As we enter 2019, the nation’s economy appears to have its ups and downs due to many moving parts.

I am neither an economist nor fortune teller, but with more than 30 years of experience in the Real Estate industry and as an advisor to clients in the market, it is my duty and passion to have my finger on the pulse of trends and forecast the coming future.
