The real life of a realtor.

  • A husband to Kim.

  • A Dad to Teddy.

  • A Dad to Ben.

  • A twin.

  • An avid golfer.

  • A marathon runner.

Years of experience have led to areas of expertise.

While as a CENTURY 21 agent I focus on all areas of real estate, including rentals and property management, there are areas that have naturally been more successful and that have been a springboard for my career.

Raw land sales

    • 40%
Over the years I have sold numerous luxury beachfront parcels, unique oceanfront lots and many raw land purchases in between. I have vast experience in buying and selling large tracts of land, smaller parcels and beach-frontage. I stay knowledgeable of local zoning guidelines, Planning procedures and requirements and stamp duty information so that I can properly and swiftly inform my clients who have an interest in raw land.

Residential sales

    • 40%
Selling homes, condominiums and apartments is a focus; I take great pleasure in helping my clients find a new home, a second home or an investment property; many of my clients are repeat clients where I get to help them purchase and then years later, I assist in selling and helping them buy again.

Commercial leasing

    • 20%
I have assisted numerous businesses in relocating and finding a new place to call “home”. While it can be challenging to find commercial properties that meet all of their criteria, I enjoy the task.

Career &
experience

Every transaction is worthwhile and every closing gives a renewed sense of achievement. But there are some deals, for varied reasons, that have marked my career and that I will remember forever.

Canal Point:
record setting raw land purchase

USD $2M+

An overseas client who was relocating to Grand Cayman had a steep demand: find a large canal front property within the Seven Mile Beach corridor. At the time there were few lots available, and their preference was in Canal Point. I was able to find an off-market parcel, negotiate a price and commit the deal for a very happy buyer and happy seller. It was a record setting sales price.

Seaspray Residence:
matching buyers' needs in a time crunch

USD $2M+

My clients visited Grand Cayman on other business, and fell in love with its charm, safety, and beauty. They swiftly decided to relocate and needed to find a large permanent residence along with an investment property. I lined up showings at more than twenty properties, first personally vetted the locations, and narrowed it down to a few listings. We settled on what was the last showing – a property that was coming to the market but hadn’t hit the MLS yet. I was able to find this property, present the home, negotiate the offer and finalize the deal. My clients were in their new home, and had added an investment property to their portfolio, within one month of receiving instructions.

About me

I was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland before moving to Florida where I lived for eight years. After regular visits to Grand Cayman, I relocated in 2011. While my background was in construction and hospitality, I found that my skillset was fit for the Cayman real estate market and so, with great appreciation, I took the opportunity before me to grow and build a real estate career. In July 2011, I joined the CENTURY 21 Cayman team.

Over the years, I have built an extensive network who provide me with invaluable insight of the Cayman market; from regulations/requirements to new legislation, passed down from lawyers, valuators and those in financial institutions.

I take great pride in offering those who I get the opportunity to work with the best in service and cherish the relationships that have been built and that continue to grow throughout my career. If you would like to work with a knowledgable, eager, accessible and down to earth guy, then let's talk.
