About Me
As a real estate agent since 2003 and a resident of the Kalamazoo area for over 30 years I’m very familiar with the local market and what the area has to offer. A graduate of Western Michigan University I’ve worked as a mechanical engineer for many years prior to coming to Jaqua. Since joining Jaqua I’ve earned my Associate Brokers License (GRI) which requires a minimum of three years experience in real estate, 90 hours of class room instruction, as well as, taking and passing the state brokers licensing exam. I pride myself as an honest and straight forward individual with people and problem solving skills. My number one goal is to service all the real estate needs of my clients.

Market Report
Things are not as bad here in Southwest Michigan as the national media makes them out to be. As reported in the Kalamazoo Gazette last week housing sales in the greater Kalamazoo area increased for the month of November 1.1%. This is partly due to lower interest rates and movement in the forclosure market. 2009 looks like a challenging year but so was 08. What to do if your thinking of buying; shop around as good deals will be coming on the market that may need a little TLC but if your handy equity will be your reward. If your thinking of selling, keep these points in mind:
- Get accurate market information from a licensed REALTOR.
- Don’t test the market with a high list price as you’ll most likely be disappointed in the outcome.
- Price your house competitively and it will sell.
- Be patient, buyers are shopping for the best deal and if you’re not in the top 10% of your market, I repeat, you’ll need to be patient.
