About
In 1982, during my second year in college, my parents who were both in Real Estate needed my help so I decided to obtain my Real Estate License -- little did I know that it would become a life-long career!! I quickly became successful and by the time I was 20 years old I purchased my first home.
In 1998 I took a five year hiatus to become a Financial Investment Banker for Citibank, N.A., managing vast portfolios for affluent clients in South and Central America.
Then, in 2002 I opened my own Real Estate company and merged with RE/MAX Advance Realty in 2007. I have never looked back!! It was one of the best decisions I ever made! Every year since joining RE/MAX I have achieved their prestigious "100% Club" award.
Aside from my successful and extensive experience as a Broker-Associate, I also have several designations and memberships related to real estate:
