Education, Experience & Knowledge You Can Put to Work |
Real estate has been both my education and my career. I earned a four-year Bachelor of Business Administration degree from the University of Wisconsin–Madison Wisconsin School of Business, double majoring in Real Estate and Marketing, and I have spent the past 27 years working full-time as an independent real estate agent. That combination provides my clients with something I believe is particularly valuable: the formal education to understand real estate at a deeper level, decades of practical experience applying that knowledge, and the construction background to understand the properties themselves. My real estate education included specialized coursework in appraisal, development, valuation, marketing and market research. Rather than entering real estate after pursuing an unrelated career, I chose real estate as my profession from the beginning and built my education specifically around it. Since becoming licensed in 1999, I have represented buyers and sellers as a full-time independent agent. I am not part of a team, and my experience was not gained working as an assistant to another agent. My clients work directly with me, benefiting from the knowledge and judgment developed through nearly three decades of personally handling real estate transactions. My experience also extends far beyond the transaction itself. I grew up in a family homebuilding business and have spent decades actively involved with Johnny B Home Construction. From an early age, I was exposed to how homes are actually built, and over the years my role has grown to include designing and modifying floor plans, estimating construction costs, assisting with specifications and selections, working with building sites, and marketing and selling new construction homes. That construction experience gives me a perspective that is invaluable in real estate. I understand homes from the foundation up— how they're built, what features cost, and what buyers value. My work includes existing homes, new construction, vacant land, land development, investment properties and commercial real estate. That breadth of experience allows me to look at real estate from multiple perspectives and recognize issues and opportunities that may not be obvious at first glance. My goal is to be a knowledgeable resource you can rely on before, during and long after the sale—and your real estate advisor for life.
