How Every Home I Sell
Helps Foster Kids


When you work with me, the transaction does more than close. A portion of every commission goes directly to Best Foot Forward Foundation, right here in Boca Raton, funding academic support and mentorship for foster care youth.

Why This Matters to Me

A Father Who Has Seen Both Sides


Being a father changes the way you see every child you encounter. When I look at my own daughter, I see someone with a safety net, with guidance, with someone in her corner every single day. I do not take that for granted.

What I cannot stop thinking about is the child who does not have that. The kid navigating school and growing up without a parent showing them the way. Not because they are any less capable, but because circumstances put them at a starting line that is already further back than it should be.

“I can’t give every child what I give my own daughter. But I can make sure that every home I sell contributes something real to the ones who need it most.”

That is why I chose Best Foot Forward. They work specifically with foster care and at-risk youth in our backyard, in Boca Raton, giving them the academic support and guidance they need to actually compete in the world. Not charity in the abstract. Real programs, real kids, real results.

When you list your home with me, you are not just hiring an agent. You are joining something a little bigger than both of us.

About the Organization

What Best Foot Forward Actually Does


Best Foot Forward Foundation is a Boca Raton-based nonprofit fighting to level the playing field for foster care and at-risk youth. Their work is focused on one thing: making sure these kids have access to the same educational opportunities as every other child.

They provide academic support, tutoring, mentorship, and guidance to young people who are often navigating the school system with less stability and fewer resources than their peers. The goal is not just to help them get through. It is to help them maximize what they are capable of.

Their Mission

“To empower foster care and at-risk youth to maximize their potential by providing essential academic support and guidance.”

The Process

Simple. Every Time.


There is nothing complicated about it. It happens automatically at every closing.

01
You List Your Home

We work together to price it right, market it at a luxury level, and position it to attract serious buyers. That part does not change.

02
We Close Together

I negotiate on your behalf, manage the process, and get you to the closing table with as few surprises as possible.

03
A Portion Goes to Best Foot Forward

At every closing, a portion of my commission is donated directly to Best Foot Forward Foundation. Automatic. Every deal.

The Bigger Picture

Real Estate Is Already About Homes.
Let’s Make It About More.


I have sold homes in Boca Raton, Delray Beach, and across Palm Beach County for over a decade. More than $179 million in closed sales. I have watched this market grow, watched buyers put down roots here, and watched neighborhoods change.

What I know is that the value of a community goes beyond the price per square foot. It lives in the schools, the programs, the people who invest in the next generation. Best Foot Forward is doing exactly that, right here, in the same zip codes where my clients are buying and selling.

Every transaction I do is a vote for the kind of community I want this to be. Now there is a direct line between closing day and a kid in Boca Raton getting the support they deserve.

Why Local Matters

Your Closing Stays Right Here


Best Foot Forward is not a national organization with a Boca Raton chapter. It was built here. It operates here. The kids it serves go to school in the same communities where my clients live.

When you sell your home in Palm Beach County, you are already investing in this place. The donation I make at closing invests in the people growing up here, who will shape what this community looks like 20 years from now.
