Diverse real estate experience.

More than 2 million people in the U.S. have earned a real estate license after only completing several weeks of coursework and a short exam. However, because real estate is a tough, demanding and dynamic business that perpetually changes, there is a steep dropout rate in the field of real estate. Plenty of other real estate agents hold down full-time jobs and concentrate on real estate “on the side.”

Not me. I am a full-time Realtor and Broker-Owner of Realty Executives of Wausau with a depth of construction and design experience that benefits my real estate clients. And I am 100 percent dedicated to actively helping those buying or selling a home.
