My Client-First Philosophy
First and Foremost- To do my very best to help anyone with their Real Estate needs in Southern IL and on the island of ST. Croix, USVI.
There 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 real estate professional and now, currently holding a license in the USVI also, 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.
A Little About Me
I grew up in Monroe County, Illinois, part of a large farm family where hard work as a virtue was an understatement! We were expected to work hard and we did. On the educational side, my mother was a school teacher, so you'd better believe homework was done at the end of chores. I graduated from Gibault Catholic High School and attended college, receiving a degree in Organizational Leadership and Marketing from SIU-C.
I earned my Realtor License in 1994 and began my Real Estate career. It has been a successful one. I have received the Platinum Quality Service Award for 100% client satisfaction three years in a row, was awarded the Quality Sevice Certification, have achieved Diamond Status for the Premier Service Award. I hold the prestigious GRI designation from the National Association of Realtors. I served on the Board of Directors of the Realtor Assn. of Southwestern Illinois and serviced as President of RASI in 2013.
Hard work, scholastics, and experience make for a busy life. One of my favorite quotes is "To whom much is given, much is expected."I look at my talents as gifts that the good Lord expects me to share. I am a member of St. Augustine's Church in Hecker, Illinois; haved served on Sparta Area Habitat for Humanity, worked on 6+ builds across the state and a few nationally. 2003-07 Chairperson for the Untied Mitochondrial Foundation 5K Walk/Run, and have chaired fundraising events for Down's Syndrome, Multiple Sclerosis, Breast Cancer and many more.
in 2015, I was invited to St. Croix, USVI. I saw a need for a good hard-working Realtor to help others move to the Island. I joined Island Life Realty as a sales broker and continue to work in Southern IL and in the USVI with the use of technology. I am supported by my Realtor partners in both St. Croix and Southwestern IL and have been successfully helping ours for years.
My passion is to help people find their new home! Be it that you need to sell your existing home first or are a new home buyer looking for the that first great property, please use my expertise to find the right property for your needs!!! It works Globally:).
God Bless,
