Across Monmouth and Ocean Counties, I’ve helped clients navigate nearly every scenario — selling long-time family homes and estates, purchasing investment properties, evaluating land, downsizing, relocating, and buying for the first time.

No matter the price point or property type, I tailor my approach to your needs, provide honest insight, and help you make decisions with clarity.
Strategy, Marketing & Negotiation
Every listing and purchase deserves a clear strategy. Here’s what that looks like when we work together:
Comprehensive Marketing Plans
I personally create customized marketing plans for every property. This includes:
- Professional multi-media presentation

Strategic MLS positioning

Open houses and targeted local exposure
-
Coordinating with attorneys, mortgage consultants, inspectors, and all involved professionals

Managing contractual, legal, and logistical details efficiently

My negotiations are steady, factual, and client-focused. I advocate firmly but respectfully, grounding each decision in truth, market data and long-term value. Whether you’re comparing offers, negotiating repairs, or planning a buy-out or investment strategy, you’ll always know the “why” behind every recommendation.
Dedicated Service & Community Commitment
My work as a New Jersey Realtor focuses in the communities of Monmouth and Ocean County. Two areas of involvement matter deeply to me:
Homes for Heroes — meaningful Savings for Those Who Serve
As a Homes for Heroes affiliate, I’m proud to help qualified “heroes” save an average of $4,000 – $6,000 when buying or selling a home.
Who qualifies for hero savings:

Monmouth County Collaborative Divorce Professionals (MCDP)
As a committed member of Monmouth County Collaborative Divorce Professionals, I work closely with attorneys, mediators, mental health professionals, and financial neutrals to support families during transitional periods.
Real estate decisions during a divorce, including selling the marital home, structuring a buy-out, or evaluating whether one party can remain, have major legal and financial implications.
My role is to provide:
- Clear understanding of market value
- Guidance around tax and maintenance implications
- Realistic expectations of long-term outcomes
- Fair, calm, and structured communication
The goal is always the same: ensure real estate choices support an equitable settlement and create a stable foundation for everyone involved.
Supporting My Community Whenever Time Allows
My community involvement reflects causes that matter to me and to many families in our area. I support MA22 (veteran PTSD and suicide prevention), participate in Leukemia & Lymphoma fundraising efforts including Light the Night, and recently organized a community blood drive at my RE/MAX Gateway office.
These efforts keep me connected to the people who make Monmouth and Ocean Counties such meaningful places to live.
