What Matters
What’s the most rewarding part of helping a client buy or sell a property?
Being a true problem solver for them and knowing that every new problem is unique and that each has their own challenges and rewards.
How do you approach a deal differently than others in the market?
I like to make more of a personal connection as I have found that people enjoy working with the broker more so than the firm or any other aspect. When people know that they can trust me and that I will make the most informed decision for them, it leads to much success.
What’s a moment where you made a meaningful difference for a client?
We had a closing on a property downtown that was originally scheduled to take place in early December. For more than one reason or another, the closing was delayed and we were told that it was not going to happen before the end of the year. Our client really needed to sell the property before years end so I worked diligently through the holidays to make sure it would happen and we closed 12/30/2025.
What makes Commonwealth Commercial different from other firms?
100% the people and the culture. I enjoy the people that I work with the most and find that I enjoy spending time with them outside of the office as well. I was told early on that “Commonwealth doesn’t hire jerks” and the saying couldn’t be more true.
What’s a value that guides how you work with clients?
I’m a firm believer in if you treat others with respect and how you would want to be treated, the world has a funny way of rewarding you for that.
