Shevy has always been interested in Real Estate. He began investing in real estate soon after graduating college by invested in properties out-of-state that demonstrated positive cashflow using conventional financing. The property investments provided a connection to the world of real estate as he started a construction company to add value to his own real estate and provide service to others. His goal has always been to serve others through helping them buy, sell or improve real estate.

Now that the real estate bubble has burst, he wants to help people find the right home for them. Since late 2007, his focus has been on helping people navigate the rough waters of a housing market decline. He has convinced many clients to postpone their property purchase, and those that have bought homes did so knowing the risks. All have used stable financing with conservative metrics; they will not become foreclosure statistics.

He is a competitive person; he enjoys many team sports, and the challenges of being an entrepreneur. This competitive spirit helps him represent you in the sometimes confrontational world of real estate negotiation. There is a balance between pushing so hard that the deal crumbles, and not pushing hard enough to get the most favorable price and terms. He always seeks this point of balance where good deals go through and both parties are satisfied with the results.

He is proud of his track record and how he operates in the world of real estate. He prides himself on giving people a clear picture of the market and helping them to feel comfortable with the biggest decision of their lives. He is a great resource for IHB readers.
