Every deal I handle starts by making sure the numbers work for you.
My approach
Buying or selling a home is more than a real estate transaction. It’s one of the most important financial decisions you’ll make. Before building my real estate business, I spent more than 36 years in the financial services industry, first in banking and later as the owner of a financial planning firm. That experience gives me a unique perspective in real estate: I understand not only the value of a home, but how the decisions you make today can impact your financial future.
My mission is simple: to serve, connect, and deliver a real estate experience built on trust, knowledge, innovation, and heart.
Whether you’re buying your first home, selling a longtime family property, relocating, or expanding your investment portfolio, I am committed to providing the strategy, guidance, and advocacy you need to make confident real estate decisions.
What fifty plus years in finance and municipal government taught me about buying a house
I spent thirty-six years in the financial industry, first as a banker and then as the owner of Rose Financial Group, before I held a real estate license. I read loan products the way other people read listings. I know which lenders can close in ten days to three weeks, and which ones understand a self-employed borrower, and that conversation happens before we look at a single house.
I spent two years as Economic Development Coordinator for the City of Magnolia and helped write its first comprehensive plan. I served nine years on the Magnolia ISD school board, two of them as president. When you ask about zoning, an HOA or a school district, the answer comes from someone who has sat on the other side of that table.
Community involvement has always been at the heart of how I do business. I built my financial planning firm through relationships formed in the Chamber of Commerce and the communities I served. And I’ve built my real estate business the same way. Today, much of my business comes from referrals and long-standing relationships. In fact, many of the stories shared on this site began with something very simple: someone I had served introducing me to someone they cared about.

A move-in ready home in Eagle Springs, Humble, priced a touch under market on purpose. Three buyers, under contract in a week, closed in three weeks at $20,000 over the list price.

A buyer who knew exactly which Kingwood neighborhood and floor plan he wanted. We waited for a foreclosure to list, watched the price come down, moved the day it hit his range, and won the bid with roughly $100,000 of equity on closing day.

A young couple bought their first home in a riverside community in Porter, Texas. A year later a baby, a job move and a pull toward family changed everything. In a heavy buyer's market we went under contract in a week and they broke even.

About
I started in banking in 1972 and spent thirty-six years in the financial industry, the later years as the owner of Rose Financial Group, which I sold in 2008. I spent two years after that helping the City of Magnolia plan its next twenty, and then went into residential real estate because I had bought and sold enough of my own homes to know I could do the job well. I co-founded the Magnolia Education Foundation in 2001 and serve on the board of the Humble ISD Education Foundation today, where I am a past chair.
