Ethical Homes

Prior to getting into real estate, I spent many years working as a technology consultant, and actually got my start in IT by creating some of the first secure global intranets on the web. Every instinct in me, then, wants me to spend loads of time enhancing this site with every whiz-bang piece of technological wizardry out there, and twice that much time tweaking the layout so that every last pixel is in the right place.

One lesson I learned during my years in IT, however, was that it was very easy for a talented programmer to overengineer a solution, spending hours building something that nobody had ever really asked for. When I left the world of IT to work in real estate full time, then, I made a conscious decision to NOT overengineer this site, and instead put up something very basic, and wait for my customers and clients to request features before adding them.

Not unsurprisingly, I’ve received almost no requests for a prettier site; many of my customers, in fact, have appreciated the simplicity of the site and the resulting speed with which it loads. Instead, at my clients’ request, I have spent the majority of my time improving the site in ways that allow them to gather information, make decisions, and take action more easily.

Sometimes this means that I put in placeholders for future features or information; if you find one of these and wish that it were more than just a placeholder, just let me know, and I’ll try to get something up as soon as possible. (Similarly, if there’s some other tool or functionality that you want to see on the site, or even if you do happen to wish that the site were a little prettier (I do know that it currently looks very ugly when viewed with certain web browsers, for example), please drop me a note and I’ll see what I can do.)
