I've been in the real estate business since 1983.  I started in Northern Virginia and worked at it part time for about 5 years.  In 1992 I moved to the Phoenix area with my two children.  After working in the corporate world for a few years, I decided to get my real estate license again.  I've been selling real estate successfully since 1995.  In 1999 I started my own company, CLA Realty.  I have been selling everything from 2nd home condo's to million dollar homes. Most recently I've been closing a lot of short sale properties and also bank-owned homes.
