VIP Directory

Welcome to my VIP* Directory!

I have put together a referral network of service providers who help me, not only with my real estate business, but also with my personal life.

Many of the providers listed here are known to me personally and are my go-to guys and gals when the need arises. Others have been referred to me by YOU…my friends and clients. I am always eager to hear about great people you have worked with, so drop me a line if you think there’s someone that should be added to this list.

My only caveat with this list is that phone numbers can change and businesses go OUT of business. So, while I did my best to verify all the information in this directory, please don’t be mad at me if you run into a disconnected number or an otherwise unreachable provider. But DO tell me about it so I can update my records. (And, of course, see my disclaimer below)

You might notice that there are some holes in my list, so if you know someone fabulous who you can wholeheartedly recommend, please share. I’ll contact them directly and be sure to let them know who referred them to me.
