About
Thirty years of being patient on purpose.
I have been in the real estate industry for more than 30 years, first in New York City and now in Hampton, Virginia. My work has always come down to the same thing: good information, delivered with courtesy.

My background
From New York City to Hampton Roads.
“Buyers and sellers ultimately want to work with agents who are professional, courteous, and sensitive to their needs.”
I was originally licensed in New York City, where I held a broker’s license. I have now been licensed in Virginia for more than 18 years, and today I am an Associate Broker and Relocation Specialist with Realty Connect LLC.
Having relocated myself, I am well aware of the questions and concerns buyers have when they move from outside the Hampton Roads area. I have researched this region thoroughly, and I enjoy sharing what I have learned with people who are new to it.
In my years of brokerage I learned that people want an agent who is professional, courteous, and sensitive to their needs. I built my work around those values, and they have led to long relationships with both property owners and buyers.
I am also a firm believer that most real estate and mortgage searches begin on the internet. I have developed websites for years, and my blog and podcast are how I keep buyers and sellers informed between conversations.

Mr. Garguilo was immensely knowledgeable on the house buying process. He was quick with responses on any questions I had.
