Through their donations to RPAC, they help to elect officials with the best interestes of homeowners in mind and lobby for issues that directly impoact homeowners.
"Shellie Wilkes has been, for me, all that a realtor can be and even more, because Shellie went above and beyond what would be required or expected. Shellie spent her own tIme and money to “stage” my condo, which I had left empty when I moved from there,and she was still in my court trying to assist me the day we closed. She was always on top of whatever was happening and always kept me informed. Shellie Wilkes is one of the best, if not the best, sales person in the Central Illinois area, so of course I have recommended her, and will continue to recommend her, to all those I know. She is someone who loves what she does and she works diligently at it with that same love and concern for her clients. Everyone working with Shellie Wilkes is fortunate indeed. I could not recommend her more highly."

"Shellie Wilkes recently represented us in the purchase of our home. She was always eager and readily available to show us any home that we requested. She was patient and never pushed us. She ended up representing us in somewhat of a complicated purchase and I have no doubt that without her advocacy for us we would not be in this house that we love today! I would highly recommend Shellie to anyone!"
