As someone with over 30 years experience in real estate, I think this will be a good opportunity for me to share some of my experience and knowledge. Feel free to ask me questions and share your Rhode Island real estate experiences and opinions.
Location: West Warwick / Narragansett, Rhode Island, United States
I began my real estate career in San diego in 1975 establishing an office in Mission Beach. San diego was booming back then but you could still buy bay front or ocean front property for under $100,000. My first real estate deal was a multi property exchange and I ended up with a boat as commission. I used the boat as down payment on a Mission Bay front townhouse and have been a strong believer in the value of real estate ever since. Helping other people acquire homes and land is a very satisfying experience for me. I also spend a lot of time fixing up and renovating houses which gives me a feeling of accomplishment. The real estate business is cyclical with ups and downs. Fortunately, those ups and downs have not been as extreme in the past decade as they were in the 70's and 80's. I moved back to Rhode Island in the early 80's and started a second career in the computer industry and maintained a part time interest in real estate. For the past 6 years all my work has been in real estate activities. I look forward to serving you and helping you with any questions you may have about real estate.
