WHY HIRE JAMIE?
In order to be a successful Realtor, you must follow-up and follow through on your tasks. Jamie has 3 rules in sales. It is follow-up, follow-up and follow-up. He has found that the best way to develop/master solid sales skills is to follow-up. “I’ve been challenged with every position I’ve held, and I’ve always turned the corner after a learning curve and have been successful with every position held.” Jamie was fortunate to retire early and took the real estate exam with his wife Lisa. “We completed the course and passed the exam in 4 weeks, going on to sell 38 homes in just 1.5 years. We then did the same to pass the Florida Law portion to obtain a license in 2 weeks.” Based upon Jamie’s business acumen, experience, and past track record you can bet his real estate success will translate easily to the Florida market.

FAMILY, COMMUNITY, AND SPORTS
Jamie has had numerous mentors over the years and at this point in my life, my biggest inspiration is my wife and children. My wife has battled through and beat a serious cancer illness and she keeps me balanced with life’s outlook. I’m getting great inspiration and affirmation after watching both children graduate from college, getting into their professional careers and becoming parents of their own. Jamie has always been active in the community serving on numerous boards, the chamber of commerce as an ambassador, and was also a youth football, basketball, and little league coach in the area for many years!
