TOP 15% ALL AGENTS NATIONALLY - 2 YEARS RUNNING!

I spent the first 30 years of my working life in the hospitality industry with the last 10 of those years as Director of U. S Operations for the Elephant & Castle Group. My interests in Real Estate started with the purchase of an investment property in 2004 and another in 2005. Prior to purchasing those homes, my wife and I took Real Estate investment classes at a local Real Estate school. In 2006 I made a career change and became a Realtor. I have been a full time Realtor since then, and never looked back. I have lived in the twin cities since 1963 and have resided in Minnetonka, St. Paul and Roseville. I currently live in a town home and have served on our association board of directors for over 20 years. I have been a "jogger" most of my life and started running more in 2007. I ran my first Twin Cities Marathon in 2008. I continue to run 5K's, 10K's, Half Marathon's and Marathons. The Half Marathon is my favorite. My wife and I enjoy traveling, scuba diving and dancing. I also enjoy camping with our kid's and grand kids. (Yes, I still sleep in a tent on the ground - ok with an air mattress or roll out.)

Ok, enough about my personal life. I enjoy getting to know people and helping them transition from one home to another. I take the time to listen and understand what your needs and goals are. Whether you are purchasing your first home or moving from the lifelong family home, I am there to help. I take pride in sharing your journey with you and have a number of team members ready to help you. Financing - Nick Fairbanks with Guaranteed Rate Affinity Mortgage (short term bridge loans or long-term financing), Beth Schuette with Burnet Title, local and out of state moving companies. If you need staging, flooring, painters, plumbers, electricians small and large contractors - I have the resources.

I am here to answer questions you may have and help wherever possible, even if you are not ready to make a move yet. I would love to hear from you.
