Retired US Coast Guard (14 years active duty), MBA, and licensed California real estate agent — helping military families buy homes in San Diego since 2008.
Jeffrey is retired from the United States Coast Guard after 14 years of active duty (YN2). His service included assignments that gave him direct experience with the logistics, paperwork, and financial realities of military life — the same realities his clients navigate every day when they PCS to San Diego.
Honorably discharged, he took what he learned about systems, logistics, and moving people under time pressure and applied it to real estate. Not a career switch so much as a continuation of the same basic job: help people navigate a complicated move.
After his service, Jeffrey earned a Master of Business Administration (MBA) with a focus on strategic negotiation and financial analysis. The MBA isn't a credential he wears on his sleeve — it's the framework he uses to structure offers, analyze comps, and negotiate terms that win in competitive San Diego submarkets. Every VA purchase he closes is informed by the same analytical discipline he learned in graduate school.
Jeffrey is a licensed California real estate agent with 18 years of experience in the San Diego market. He holds California DRE license #01821172 and operates through Big Block Realty (DRE #02248983).
He specializes in:
He holds the Military Relocation Professional (MRP) certification from the National Association of Realtors — a credential specifically for agents working with military families.
There are plenty of real estate agents in San Diego. A smaller number specialize in VA loans. Even fewer have actually served. Jeffrey works with military families because the work matters — buying a home on PCS orders, with a family, in an unfamiliar market, is stressful in ways that civilian buyers don't experience. Having someone on your side who's lived that specific stress makes the transaction smoother and the outcome better.
He doesn't list mansions in La Jolla. He doesn't flip houses. He helps military families get into homes they'll build equity in — and he knows the job well enough that most of his business comes from referrals.
