up in the Dobson Ranch area of Mesa, AZ and went to college in St. Petersburg, FL. After college I moved back to Arizona to pursue business ownership and development with my knowledge gained while getting my BA in Business Management and participating in Eckerd College Search & Rescue (a leadership development program disguised as a maritime search and rescue program, the only one of its kind in the country). I know Phoenix and especially the east valley cities of Mesa, Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert, Queen Creek and Scottsdale like the back of my hand. Currently I reside in Gilbert, AZ near my parents and sister’s family. I started participating in triathlons late 2005, and completed the Arizona Ironman in 2007, when I am determined to do something, it gets done! I have not been competing since roughly 2012, instead I took up walking, hiking and training my border collie. I like traveling with my son and girlfriend to experience other cultures as much as possible and see new places. I also enjoy scuba, poker, hiking, projects around the home, gardening and spending time with our families and friends.
I look forward to the opportunity to establish a great relationship!
I'm Here for You 24/7
