My journey into real estate video began in 2005, and while my initial attempts were less than polished, I quickly discovered a true passion for creating engaging and informative videos for Altru Realty agents and the wider community. Today, I’m proud to operate a fully equipped video studio within my Altru Realty office, right here in St. Petersburg.

To ensure the delivery of high-quality and informative “how-to” real estate videos, I’ve assembled a skilled team of social media experts and experienced video editors. We collaborate closely throughout the production process. One video I highly recommend, especially for homebuyers, is titled “How to Buy a Home Using a FARBAR ‘As-Is’ Real Estate Contract.” This video provides an in-depth exploration of the FARBAR contract, the concept of equitable interest, escrow procedures, and the various risks associated with the home buying process. This production reflects my perspective and expertise as a seasoned listing agent.

Another personal favorite is “Which Florida Real Estate Contract is Better: FARBAR ‘As-Is’ or ‘Regular’ Repair Limit Contract?” This video helps consumers understand the nuances of these two important contracts.

“Selling a Home in the Digital Age” is a recounting of my journey as a broker, delving into the realm of personally negotiating countless transactions over my extensive 18-year career. What I stumbled upon rather late in my professional path is the profound impact that every seller, whether their property sold or not, has on shaping the type of agent one evolves into.

In my relentless pursuit of excellence, I aspired to be the best, firmly believing I had achieved that distinction. I fiercely advocated for my clients and their financial interests. It’s crucial to note that my adversaries were no pushovers; they were formidable opponents. I unapologetically defied conventional industry norms regarding contract timelines, escrow amounts, appraisal shortfall risks, loan approval deadlines, counteroffers, and a myriad of other negotiation aspects.

In my eyes, I was entrusted to safeguard their financial assets, a responsibility I took with the utmost seriousness. While the passage of time has seen me temper some of my fervor, my core approach remains unchanged. However, it’s important to acknowledge that this mission and approach did not come without cost.
