Get to Know Bill
Born in a small suburb of Buffalo, NY, Bill grew up with old-world values where he was raised by his grandparents and as much time as his single Mom could devote, while she pursued HER career in Real Estate.
Yes, Bill is a second-generation Realtor. Bill began his career as a Certified Financial Planner with American Express Financial Advisors and took early retirement as a Field Vice President right here in Southwest Florida in December of 2000. During his 16 years with American Express, Bill was coached by some of the most notable business experts in the country, while he assisted in the development of hundreds of Financial Advisors’ practices, which develop independent businesses, just as Realtors do.
Bill exited semi-retirement in 2010, obtained his real estate license, and set out to position himself as a trainer and coach for Realtors that wanted to grow their businesses. Before you knew it, he was asked to lead and grow one of the larger brokerages in the area and has since joined Miloff Aubuchon Realty Group, the largest independent Real Estate Brokerage in its area, and Aubuchon Homes, one of the most respected Custom home builders for the last 29 years, as Director – Sales & Business Development, where he also serves a select group of clients, helping them accomplish their real estate goals.
