Affiliate Spotlight
“I donate a portion of my proceeds from each closed transaction to a facility that assists in helping people recover from drug and alcohol addiction and I donate my time to these facilities.
After joining the board I wanted to get active and have since participated in the Leadership Academy, served on the Membership in Motion Committee, and am currently the chairman for the Professional Development committee and sit on the Professional Standards Committee.”
How has being an affiliate member of Bonita Springs-Estero Realtors® benefited your career? When I relocated to SWFL I had the choice of multiple dif- ferent boards to join. I chose Bonita Springs-Estero Realtors because of its size. The smaller board was appealing to me as I don’t feel like I am just a number. It is easier to build relationships and friendships that have benefitted me both personally and professionally.
What role does your business play in the real estate industry?
My mortgage company provides lending options to residential home buyers. We offer loan options for primary, secondary, and investment properties. As a mortgage broker, we offer more loan program options and potentially fewer restrictions than most banks and mort- gage lenders while still being extremely competitive with rates and fees.
What are your favorite parts of living in south- west Florida?
One of the absolutely amazing parts of SWFL is the breath- taking sunsets. No two are ever alike. In addition to that are just the beaches and all we can do on the water. The fishing, boating, kayaking, or admiring the wonders of the magnifi- cent wildlife here. Can never get enough of seeing an alliga- tor in the wild. Such amazing creatures, not to mention the range of different beautiful birds.
