Real. Reliable. Real Estate.
I was raised in Central Illinois and have lived in the area since learning to crawl, which has allowed me a broad perspective of the various cities and villages this community has to offer.
I am the reliable, professional, detail-oriented individual you need on your team when purchasing or selling real estate.
I have a very diverse range of life experiences, making me the perfect Realtor to help assist you in buying and/or selling your home. Aside from my vast real estate knowledge, I have many years experience as a marketing professional and was an active part of the corporate legal world for over thirteen years. I graduated Magna Cum Laude and top of my class from University of Illinois in 2007, majoring in Business Management.
I obtained my Real Estate Broker's license in 2014 and received my Managing Broker's license in 2017. In addition to helping my own clients buy and sell real estate, I am the Designated Managing Broker for my brokerage's Peoria office of approximately 80 agents, part of it's core management team and an Illinois Pre-License and Continuing Education Instructor. I teach various real estate courses for my brokerage, the Peoria Area Assocation of Realtors and Illinois Realtors Licensing and Training Center, Jim Maloof Branch.
