I have specialized in representing luxury, equestrian and acreageproperties for both buyers and sellers for in excess of 20 years. I am licensed in both Illinois and Nevada and can assist you in both geographic locations. Prior to entering the real estate field I spent 30 years in IT consulting, holding a variety of positions from technical designand development to executive management. The last 13 years inthat field I owned and managed the growth and development of a nationwide consulting firm. After the sale of that firm, I enteredinto the Real Estate field and found a renewed passion forworking with and assisting clients with major purchases or thesale of personal or investment assets. Between the twoprofessional endeavors, I offer decades of marketing experienceusing multiple platforms and technologies, negotiating with and forthe benefit of clients and extensive real estate knowledge.On a personal basis, I live in a semi-rural area on a large acreageproperty and, since I rode horses, in multiple disciplines for manyyears, I bring an in-depth knowledge of both agricultural acreageand properties suitable for livestock and equestrian centers. Withrespect to equestrian properties, it is important to understandwhat a buyer would be looking for in a barn, riding arenas andpastures depending on their goals and riding disciplines. I amable assess the components of a property and market theproperty to attract the appropriate buyers.Additional personal interests include dogs and sculpting. I haveowned and engaged in showing large breed dogs, donated timeto a shelter facility, have a small kennel facility and I have represented multiple properties with kennel facilities. I attendedthe School of the Art Institute in Chicago and with that experience,I understand art studios and workshops.Major purchases or the sale of a large investment, perhaps aclient's largest asset, may be stressful and fraught with numerousissues. I attempt to make the process as stress free as possiblefor my clients by anticipating, guiding, negotiating and assisting,as appropriate.Finally, my most important message is that this is not simply myprofession; I gain enormous pleasure from assisting people insuccessfully reaching their goals. I look forward to working withyou.
