South Carolina

I am a Charleston native and a graduate of the College of Charleston.  I have REALTOR Emeritus status and was president of the Charleston Trident Association of Realtors® in 1986. I have also served as a Senior Instructor for the South Carolina Realtors® and was the recipient of the SCR Educator of the Year 2004. Teaching is an integral part of my life as I am an instructor in real estate licensing school. In addition, I write and teach mandatory continuing education classes for real estate licensees.

Since 1973, I have dedicated myself to helping consumers. In addition, our highly regarded, nationwide mortgage banking company provides me with the resources to help you find the right home loan. Our objective is to ensure the process is as smooth and stress-free as possible in an otherwise rigid regulatory environment.

Using a consultative approach to mortgage lending, we are dedicated to working with you to determine the best home loan option that fits your needs. Our service pledge to you is that we will never take your business for granted.
