Welcome to my Website

With my 20 years of real estate sales comes solid real estate marketing and sales experience that can save my clients time, money and frustration. I welcome the opportunity to explain the many advantages to working with me and with Coldwell Banker Prime Properties, the leader in real estate sales in the Queensbury area.

Our emphasis on using technology to increase the market opportunities for our clients is unsurpassed, including a personal agent website, a property website for each listing, virtual tours and so much more. All of my properties boast plenty of high quality photos and in-depth descriptions proudly displayed on Coldwellbankerprime.com.

As a Certified Buyer Representative, I have repeatedly saved my buyer-clients time and money while helping them find the home that best fit their needs and their pocketbook. I point out not just the home's positive features, but also any negative features that may impact the home'ssuitability or market value now or in the future.

Specialties

Born and raised in Queensbury

I have resided in the town all of my life, except for 20 years of active duty in the U.S. Navy. I believe Queensbury to be a great place to live, work & play. Accordingly, although I service the entire greater Glens Falls area, I specialize in marketing the advantages of buying and selling in the Town of Queensbury with a special emphasis on Buyer Representation.

First-Time Home Buyers

I especially enjoy working with First-Time Home Buyers. Without first-time home buyers, current owners would almost never be able to sell and move up to a new home. First-time home buyers, with little knowledge or experience in the home buying process, have a greater need for a Buyer Representative to safeguard their best interests.

Buyer Representation Advantage

As a Certified Buyer Representative, I have received buyer representation training, above and beyond that taught in the initial Real Estate Salesperson Pre-Licensing or Real Estate Associate Broker courses. This can be a great, money-saving, advantage for my clients.

Professional Background

I graduated from Adirondack Community College with an AAS in Business Management and Accounting, which has helped me greatly in managing my real estate business and assisting my clients as they analyse their sale or purchase.

I served in the United States Navy for over 20 years, often buying a home and then re-selling 3-4 years later upon my transfer to the next duty station. I served mostly in administrative and personnel management capacities. This tremendous career provided me with much helpful knowledge and experience as it relates to buying, selling, negotiating and communicating.

I earned my certification as a Certified Buyer Representative and a Licensed Real Estate Associate Broker to better support and represent my real estate clients. I have also completed all continuing education requirements,yet still attend occasional presentations to stay abreast of changes in the market, new business practices and changes in real estate laws.

Personal Background

My 20 years in the United States Navy included a tour during which I was in the Vietnam Combat Zone and visited several Southeast Asia countries. After completing my first tour of duty, I finished my college degree.

I married my wonderful wife, Darlene, in 1971 and we have raised one fabulous son, Joseph, who now lives in the Tampa/St. Petersburg area of Florida. He is a self-taught, successful, Internet Marketer, with a young dog named Foxy Mama. Darlene and I live in Queensbury, attend First Baptist Church of Glens Falls and have lots of family and friends in the local area.

Community Involvement

Member First Baptist Church of Glens Falls

Volunteer in support of the "Open Door" food kitchen and "Community Action" food pantry.

Supervisor of Queensbury's Mens "Over 30" Basketball League.

Personal Interests

I am a sports enthusiast, whether it's playing golf, softball or basketball; pitching horseshoes or shooting pool, playing darts or watching baseball, basketball, football and ocassionally golf on TV. Although not a great athlete, I always play to win and love the spirit of competition. I also work part-time with the Queensbury Department of Parks & Recreation, assisting in the office during the busy Summer and supervising the men's "Over 30" basketball league year-around at Queensbury High School. We're always looking for a few more good men, so if you're a basketball fanatic and are "Over 30", contact the Queensbury Parks & Recreation Office at 761-8216 and I'll see you on the court!

My wife and I also love to travel and have visited Las Vegas, New Orleans, Palm Springs, Atlantic City, Myrtle Beach, Hilton Head, Cape Cod, the Bahamas and several resorts in Florida. We hope to visit our son during our next Florida vacation.
