KEEPING THE AMERICAN DREAM ALIVE

The American Dream of owning one's own home is as essential as the Statue of Liberty. While the recent subprime meltdownand financial crisis has been discouraging, one thing is for sure: We will survive!

Real estate remains the safe shelter in the storm. I have been actively selling commercial and residential investment property since 1985. The lessons garnered from surviving at least 3 real estate cycles has taught me the value of "Responding to opportunities, not Reacting to Fear".

In today's uncertain economy, real estate has become more than physical shelter. Sheltering investments for a successful future is paramount in estate and tax planning. If we decide to work together as a team you may be assured I will commit 100% of my efforts and knowledge  to assisting my clients in making the right real estate decision.

I have purchased and sold my own properties since 1975 and have learned the value of "Responding to opportunities and not Reacting" the hard way. Yes, I have learned some painful lessons in my own real estate investments.  One of these is: "Real estate is a long term investment" and pay attention to future trends.Who would have thought the Seattle condo market would go from $100 psf to almost $500 psf in a few years? Lesson learned.

What does this mean to you? One thing: I commit to using all of my experiences and resources in my real estate career and my prior experience working for a real estate and tax attorney and an escrow company  to provide you with sound real estate advice.

Noone can accurately predict the market 100% of the time. However, I do know this: Real Estate remains a tangible physical asset, whether your home or your investment, which can be a "shelter in the storm".

If you are seeking an experienced real estate professional, who has developed the ability to foresee problems and opportunities and who has experience representing sellers in Chapter 11, and a career including financing and consulting for a commercial real estate appraiser, feel free to give me a call.  How may I serve you?
