In my over 26 years as a realtor in the area, I have produced $500M+ in sales volume and been involved in hundreds of transactions. My experience and the agent relationships that I have developed in the business are invaluable when it comes to getting a property bought or sold. Having moved my family to three different states, I understand the importance of finding the right location, negotiating the best price and terms and finally, a smooth move for everyone involved. I have lived in Newton since 1993 and my business has been built primarily through referrals from past clients — the highest compliment I can receive.
