I am a career Realtor.  I started selling real estate in 1986 at the age of 19.  I became a broker and owner of a Century 21 Franchise in 1989, where I worked until 2001.  A couple of mergers later and I am an office manager for the largest firm in Greater Lansing, Coldwell Banker Hubbell BriarWood.  My experience as an owner, agent, manager, past president of the Greater Lansing Association of Realtors, and RPAC Trustee for the Michigan Association of Realtors has put me in rare company.  I have seen the industry from many different angles and have a much broader understanding because of my experiences.

I work throughout the Greater Lansing Area specializing in Residential Real Estate, New Homes and Construction, Vacant Land and Investment Properties.

I live in Williamston with my wife of over 20 years and my 2 teenagers Lindsey and Josh.  I love Michigan State sports, and golfing.  I can't imagine living any place else but in Michigan.

I work the Greater Lansing area including the following communities; Lansing, East Lansing, Okemos, Haslett, Williamston, Webberville, Fowlerville,Bath, Laingsburg, Perry, Holt, Eaton Rapids, Mason, Dansville,Waverly, Grand Ledge, Potterville, Dewitt & St Johns.  I have been selling new construction including neighborhoods, vacant land, condos, residential re-sale, and income producing properties to 20 units.

As an ABR I am accredited to represent Buyers.  So if you are buying your first home or your retirement home I can make your experience a positive one.

I have assisting  Sellers in marketing their homes since 1986.  I understand the changes in marketing your home.  Using conventional marketing techniques or marketing your home today.  I am constantly working to keep up with the ever changing real estate markets.  My e-Pro (e-marketing) training has been invaluable.

I am designated through the National Home Builders Association to assist you in finding a builder and completing that new home or finding the perfect Builder's Model Home

Let me help you with finding the perfect property or selling your existing real estate.

Jeff was great. He was able to work with me at any time I needed. He was always available, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone. I will use him in the future for any more homes I decide to buy or sell.
