Born and raised in Central Florida with family roots going back some 3 generations here. I presently live in Altamonte Springs with my wife and 2 daughters. I've seen many changes in Orlando over the years. I know much about the history of the area and most of the neighborhoods.
I have been investing in Central Florida real estate since the early 1990's. After obtaining my Florida sales associate license, I worked with one of the big-named franchise offices for a while but knew there had to be a better way to offer services to customers. When I am not doing real estate, I enjoy watching movies, reading, exercising, traveling, and spending time with my family.
Professional licenses:
Member of the National Association of Realtors, Florida Association of Realtors, Orlando Regional Realtor Association, Real Estate Buyer's Agent Council, and Central Florida Realty Investors. Served as focus group leader, board of director, officer, committee member, trainer, speaker, and author for many of these various Realtor and real estate investor related organizations.
We work with buyers, sellers, and landlords in all types of residential, vacant land, and smaller commercial transactions. We also work with investors who are looking for foreclosures, fixer-uppers, rentals, hard money loans, seller financing, subject to, lease purchases, short sales, and other creative real estate deals. We know how to structure win-win transactions, and we have lots of local contacts to help make even the toughest deals go through. We offer full-service, menu-based services, a la carte services, and flat fee MLS listing services.
Personally my real estate practice is 4-fold.
(1) I buy and sell properties for myself - wholesaling or flipping a few deals every year as well as managing my own portfolio of rental properties, mortgages, and notes. This was my original intent when I obtained my real estate license back in the 1990's. Since that time I built an email list of real estate investors that receive our new investment deals regularly. You can sign up for that list on our site's home page.
(2) Along with my experienced sales team, we work together on short sales, bank and lender-owned REO listings, investors looking for great deals, and regular buyer and seller full service listings in Central Florida and metro Orlando. You can get more information about our services to real estate investors and our regular full services to buyer and sellers here.
(3) Flat fee MLS listing and for sale by owner services all over the State of Florida. We are a pioneer in the flat fee listing industry in that we started offering this service way back in 1998 when transaction brokerage in Florida was in its infancy, and nobody had even heard of this type of service. You can get more information about this flat fee MLS service here.
(4) Brokerage management. Our office has many sales associates / Realtors and staff that I get to manage on a day-to-day basis. I am an owner, operator, and managing broker of Sand Dollar Realty Group, Inc. We have some 100+ agents in our office with a big diversity in ethnicity, and one of our associates will make a good fit for you. We have associates that speak English, Spanish, and many other languages.
