I have earned the Certified Distressed Property Expert Designation (CDPE).
The Certified Distressed Property Expert Designation (CDPE) is an indication that a Realtor® has taken the initiative to become an educated and prepared advocate on the behalf of a homeowner in distress. Earned by completing detailed and thorough coursework via the Distressed Property Institute, real estate agents with the CDPE designation are armed with the necessary tools and information to help distressed property owners avoid foreclosure and continue their lives.
As a CDPE designated REALTOR®, I have committed myself to helping those who face foreclosures by working to find the right solution for their individual needs and seeing the issue resolved. Part of my CDPE designation coursework involved studying the process of short sales, once rarely accepted by lenders, but in today's world they are becoming an increasingly viable option. Although more common in recent years, lender's still want the right deal with the right paperwork, and most real estate agents without the CDPE designation do not know the specifics. The CDPE course has taught me how to submit the proper documents to a variety of lenders and negotiation skills, allowing for quick resolve to a short sale. A CDPE's education is continual, as CDPEs from across the county gather information to provide the Distressed Property Institute a continual flow of new information to share with other CDPE designated agents.

MY COMPANY STORY
Since 1976, I've operated my real estate company in St. Charles County where I am consistantly ranked in the top 1% of Realtors when it comes to homes sold.
I work differently than traditional Real Estate Companies, in that I am a Marketing Strategist.
Here are the keys to my success:
- Cutting edge programs that use the latest technology
- Innovative consumer programs
- Attention to detail, responsiveness, and reachability
Why Do Sellers Hire Me?
My goal is to net my clients the most money possible, by selling their home for the highest possible price within their time frame, with the least amount of stress and inconvenience.
PUT OVER 30 YEARS EXPERIENCE TO WORK FOR YOU!
You can be assured that if you employ me as your agent I will dedicate myself to getting your property SOLD, not to just putting it in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) computer system and hoping that someone else sells it.
My website is divided into separate areas to showcase the specific programs and services I have created for the benefit of my clients. Last month my website alone received over 23,000 hits. I will not only put your listing on my website, MLS, and Realtor.com but over 300 other sites.
I sell a home every 6.8 days.

As a local area expert with 30 years experience and knowledge of the communities, my objective
is to work diligently to assist you in meeting your real estate goals.

My Client-First Philosophy
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 O'fallon real estate professional, 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.
