Real returns.
I work at the intersection of brokerage and investment — sourcing on and off-market opportunities, underwriting the numbers, and managing execution from acquisition to sale. Whether you want to be fully passive or deeply involved, I structure deals that create a clear, transparent win for both sides.

How We Work Together
Three ways to put
your capital to work.
your capital to work.
01
Capital Partner / JV
Fund the deal. I run it.
You put in the down payment — typically 20–25% of purchase price. A preferred hard money lender carries the balance and rehab draws. I source the deal, negotiate acquisition as your agent, vet and manage contractors, oversee the project start to finish, and sell it as your listing agent. Your capital works. You don't have to.

Deal Sourcing — Active Investors
You have the system.
I find the inventory.
I find the inventory.
You're an experienced operator — contractor, developer, or seasoned investor — with your own financing, crew, and process. What you need is consistent, qualified deal flow. I use agent-level access to both MLS and off-market relationships to surface opportunities that fit your criteria, run the comps, determine realistic ARV, and model the spread before I ever bring it to you. You evaluate. You decide.

Your asset. My network.
Full execution.
Full execution.
You own the capital and want to own the outcome — but you don't want to manage a renovation or coordinate a development. I source the right property as your agent, connect you with my preferred developers, architects, and contractors, and oversee execution through to resale or refinance. Stay as involved or hands-off as you choose.

The Advantage
Why structure a deal
through me.
through me.
Agent on Both Sides
I represent acquisition and resale. That keeps commission costs sharp and puts me fully aligned with the outcome — not just the close.
Off & On-Market Access
Agent relationships and direct outreach surface deals before they're widely known. A better entry price is the highest-leverage variable in any flip.
Disciplined Underwriting
Every deal comes with a full cost waterfall, ARV analysis, and realistic rehab scope. I don't bring an opportunity unless the numbers hold under stress.
Preferred Lender Relationships
Established hard money relationships mean efficient capital, competitive rates, and fast draw schedules that keep projects on timeline.
Vetted Contractor Network
The rehab is where most flips lose money. I work with contractors who have proven timelines, clear scopes, and accountability — not just the lowest bid.
Long-Term Orientation
I'm building a portfolio, not closing a single deal. Every investor I work with is someone I want calling me on deal three, not just deal one.
How a Deal Works
From first look to final distribution.
01 / SOURCE
Find the deal
On and off-market. Comps, ARV, cost waterfall. Only the deals that pencil.
02 / STRUCTURE
Align capital
Investor terms, HML commitment, down payment, equity split finalized.
03 / ACQUIRE
Close the buy
Represent buyer at purchase. Negotiate price and terms. Close with preferred lender.
04 / EXECUTE
Run the project
Manage full rehab. Contractors, timeline, budget. Regular updates throughout.
05 / EXIT
Sell & distribute
List as agent, negotiate the best exit, distribute per the agreed waterfall.
I'm selective about what I bring
and who I build with.
Let's talk about what makes sense.
