Where did you grow up?  I was a New Haven Rocket! Green and White Fight Fight!

Favorite book?  The Bible, the book of Genesis is my personal favorite.    

Favorite movie?  Hands down JAWS!  Were gonna need a bigger boat!  

What's your single most important piece of advice for people in real estate?  Say what you mean and mean what you say.  You have to have character and integrity in this business.  

What the biggest real estate mistake people make?  I think the biggest mistake people make is trying to sell their home themselves.  Statistics show that over 90 percent of all "for sale by owners" end up hiring a Realtor and your home will sell for more money when a professional is handling the sale.
