About George
Chip has lived in the state of Florida for over 25 years. Before moving to Florida, he received a bachelor’s degree from the University of Toledo (Ohio) in secondary education. He decided to move to Florida to start his career and experience the “Florida lifestyle”
Chip’s real estate career began in 1996 when he decided that he needed some extra money to supplement a teaching income. With the help of a lifelong friend and top-notch real estate agent, he was able to purchase foreclosure homes, fix them up, and sell them at a decent profit. Eventually, as he became more competent and successful, he began to invest in rental properties. Within 2 years, Chip was earning twice his teaching income. By 2002, he had taken on nearly 50 rental properties, while continuing to buy and sell property.
Around this same time, Chip had several people approach him and ask for advice on how to become a successful real estate investor. His advice led directly to the success of these individuals, who have become close friends.
After doing some soul searching, Chip realized that his true talent in real estate was dealing with investors, and potential homeowners who see real estate as one of the best investment opportunities available. Once he came to this realization, Chip decided to obtain a real estate license so he could pursue property management, real estate counseling, and provide a service different from the mainstream. Shortly after obtaining his license in 2004, he approached Bob Matthews, and together they produced a flat fee listing idea that will save both homeowners and investors thousands in real estate commissions. It is Chip and Bob’s philosophy not to just list properties for a fee and forget about them, but to provide advice and counseling to the customer until their house is sold.
Within the first month of obtaining his license, Chip closed on seventeen houses and listed six. His extensive background as an investor, along with contacts with other agents and investors, give both Chip and Bob the opportunity to close deals quickly with the highest possible yield to the seller. Please feel free to call regarding any type of real estate question.
