Welcome! and thank you for the opportunity to introduce myself to you. I have been in real estate seven 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 Realtor's Land Institute. I am just in the beginning stages of attaining a "Certified Commercial Investment Member" CCIM designation. This is the most coveted and respected designation in commercial real estate and takes serious commitment to earn. Why bother? Because with each designation comes several hours of study and classtime where I continue to learn from others and I believe you never "know it all". There is always something to learn every day. 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 milk 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 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 of a home, I will put the time into the effort to make sure you are happy with the results.
