What's Old is New Again

 After many years in the business and after starting the KW franchise in State College with several other investors, I decided to sell my share in the business and move on to another great sales organization.

After great success there, I've decided to return to real estate, the thing I enjoy above all else.  Nothing like helping people make critical, life-altering decisions.  Some say I'm pretty good at it.

Last year, I joined the fastest growing franchise in the country, Next Home Real Estate.  Great company with a great culture. Unfortunately, our broker woke up one morning, moved to Texas, and just like that, the business was gone.

So, I considered the large brokerages in town.  They are all good places to hang a real estate license, but in the end I joined a small, boutique brokerage that shared similar values and ethics both in life and in business.

We may be small in numbers, but with a mega-brand name and ethical people, I may not be at Next Home, but I am home.  Better Homes & Gardens Real Estate GSA realty is home to a group of highly dedicated, super-educated in real estate, business professionals with shared ethical values that allow you to know you are in the best hands in the business.

I've has a great 12 months despite changing offices, and I stand ready to help you with all your real estate needs.  The real estate market is changing rapidly, and I have a pulse on the market and will tell you the truth.

With values and ethics founded in truth, you may call us the NO BS Real Estate group.

Sometimes in life you just need to face your demons. As many of you know, I'm a runner and love to take off and run when I get the chance. Recently, I found myself in Pensacola, Florida and I was challenged to return to University of West Florida for a late afternoon run on a recent Saturday. Several years ago I stared into the late afternoon shadows of the same running path and took off for an easy run. I found myself in the forest just weeks after the destruction that Ivan wrought on the area (he was a hurricane). To make a long story very short, the woods were torn apart with shattered tree's but I pushed on until I was completely lost, straddling an oozing stream, just as darkness gripped the trail. Lost like I never imagined possible, I cut the run short and managed to shred my legs and arms on the flora and fauna as I struggled to find my way out of the damp gator-infested woodland. As a student many years before, I remember seeing many a ten foot alligator in this area.

I finally made it out of the swamp and cut the run short but it left a bad taste in my mouth. So, there I was heading back to the swamp and much to my suprise I was greeted by the sign that you can read above. Now I was faced with a decision. Push on through the fear and ignore the sign or just turn around and find the running track to circle like a frustrated hamster.

I did push past the fear and had a great run, gators and poisonous snakes not withstanding. It just proves that you can return and face your demons.
