Who you're working with

I don't work this market. I live in it.

Golf before the first showing, surf when the swell shows up, most nights at the cutting board, and two decades with Melissa.

What this is

This is not where you browse houses.

The listings are everywhere. What they can't tell you is which block holds its value, which remodel was permitted, or which seller is actually ready to move.

Todd pairs a general contracting and marketing background with real, hands-on property knowledge, so the questions that matter get asked before the offer, not after.

The other half is people. Working here since 2017, he knows the agents on the other side of most deals, and they know him. That's how a listing reaches the right buyer before it ever hits the market, and why his offers get a second look when they land.
