I entered the Real Estate industry in 2002 and have enjoyed it very much!  Prior to that, I worked for a large manufacturing company in Central IL.  While there, I held a variety of positions in manufacturing, planning and logistics.  My most interesting assignment was a post that took me (and my family) to the country of Brazil for 4 years.  This was a wonderful experience and we enjoyed it very much!  It was great to experience another culture and learn another language (Portuguese).  

Since entering the world of Real Estate, I have sold hundreds of homes, both on the buyer side and the seller side.  I have worked with buyers and sellers of all different ages, backgrounds, price ranges and areas.  I have enjoyed it all, but I think that the most satisfying for me is working with first time home buyers. There is something special about handing an excited buyer(s) the keys to their first home!  I have given a number of First Time Home Buyer Seminars, and that gave me the inspiration to write my book, "The House Hunt - A Guide to Buying Your First House."

One of the things that has changed significantly in the field of Real Estate is the use of technology.  This is one of the reasons that I decided to join Realty Executives Acclaimed.  They are proven leaders in the application of technology in Real Estate, and I am always striving to be at the cutting edge for my clients.

As an agent who's an expert in the Peoria/Tri-County area, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise about buying and selling real estate here. It's not the same everywhere, so you need someone you can trust for up-to-date information. I am eager to serve you. Here are some of the things I can do for you:

Find Your Next Home
You need someone who knows this area inside and out! I can work with you to find the right home at the right price for you, including all the neighborhood amenities that matter - not to mention the essential criteria you have for your ideal home

Sell a Home
When it's time to move, you need someone who will advertise your home, show to prospective buyers, negotiate the purchase contract, arrange financing, oversee the inspections, handle all necessary paperwork and supervise the closing. I can take care of everything you need, from start to close.

Consult on Home Selling Tactics
Oftentimes buyers don't visualize living in your home the way you do. I can make your home attractive to its ideal audience - which can help you get top dollar. Things like staging the home, making repairs or minor improvements, or even simply painting the walls can be the difference between a home resting on the market and one that's sold fast.
