What recent project, transaction or accomplishment are you most proud of? I started in the Rhode Island market as an appraiser that had a salesperson license. My business was split heavily in favor of appraisal work – over the last five years I have expanded my network exponentially and developed lasting relationships within the Rhode Island business community. As a result, commercial property sales now make up the bulk of my business. I am extremely proud of the relationships built over the years that have fostered this growth.
