eXp Realty

After 26 years in the industry, personally managing hundreds of agents, I now use the skills I learned to continue to coach, mentor and assist agents in the development of their career in real estate.

Real Estate Broker Associate

Personal LLC's

What started as a plan to acquire several rental homes to secure retirement turned into a niche to which I may have had a hidden skill.  Over the years I have bought and held rental properties, remodeled and flipped many homes, physically moved several homes from one location to the other to remodel and flip.  These activities helped me gain the knowledge to be a great resource to other investors and to those desiring to step into that field.

Real Estate Investor

eXp Realty, LLC

Provided all the duties and handled the responsibilities of a brokerage.  However, was the pioneer in introducing eXp Realty to South Carolina.  As the first agent in the state of South Carolina, I was challenged to introduce a new business model to the real estate industry.   During my tenure as Broker In Charge for the state I improved my skills in agent attraction and agent support which established me as the "go to guy" for those that wanted to learn more about building a strong career in the real estate industry.  At the time of my departure of the Broker In Charge position I was overseeing 350 agents.  

Awarded the First "Spirit of Ownership" award.   The inscription reads "For exemplifying the spirit of ownership through your dedication to your fellow agent-owners".

Passionate About Every Aspect of Real Estate

With 27 years in real estate, I’ve been deeply involved in nearly every part of the industry, including:

Buying, Selling & Flipping
Remodeling & Building

Through these roles, I’ve developed a residual income that’s built to last, a legacy in the making. My journey has shown me that real estate isn’t just about properties—it’s about people.

My Core Beliefs:

Invest in people, not just in business.
Everyone has untapped potential; it’s my mission to help them grow.
There’s always more to learn, and I’m here for it.
Throughout my career, I’ve held leadership roles that focus on developing others. There’s nothing more rewarding than helping someone achieve their goals and seeing them thrive.

Personal Mission: To assist others to develop themselves spirituality, financially and emotionally.

How can I support your journey?
