He’s committed to making the journey seamless and stress-free, providing clear guidance, honest communication, and personalized support every step of the way.

When he’s not working with clients, CJ finds inspiration in music—whether singing or playing guitar—and loves exploring new places through travel. These passions bring creativity and balance to his life and strengthen the personal, genuine connection he brings to his work.

CJ is honored to be a part of your journey and looks forward to helping you turn your real estate goals into reality.

"As a first time homebuyer, I really needed an agent that was knowledgeable and someone I could trust. CJ was that guy. He handheld me through my first ever home buying transaction and though the market is uncertain right now, he helped take away a lot of the anxiety of the purchase. Recommend him for anyone that may be looking for an agent."

"Thank you CJ for helping my husband and I find our first home! We were really lucky to be matched with CJ on Zillow! Many realtors dismissed me and focused on my husband but CJ was very professional and made sure both my husband and I felt comfortable and supported through the house hunting process. He was very flexible, easy to communicate with and very thoughtful. He sat down with us to get all the information so he can send us listings that matched with our price, aesthetic and areas. In the 5-6 months since working with him, he was always very patient, enthusiastic about any homes and had our best interest. We’ve put down multiple offers and he always looked through the disclosures with us and guided us. He always went the extra mile. We always looked forward to open house weekends with him and any of his colleagues. We’re really grateful for his kindness through this long-ish journey. "

"Looking for a home and don't know where to start? call CJ. I was referred to CJ by another one of his clients and extremely happy that we connected with him. We were in the market to purchase a home but had absolutely no idea where to even start. A phone call was made to CJ, he listened to our needs and connected me to a mortgage company within an hour. CJ explained everything to me every step of the way and was available and responsive throughout the process."

"10/10 experience working with CJ. From the very start he showed initiative and commitment to helping me find my dream home. He was super responsive the entire time and really held my hand throughout the entire process. As a first time buyer I went into the home search process with stress but CJ made everything super easy for me. Within less than a week of meeting him he had generated a list of properties he thought I would like. We visited his number 1 on a Friday afternoon. I fell in love with it and that same day we put in an offer. There were 3 other offers but CJ negotiated and went to bat for me and the very next day the seller approved our offer. I now live in my dream home thanks to CJ. Everyone I know is in disbelief at how quickly he moved and at the fact our very first offer was accepted. Thank you CJ for everything! Highly recommend!"
