I have accumulated well over thirty years of experience in real estate and real estate finance. I have sold and/or underwritten over two billion dollars in real estate lending products. I have managed a lender bank portfolio of millions of dollars of real estate loans including responsibility for sales of bank owned properties. In 2018, I established and still manage a successful real estate brokerage offering property management of residential rental units, and also on and off market residential sales. I developed a passion for The Finger Lakes several years ago; boating, kayaking, and vacationing on the lakes. Ultimately, I purchased a home on Canandaigua Lake and live there year-round with my wife Tracy and two golden retrievers; Midas and Harper (they love the lakes too!) I am currently a water quality monitor for The Canandaigua Lake Watershed Association. I plan to continue learning about lake initiatives and stewardship with them. What I have found discouraging are experiences that I have seen both buyers and sellers of lake homes experience. Having sold lots of houses does not equate to understanding the nuances of lake real estate. Lake real estate is not only about housing. It is about a lifestyle. There are many important considerations, not only from the perspective of if a house is a good investment, but also how it supports a lifestyle. There are concerns to consider with a property on a dynamic body of water.

I am a Las Vegas Realtor who built my business by rejecting the idea that every market is a good market. It is not. Most people in this industry are addicted to saying the right thing instead of the honest thing. I pay attention to what buyers are doing when nobody is watching. Deals falling apart. Sellers clinging to prices that no longer exist. Fear showing up quietly before the headlines ever admit it. This is where the real story is. I work with buyers and investors who want clarity, not comfort, because comfort is expensive. In this business, people lose money when they follow the crowd and ignore what is right in front of them. My job is to cut through the noise, call out what is actually happening, and help my clients move with discipline while everyone else is reacting late. S.0197086 Milestone Realty
