Bio
A magna cum laude graduate of the University of North Carolina- Greensboro with a bachelor of science in accounting, Claude has worked in the financial realm of several business sectors. After earning his CPA license, he began his career in the real estate tax division of Arthur Andersen, and has been involved in numerous aspects of real estate and development ever since. After taking a year off to sail the Bahamas following an illness, he and his wife followed their passion to the coast, choosing to reside near Wrightsville Beach, NC. "Integrity is of utmost importance to me personally and professionally. It is the foundation of one's character and a value I refuse to compromise," he says. "Upon first meeting David Swain, I sensed a man of integrity and he has built a company that exemplifies that value. As such, joining Swain & Associates was one of the easiest decisions I have ever made. The team approach employed at Swain ensures our clients and tenants receive the best of professional services available." Claude is very involved in the real estate development process, including site selection and acquisition, financial and feasibility analysis, as well as contract and lease negotiations. Claude and his wife, Odette, have living in Wilmington since 1992 and have one daughter, Maggie. Outside of work, Claude is active in many community and church organizations and enjoys golf, boating, surfing, and spending time with his family.
