Over the course of a distinguished 35-year career in real estate, Jeff has built expertise across sales, finance, and title/legal—experience that has helped more than 15,000 homeowners close on over $5 billion in residential real estate. A true tech enthusiast, he’s passionate about “building a better mousetrap,” combining today’s rapidly evolving technology with timeless, uncompromising customer service to create streamlined systems that simplify the sales, lending, and closing journey for clients.

In addition to his success in real estate and technology, Jeff is an International Speaker, Trainer, and Coach. He is a five-time Inman Ambassador—the only mortgage loan originator in the nation to earn that recognition—and has served as the Women’s Council of Realtors’ Director of Communications & Technology for both Region 5 (New England) and Region 6 (Mid-Atlantic), making him the only professional to ever hold dual regional positions.

Outside the industry, Jeff’s proudest title is father. He is deeply devoted to his two remarkable sons—one Autistic and the other formerly diagnosed with extreme ADHD—who are his world. For fun, he has spent years coaching youth baseball, track, and football, from small-town teams to nationally ranked semi-professional programs. His lifelong passion extends beyond sports and real estate to service—volunteering in soup kitchens, community suppers, and homeless shelters, with a special heart for children and those in need.
