About Me

Advocacy. Discretion. Results.

Let’s get one thing straight: I don’t sell houses, I fight for Buyers purchasing a home. For over 35 years, I’ve been the guy you want in your corner when the stakes are high, the Sellers are smug, and you refuse to overpay.

I grew up working in a family real estate business in upstate New York, which means I was learning about deals, trust, and loyalty while other kids were learning how to parallel park. I sharpened my skills in Rhode Island while studying finance at Providence College, then made the best move of my life—Fort Lauderdale. The Sunshine, the lifestyle, no income tax… what’s not to love? That’s where I launched Luxury Home Consultants, one of Florida’s first and only brokerages to represent Buyers exclusively. Why? Because compromise is a tool, not a default—you collaborate when it gains you leverage, and you avoid it altogether when your Buyer holds the upper hand 

My track record? 2,200+ Buyer transactions. Over $2.5 billion in sales. Clients who include Fortune 500 execs, athletes, celebrities, and entrepreneurs. They trust me because I call it like it is—no fluff, no sugarcoating, and zero conflicts of interest. I don’t list properties, so I never have to “switch hats” mid-deal to act “transactionally” (which, in my opinion, is just Dual Agency in a cheap disguise). An agent can’t serve two sides. My loyalty is 100% yours—without exception.

I also hold designations as an Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR®) and a Master Certified Negotiation Expert (MCNE®). Translation: I know how to read a market, outmaneuver the other side, and—frankly—I hate to lose. Ask around and you’ll hear the stories. One Seller once told me I “outmaneuvered his agent at every turn” and then asked me to represent him for his upcoming purchase. That’s not an insult in my book—that’s a standing ovation.

When I’m not negotiating deals, you’ll probably find me on the water or around airplanes. I have a passion for aviation, boating, and I’ve proudly served for over two decades in the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary. It’s all part of the lifestyle that drew me—and my clients—to South Florida in the first place.

For many of my clients—executives, athletes, celebrities—privacy isn’t optional, it’s essential. Discretion and sometimes complete anonymity are part of the job, and I take that responsibility as seriously as the negotiation itself.

And here’s the bottom line: I go beyond helping you buy a property—I protect your money, your time, and your peace of mind like it’s my own. I make sure you walk away with the deal you deserve, the satisfaction that your purchase goals were fully achieved, and the story of how your broker outworked, outsmarted, and out-negotiated everyone else in the room. Because at the end of the day, I’m not in this business to play nice. I’m in it to make damn sure you win.

Bill recently represented us in a new home purchase. The builder--not a small company--turned out to be very careless and a bit unscrupulous. Bill was steadfast in his support and dedication in getting the builder to capitulate to what was contractually promised and did so even after the Closing. We could not have done this without him. He is a seasoned pro that is relentless in representing his Clients. Thanks for everything Bill!

He helped me sell my previous home and guided me through the purchase of my new one with such ease and expertise. Bill has a real gift for setting the right place- it was clear he understood the market inside and out. He brought immense value to both sides of each transaction, creating a win-win environment that made the entire process enjoyable and seamless. His professionalism, insight, and commitment made all the difference, and I couldn´t be happier with the results. If you´re looking for a realtor who genuinely has your best interests at heart, Bill is the one to trust!

Bill is an expert in the Fort Lauderdale market, which is one of the main reasons why we´ve now used him to buy our last 3 houses here. Not only does he have great knowledge of the local market, but he also has a strong grasp of all real estate processes. I would highly recommend using Bill if you are looking for a very competent and knowledgeable buyer broker in the South Florida market. In an industry where most realtors lack knowledge or experience, Bill is a breath of fresh air.

That should say it all. He brings a level of Knowledge and intensity to the profession that is rarely, if ever, found. His high level of integrity and excellent communication have been steadfast over his 25+ year career. My wife and I can always count on him to represent our interests before any others. Thanks for everything, Bill!

I utilized Bill's expert advice in recently selling an income property. I conducted a lot of research before choosing a realtor to act on my behalf. Upon meeting Bill, I was immediately impressed with his knowledge of the South Florida real estate market. He made me feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process. I was able to sell at a higher price than I had originally anticipated and I am currently using Bill's expertise in my new home search, I feel confident that anyone who meets Bill will be equally happy with their experience.

Not only is his "buyers exclusively" business model hardly ever seen, but his professionalism and dedication are over the top. Bill never stopped fighting for me to achieve the price and terms I wanted and needed when purchased my home. He is brilliant at his job and he is relentless in getting the very best for his clients. His constant communication and updates put me at ease throughout the buying process. Without question I would recomment his services for any buyer looking for an experience luxury estate agent in the Boca Raton/South Florida market.
