About Takashi

About me My family and I have lived and worked in Baltimore for more than 20 years. My wife and I have raised our three phenomenal daughters in Baltimore County. We have been blessed by our Grace Fellowship Church and its people over 20 years. That’s a long time to stay in a single church and a single place. I know my town and the surrounding areas well. One of my goals while we work together is to help you become more familiar with different aspects of the areas of Baltimore so that you can make the best possible decisions for yourself. Think of me as your personal housing tour guide.
