My grandfather came from Holland with his parents. They homesteaded and he has lived in the same valley since. Three generations of my family run Angus cattle ranches. This is my home and I want other people to enjoy what we have as a lifestyle!
My ability to give you genuine, straightforward & personal service will quickly gain your confidence and I am committed to your goals. I am energetic, hard-working and positive. Real estate is becoming more sophisticated and challenging every day. Technology has taken real estate to a new level and I utilize it to your advantage. In today's fast-paced world, I still give the personal attention to detail and genuine caring attitude that is often missing. My practice is to listen, hear and truly understand your needs; a quality of business conduct that often seems to have been forgotten in today's fast paced, highly automated society. I have over 7 years of experience in real estate and was previously in the financing industry. I pride myself on knowing the local market, whether it is properties that are listed or For Sale By Owner. I strive to listen & learn to what you, my client, is looking for in a consultant.
· In 2007, I was in the top 7%, being ranked #50 out of 800 agents in Gallatin County
· In 2007, I closed 50 transactions, averaging to be over 4 closing a month
· 60% of those closings I represented Buyers and 40% Sellers. Knowing how important it is to a Seller that your Realtor knows a lot of Buyers, my web presence and marketing attracts a lot of potential business.
· Total sales in 2007 equaled $10 Million in closed volume.
· The average Keller Williams agent is getting 97.9% of list price while the average Gallatin Valley agent gets 95% of list price. In 2005, my average was 98.7% of list price.
I have represented builders on build-to-suit projects. I am developing a minor commercial subdivision and have general contracted my personal homes.
As you will soon see, I am an energetic and pro-active real estate consultant. You will be represented by an agent and organization that is second to none.
