<--Just a clump of kitties!

 

I have been in real estate sales since November of 2005 and so far have over $10 million in sales.

I love pets, mostly cats and dogs, and live in East Peoria , with a lovely home overlooking the river and city. The 4th of July is always fun! I love my real estate career and have a great time meeting new people and making friends with them.

 

I come from a fairly large family, of two sisters and 3 other brothers. Mom and Dad are still around and live in Germantown Hills , IL . Most all the rest of us are close by as well, with the exception of my two youngest brothers who live in Scottsdale , AZ.

 

Before I got into real estate, I was a piano rebuilder. I did this for 10 years, and loved it, but times have changed and I got older. Moving 500lb pianos all over the place got sort of old, and I had to decide on a career that would accomodate my getting older~~thus real estate. I think I have found my niche!

I figured, "if I can sell a piano fairly easily, and they are luxuries, I certainly think I could sell houses". My first year I sold almost $3.5 million, and have been going since.  I have maintained a top ranking among the real estate agents in the Peoria area market and I love it!

 

One reason I hold to be for my success is persistance. Even though at times the work is extremely challenging, I somehow manage to stick things out. I believe this is mainly due to my love and passion for this work. It is not always easy obtaining listings, nor is it easy to find the appropriate buyers for them, but persistance does seem to pay.
