Welcome

I spent a few decades in the beer industry, working for Miller Brewing Co, Leinenkugel’s, Mike’s Hard Lemonade and Breakthru Beverage. I have owned a fine dining-waterfront restaurant, an insurance and financial services agency, a brewery, creating the world’s first hard seltzer. Sold all that off and obtained my real estate license, working as a realtor since 2014 in Minnesota.

In 2024 I moved to The Villages, Florida. I had previously visited a few times and was just amazed at the opportunity and growth in and around The Villages. Since then, I’ve been learning the ins and outs of The Villages, bonds, CDD’s, MLS, VLS, FAR BAR and “as-is” contracts just to name a few nuances of Florida real estate and past my license exam becoming a realtor.

I have long lived by the philology of “Break Your Big Problems into Little Ones” and solve those. The Villages is a BIG problem to solve. So many options of where to live, then what style home to buy, and figure out what a CDD is, the bond, taxes, contracts and the list goes on. I have put together step by step booklets and guides on how to buy and sell in The Villages. They are right here at www.iknowarealtor.com. You will also find The Villages broken into 4 sections for ease of searching. As well as a buyers and sellers transactional coordinators checklist, making it easy for buyers and sellers to follow the process and know what’s coming next, be prepared, be confident, let the process play out without the stress.
