About Me
I bring a background of leadership, operational experience, and disciplined execution to every real estate transaction. After a 20+ year military career and earning an MBA in project management, I approach real estate with precision, accountability, and a deep respect for the trust my clients place in me. I understand that a home is often a family’s largest financial asset, and I manage each transaction with care, strategy, and clear communication. I specialize in residential real estate, including move-up homes, investment properties, and sellers who want a structured, data-driven approach, including those whose homes did not sell previously. My focus is not simply listing homes, but positioning them correctly to achieve the best possible outcome. USMC Veteran | Serving Tampa Bay

Who are Orchard’s real estate agents?
Orchard employs experienced, licensed real estate agents who will help you navigate the process of selling and buying a home. You'll first be matched with a local agent who specializes in buying homes in your area. Your agent will help you find the right home for you, make a strong offer, and lead negotiations on its sale and closing. This same agent will also help to sell your home for top dollar. They will manage your home showings, advise you on offers, and provide guidance throughout the selling process.
How does working with an Orchard agent compare to working with a traditional brokerage?
Like in a traditional home sale, your agent is committed to listing and marketing your home to find you a buyer and get you market price. Your agent is aligned with you to sell your home for the highest amount possible (the more your home sells for, the higher their commission). But unlike a traditional agent brokerage, Orchard helps you buy a new home before you list your current one and provides you with a guaranteed cash offer. This also means you avoid home showings and open houses.
