My Client-First PhilosophyThere are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent real estate professional - integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how I work.That said, in my experience as a Southern Illinois estate professional for over 33 years, before that I held an Iowa Real Estate license. I have the knowledge and the experience. I KNOW THE AREA!! I've also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting my clients first. This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs.This "client first" philosophy has always been my approach and it requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. In addition, I've found that the latest technologies are enabling me to do everything I've always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. They've also helped me to extend the range of services I provide to my clients.As a Native I could be considered a local area expert with knowledge of the communities, my objective is to work diligently to assist you in meeting your real estate needs.So when you decide that you'd like to buy or sell a home in the Carbondale, Carterville, Herrin, Marion, Energy, Anna, Alto Pass, Cobden, Murphysboro, Ava, Jackson County, Union County, Williamson County areas, please contact me.
