I like to be thought of as a creative Realtor, my experience in Real Estate is extensive, 25 years in the business as of 2009, with a wall full of top producer awards.

I consider myself to be a "value added" Realtor that "counsels" his clients to determine what is the best strategy for their needs.

A member of the National Council of Exchangors and the local group, Sierra Reno Exchangors I use these forums to expose your property to a local and National audience if you have the an exchange property and the desire to do something creative with your property.

I have used boats for down payments, barter currency, notes to balance equities, and different forms of Real and personal property in "equity marketing" techniques.

I have ideas for using your self directed 401K/IRA money in Real Estate vehicles, giving you alternatives to the stock market.

I know how to use a calculator and can help you understand the types of yields in investment properties and how to value both Residential and Commercial properties based on income streams.

I'm an experienced investor, my wife Sherri and I own several investments such as duplexes, tri-plexes, four plexes, SFR's, notes, partnerships in LLC's holding Real Estate and businesses, corporate shares in a ranch in Idaho and other holdings.

With that said I also know how to sell a house in the conventional way, my wife Sherri and I have sold hundreds of houses over the years.

Our daughter Amber has followed our footsteps and is also a Realtor at Ferrari-Lund.

What is the most important service a Realtor can provide? Simply to tell the truth of the matter. Without that everything becomes dysfunctional. I make every effort to tell it to you straight to the best of my ability.

I believe that the function of a Realtor is basically twofold, either solving problems or creating opportunities.

If this sounds like the business philosophy of someone that you would like to work with then let's have a conversation.

I'll Guarantee that you won't be disappointed!
