With years of experience in real estate, Doug draws his knowledge from educational opportunities and field experiences. From being an integral part of every aspect of the selling and buying process, the mortgage qualifications, the research of properties (including their history and town regulations), the home inspection, to the legalities of listing, selling and of closing. Doug is trained as a Seller's Agent, Commercial Agent, Buyer's Agent, REO (bank-owned properties), and Short Sales. He believes that knowledge is power! It allows him to offer the best service to Sellers and Buyers, alike. As important as it is to know all that he can, it is equally important to him to treat all individuals with compassion. Doug wants to be familiar with what is it like to walk in their shoes and understand their needs so that he can help them meet their goals. Whether you are a new kid on the block or a seasoned veteran of home ownership, Doug makes it his goal to appreciate your circumstances, offering you his knowledge, his experience, and his understanding. While he embraces technology as a tool to help communicate, he also believes in personal contact and being responsive to questions and concerns. When you call Doug, he always picks up the phone!
