What Matters

What does being a true partner to your clients mean to you?

Being a true partner to your client means trying to put yourself in their shoes and understanding what’s most important to their goal. I try to be fully transparent and give my honest opinion so they can make a decision they believe is best. Sometimes taking my salesman hat off and delivering my honest opinion on a particular matter may cause a transaction to fall apart, but that will establish trust and a long-term relationship because they know I am looking out in their best interest. Also, when they call, you answer!

What’s something you always look for when evaluating a property or deal?

I try and figure out what potential problems or concerns are early on when evaluating a property or deal. Our time is most valuable thing we have so understanding the issues from the beginning can help me determine whether the property or deal is worth pursuing with clients or not.

How does Commonwealth add value beyond a typical brokerage relationship?

We try and establish a relationship with our clients to not only help them succeed on the transactional aspect of the business, but to help them out with all the pieces that are part of it. That would include local engineers, architects, lenders, attorneys, etc. We understand the transactional side is just one piece of the puzzle and we try and help make recommendations to help them achieve our clients end goal.

What do you enjoy most about working at Commonwealth?

The culture at Commonwealth is unmatched. We’ve built and established a great team of brokers and supporting staff that you won’t find anywhere else. I enjoy waking up every day to come to work because of the people that work here.
