Our real estate careers have been built on referrals from satisfied past customers and repeat business.

Our real estate careers began in Cedar Rapids, Iowa in 1969 when we bought our first home, (a little 20 X 40 ranch) just three years after we were married. Our real estate agent, Ray Kohl, was exceptional. Not only did he help us enjoy a seamless purchase experience, he later encouraged us to consider real estate as a profession. The rest, as they say, is history.

After working in sales and sales management in Iowa, we headed to Florida to expand our experience in real estate management, ownership, sales, relocation and more. Over the past 40 years, we have continued to rely on the values and work ethic that we received as children growing up on Iowa farmland. Helping people, doing the right thing and perseverance are all values that have translated into caring, honest, reliable assistance for our customers.

Our business continues to grow from the referrals and support of satisfied customers and others who are comfortable sharing our names with those they care about. Regardless of whether you’re a first time buyer who needs step-by step-assistance, or a seasoned seller whose only requirement may be our negotiating skills, our goal is to give you the information, assistance and professional counsel you need to make an informed decision.

Our mission is to help you achieve your real estate dreams – and have the best experience ever!

Here’s how we work!

First of all, we listen. The most important part of the process is learning about you! We want to learn about your family’s objectives and priorities, your lifestyle, your budget, your time frame and more. The marketing strategies, home searches and negotiating approaches that we use will be based on the candid information that you share with us.

Second: We draw upon our many years of relocation, management and sales experience to answer your questions, spell out the process and guide you toward your goal. Our experience has also prepared us to manage even the most difficult real estate transaction to a successful closing. We want you to have only “nice” surprises!

Third: We adhere to a philosophy that puts you, our customer, first. We care about you and about doing the job right. Honest, reliable service is our standard of practice – and the only way we conduct business. We know that only by helping you achieve your goals will we earn your heartfelt endorsement. We are happy to say that we measure our success by the friendships we make, not the houses we sell.
