 first came to Marco Island in 1986. After searching for his retirement paradise for over two years on Florida's East Coast, he finally discovered Marco Island when, like most of us, he drove over the Marco bridge. It was shortly after this trip that he eventually bought three direct access lots. Shortly there after, he built his first house in 1989, and became a licensed realtor in 1991 where he worked at Professional Realty of Marco, owned at the time by Bob Clausen. He's never looked back!
Having lived in a small beachfront community in N.Y. city called Rockaway Beach, Marco Island, for him, was a natural. He could never really 'get the sand out of his shoes'.
Jerry has a construction background (in new construction and renovation), and was also a superintendent for a large construction firm in N.Y. City.
He was also very successful in buying 'fixer uppers' then renovating and reselling them.
