PROFESSIONAL DESIGNATIONS

G.R.I. Graduate of the Real Estate Institute of Michigan. Proudly, I've enhanced my knowledge and experience in both Residential and Commercial Real Estate. Notably, fewer than 5% of all Realtors have earned this respected designation.

C.B.R. Certified Buyer Representative. This is a new specialty area in real estate which serves the special needs of buyers. Notably, fewer than 1% of all Realtors have earned this nationally recognized designation.

R.R.C. Referral and Relocation Certified. Cross-town or cross-country, I do more than move houses… I move families featuring trailing spouse, employment search and kids programs to fit the needs of every transferee.

AFFILIATIONS

As a member in good standing of NAR (The National Association of Realtors), MAR (The Michigan Association of Realtors) and TAAR (The Traverse Area Association of Realtors) and as a subscriber to the MLS (Multiple Listing Service), I remain strongly committed to the "Code of Ethics" of these honored professional organizations.

PROVEN TRACK RECORD

With 20+ years of marketing and customer service experience, I've closed over $50,000,000 in residential real estate sales. That's over 600 successful transactions. During my real estate career, fewer than 10 of my personal listings have ever failed to sell and close.

PROMPT, COURTEOUS, and PROFESSIONAL

My objective is not only your total satisfaction during this transaction, but also your referrals and future business. It all starts with a job well done! My Sellers receive timely updates on changing market conditions that could affect the “marketability” of their home. Buyers receive email updates on newly available and price-reduced properties as they become available.

FINANCIAL EXPERTISE

Very few agents possess the knowledge to accurately pre-qualify potential buyers. My experience allows me to help Sellers avoid unqualified prospects while helping Buyers select the price range, mortgage lenders, and loan products that will best meet their needs.

EDUCATION

Glen Lake High School, Maple City, Michigan.

Graduate 1971. Field of study included college preparatory coursework

Northwestern Michigan College, Traverse City, Michigan

REFERRAL / RELOCATION - Attention Real Estate Professionals

If you're a Realtor or Executive Relocation Company, my goal is to make the entire referral and relocation process a pleasant, stress free event for both you and your Client. I specialize in moving entire families, not just furniture, and offer a wide range of special services including employment, trailing spouse, and children's support. With over 18 years experience, I know what you're looking for when making a referral. Let me assure you, prompt, courteous, and highly professional service is my trademark and my mission is to provide absolute "world class" service in every transaction.
