My Philosophy There are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent Real Estate Professional: •    integrity  •    in-depth community and market knowledge •    marketing savvy •    effective negotiation skills  •    a high-quality professional network    All of which are cornerstones that I have built my business on.   That said, in my experience as a Charleston Real Estate Professional, I've also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting my clients first. This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs.  This "client first" philosophy has always been my approach and it requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. In addition, I've found that the latest technologies are enabling me to do everything I've always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. They've also helped me to extend the range of services I provide to my clients.   Here’s a little information that you may or may not know about me,    I...   •    graduated from The University of South Carolina in 1991 •    obtained a SC Real Estate license in 1992 •    worked in the banking industry from 1991- 1995 •    began working in Real Estate full time in 1996 •    am a second generation REALTOR •    married and have seven grown children (24, 26, 26, 28, 28, 31 and 33!), a Cane Corso and two cats •    attend Crosstowne Church •    am a HUGE fan of Soccer, Motocross and Supercross •    enjoy riding Harley Davidson motorcycles and participate in many charity rides throughout the year •    am very involved both privately and professionally with Investment Property and Property Management •    have been heavily involved with BPO, property preservation services, Relocation Companies and REO properties since 2003, working with many banks, lenders and servicers •    am a member of the CTAR Property Management Group •    have been awarded the REALTOR of Distinction award 16+ times. •    have been a Director on the MLS Board for the Charleston Trident Association of REALTORs since 2006 •    was the Vice President of the MLS BOD in ‘10, President in ‘11& Immediate Past President in ‘12 •    Co-chair of the Grievance Committee for Charleston Trident Association of REALTORs since 2012 •    Chairman of the Grievance Committee for Charleston Trident Association of REALTORs for 2015 •    am on the Professional Standards board since 2017 •    have the ABR, CRS, BPOR, and e-PRO designations as well as certifications from RES.NET and Equator
