How did you get started in real estate? After I retired from my finance/business career, I was looking for an opportunity to be in business for myself. I was attracted to real estate sales because they afforded the opportunity to start a new business without a major investment.

Most memorable house: About four years ago, I worked with clients, helping them build their dream house. It was indeed a pleasure to work with these clients because they knew exactly what they wanted. We also had an excellent builder who provided us with a truly premium lot and numerous design options for a custom estate home. It was a labor of love to watch the house being built with commitment and dedication by all involved, resulting in a spectacular home. Certainly there were challenging moments with regard to coordination, selection and interaction with the builders, vendors and contractors. It was a great learning experience for me - but a very rewarding one.
Worst experience buying or selling a house: A few years ago, my colleague and I worked with a client to purchase a home in Maryland. It was a major challenge from beginning to end with problems every step of the way. We had a seller who felt the buyers would never come through. We had a listing agent who was not always available. We had a buyer with high expectations. We had a lender that was not reliable. Clearly the combination of these circumstances spelled disaster. After many delays, changing of lenders, many amendments and many changes in settlement dates, it was amazing we actually closed the deal.
