I permanently moved to Barton City, Michigan in Alcona County when I retired a little over two years ago. Being too ornery to stay fully retired, I started my own freelance graphics company called Key Solutions. It didn't take me long to add photography to the mix. After careful scrutiny, I joined Real Tour Vision becoming a full service provider creating 360° virtual tours for real estate agents and businesses in the area.

Joyce Hook, broker/owner of AnJ State Wide Real Estate in Harrisville, Michigan, encouraged me to become a re-licensed sales associate and to work out of her office. Now, when you don't find me listing or selling properties, or creating graphic projects, you will no doubt find me somewhere in the area with my tripod and camera, shooting those 360° virtual tours that help people make qualified decisions about buying homes.

• Being both a real estate agent and a 360° Virtual Tour Provider, I have a keen understanding of the market so....I keep my fees as low as I reasonably can.     
  
• Keeping the high cost of travel in mind, Key Solutions creates professional 360° virtual tours in more than 3 counties including Alcona, Iosco, and Alpena Counties covering towns like Oscoda, Tawas, Greenbush, Lincoln, Harrisville, Barton City, and Hillman to name a few. This is "God's Country" but you have to understand that "God's Country" means traveling a great distance in between shoots for the photographer as well as between homes and properties for the prospective buyer. Posted, professional 360° virtual tours offer a nice alternative to that travel. After all, surfing the net from the comfort of ones home doesn't cost upwards of $3.35 per gallon of gas!
  
• I maintain old fashioned ethics in my work and in my associations holding myself to the highest standards of excellence and professionalism while utilizing the most modern and up-to-date equipment and software thanks to Real Tour Vision. It is a very rewarding union between the older, (me), and the very new. Real Tourvision, RTV, partners with the best of the best, enabling me to offer solutions to nearly every marketing problem.
  
• Of course, due to my last job as a graphic artist for a programming department of the Archdiocese of Detroit, designing flyers and brochures are my strengths and specialties so if a business or real estate agent requires graphic services of any kind, I will be able to help them.

AnJ State Wide enjoyed one of their best sales years last year and it is continuing into 2008--during a time when the housing market is facing catastrophic havoc. I would like to think that my virtual tour business has and is playing some part in that success.
