Personal:

I have been a life long resident of Orlando, FL. where I grew up on Lake Conway. I attended Conway Elementary, Cherokee Junior High, Boone High School and Florida State University.

In 1965, I married my high school sweetheart, Cheryl Pulsifer. We have three children and six grandchildren. My wife and I are active members of Aloma Church.

Hobbies: (Check out 'Get to know Joe')

Golf - I am not that good, but I do have a lot of fun with it.

Fishing - I enjoy being on the water and the relaxation it brings. I practice catch and release.

Hunting - There is nothing like walking the fields for pheasant or quail early in the morning following the dogs.

Traveling - My wife and I enjoy traveling to historic places and learning about our great nations' success, trials and tribulations.

Client Commitment:

I listen to what my Client is saying and respond. Sometimes it is not what the Client wants’ to hear; but, it is what they need to hear and it is the truth. I will always look out for the interest of my Client. The Real Estate Market is ever changing. I will do my best to stay on top of it and keep my Client informed. I am here to serve the serious Buyer or Seller. If you are looking for a Realtor® who has the wisdom of age, 20+ years of Real Estate transactions, loyalty and a wide range of knowledge, call me. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
