As a professional Texas real estate broker, Tony practices what he teaches daily.Along with his real estate knowledge, Tony brings his martial arts (Aikido), administrative, entreprenurial, engineering, and computer experience to the table. His philosophy of "win-win or no deal" comes from his mentor, David Scott.
When Tony is not practicing real estate, he is in the classroom either as a student or teacher. Mentoring newer agents in achieving their goals has been fulfilling in itself for Tony. By remaining proactive and setting expectations early, he is often called upon to use his problem solving and diplomatic skills to complete a real estate transaction when issues arise.
Tony's belief that "helping people is part of God's plan" propels him forward. Tony has lived in the Houston area since 1980 and would not be anywhere else. He is married to his lovely wife, Anita, since 1981 and has six children. By being intentional with his children's growth, Tony has three demands of them: they must graduate from college, get at least one black belt in a martial art and he is their father for life (not just until 18 years old). He and Anita both volunteer and coach soccer for FFPS.
