Interests

I am a full time realtor and Arizona native who has lived in McCormick Ranch since 1997. I have volunteered at Scottsdale Healthcare on Osborn on Tuesday evenings since 2003.

I love McCormick Ranch! I love all the grassy parks and green paths throughout the neighborhoods, the excellent schools, the lakes, the golf courses, the holiday lights on McCormick Parkway, the location which is not too far from downtown Phoenix and the Symphony, the Suns and the Diamondbacks, and I even love the traffic because it’s easy to scoot around this part of Scottsdale. McCormick Ranch borders the resorts along Scottsdale Road so McCormick Ranch definitely has a resort feel to it.

I sell all types of homes throughout the entire Valley representing both home buyers and home sellers. I focus on Scottsdale, Phoenix and the East Valley.

I also love internet marketing. I founded the oldest and largest email newsletter about Arizona real estate, Home Sale News, which started in 2001 and now has over 16,000 subscribers. Building on my economics background, in 2006 I created a blog about the Arizona real estate market called Arizona Real Estate Notebook.

One of my favorite things is when I get a call from a reader, so don’t be shy!
