About Me

Welcome! and thank you for the opportunity to introduce myself to you.  

 
I have been in real estate eight years now and have a broker associate's license,  a Graduate of the Realtor's Institute designation
 
(GRI), have a Certified Buyer's Representative designation(CBR) , and my CRS - Certified Residential Specialist's designation, and
 
am a member of the Iowa CCIM, the Corridor Commercial Round Table. I am just in the stages of attaining a National "Certified
 
Commercial Investment Member" CCIM designation. 
 
  
 
My background?  I spent the previous twenty plus years in the construction supply industry.  My companies supplied commercial
 
and residential building projects with construction materials, tools and fasteners.  I am at home with a set of blue prints, scales,
 
etc.  I feel I know my construction pretty well and am just as good with steel studs as with wood. Twenty years working with the
 
public laid a good foundation for this part of my career.  Customer service was the priority then and is still the priority now. Before
 
my construction days our family farmed in northeast Iowa, and yes, I have milked cows, sorted sows, made hay and herded cats! 
 
Been there and have the t-shirt.  All jokes aside, I wouldn't have traded that family time for anything.  My sons learned early what
 
it was to earn a dollar and just how hard it came.  I am proud to say my three sons all worked their way through college holding
 
full time jobs and still graduated on time, and one in three and a half years.    
 
 
 
I average 36-42 deals a year and would appreciate the opportunity to work with you on your project ---be it a commercial lease, a
 
land or lot purchase, a warehouse sale, a retail investment, a 1031 exchange, or the purchase/sale of your home. I will put in the
 
time and effort to make sure you are happy with the results.
