Real estate broker closing residential and commercial deals, using market analysis and negotiation to maximize client outcomes.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Real Estate Broker with 10+ years closing residential and commercial transactions in Fort Wayne. I manage full-cycle deals—listing, marketing, showings, inspections, appraisals, financing, and closing—while consistently closing 15–18 transactions annually.
I bring a data-first approach to pricing and negotiation, conducting CMAs to price properties within 2% of final sale value and negotiating contracts to save clients $4,200+ on average in concessions and repairs. I generate 60% of leads through networking, cold calling, referrals, and digital marketing (Zillow, Realtor.com, social media), and I advise on staging and pricing strategy to reduce DOM by 25%.
