About Fred
Fred has been selling residential real estate in Center City for over twenty (20+) years following a long and distinguished career in international sales and marketing for high-tech firms. Fred admits that he finds guiding people through the buying or selling process much more rewarding. To Fred, real estate has never felt like a job. It is his lifestyle - he never gets tired of helping people find their place in the world.
There were many paths that led Fred into real estate. He comes from a family of real estate investors and he purchased his first investment property at the age of 25. Following years of real estate investing Fred found the transition into real estate sales seamless. Success soon followed again when Philadelphia Magazine named him a Five Star Real Estate Agent.
When Fred isn’t working you’ll find him enjoying the city’s many restaurants along with a variety of Philadelphia’s sports, art and artistic venues. Raising and training dogs has been a lifelong passion of Fred’s who finds that “it takes a lifetime of kindness and consistency to earn a dog’s trust.” Fred brings this philosophy to his work and enjoys the process of bringing clients into his life and transitioning them into friends.
While Fred has lived in many sections of the city, most of those years were in Society Hill where he enjoyed the historic neighborhood and Washington Square park. Giving back is important to Fred… he chaired the Washington Square Affair, raising over $200,000 for the maintenance, beautification and restoration of the park.
