How I Approach my Work

I've always worked primarily with home sellers, though I enjoy working with home buyers as well - especially first-time home buyers. I love seeing my clients on their way to the financial independence that home ownerhsip can offer. After all, everyone purchases a home, it's just that renters purchase homes for their landlords.

I like to understand the data behind market forces. I trust my gut, but I think it's pretty irresponsible to quote a price off the top of my head without doing the research. I know how the market can fluctuate, just like a boat on the water, and how quickly the deck can shift under your feet.

But data is only part of the equation. Never, ever, ever underestimate how emotional the process of buying or selling a home can be! Being sensitive to the underlying need behind those emotions is key if I'm going to negotiate on my clients' behalf. My job is to hear and to understand, and to then calmly and professionally work to achieve your goals. Calm is a super power.

I think of myself as an advisor and a limited-use attorney. My responsibility is to act in my clients' best interests, to keep our conversations confidential, and to understand, inside out and backwards, the contracts the state provides for us to use. I want my clients to be able to make educated decisions - to understand the process, the strategies, and the costs involved in buying or selling their home. The more you know, the easier it is to make good decisions for your situation and the less unnecessary stress you'll have.

I believe that Kindness Pays. My good reputation within the real estate community directly benefits my clients - when other agents look forward to working with me they also look forward to working with my clients. It occasionally gets rough along the way, but my goal is always to have a happy and contented seller and a happy and contented buyer by the time we reach the closing table. Win-win.

Buying and selling a home can be life-changing. I know real estate, my clients know their lives. Together we can make those life-changing dreams come true.

My History

Fred and I worked together selling real estate in the Salt Lake valley for over 30 years. I have taught pre-licensing classes in Agency and Marketing for Stringham Real Estate School. I've been ranked in the top 500 agents for volume of sales in the Salt Lake Board of Realtors since 2005. In 2015 I was ranked 33rd for the number of closed sales in Salt Lake and Davis Counties, combined. I've received the Hall of Fame award from the Salt Lake Board of Realtors for sales performance, industry and government affairs service, and commitment to education.

How I Approach my Work

I work almost exclusively with home buyers.

I enjoy having buyers in the car and accompanying them as we visit prospective homes. I like being able to inform my clients about construction techniques and areas of concern. I really enjoy the process of negotiating on their behalf to get the home they want.

I have over 40 years of experience in construction and the trades, both personally and as a supervisor for renovation and restoration projects. I've worked as a roofer, plumber and electrician; done extensive restoration projects with historic homes; and have supervised multiple construction projects. I bring this experience with me to every home I see.

I prefer to open the door and let my clients decide whether or not this home is the one. While my clients browse through the kitchen, explore the layout, and enjoy the view I am looking critically at the home for areas of concern which may not be apparent to the casual observer.

I am the middle son - I got an early start in training as a negotiator. I pride myself on being a great listener. I strive to understand what my clients are looking to achieve, then make every effort to get it for them. My style is seldom confrontational, though I don't in any way shy away from difficult conversations. I have a clear vision of how to achieve my client's goals, which gives me firm ground on which to stand during negotiations.

If you have a good read on a seller's motivations then negotiations are usually pretty straightforward. It should never by an emotional firefight - I want to get what I'm negotiating for and walk away with a glad handshake from the other side.

With 35 years of experience in buying and selling real estate, both personally and with clients, there's not a lot I haven't encountered. I pride myself on being an extremely capable person. I'm the guy you want with you to help you find and get your dream home.

When I'm not building relationships with my clients, you can find me and my little crew on the local hiking trails.
