There are many self-proclaimed "land specialists" or "local experts" that may not have prior, relevant experience flooding the markets, being thorough on your research when choosing an agent is more important than ever. I always suggest checking around on previous sale transactions to make sure they are in fact even full-time agents and what their occupations were before they decided to get their real estate licenses, how long they have had their licenses, and who was training them as a licensee. Would you go to a CNA for heart surgery? Even choosing the right professional for your specific type of property is also very important, whether it is a home, acreage, new construction, land, recreational property, or commercial. Anyone could get a driver's license; doesn't mean they are ready to drive a semi or a race car. Buying or selling real estate is one of the biggest decisions in most people's lives, be sure to choose the right agent.
Previous experience includes a variety real estate related occupations in construction, heavy equipment operation, arboriculture industry, helping out on farming jobs. Being raised in Allamakee County, "Iowa's playground" hobbies have including hunting, fishing, canoeing, hiking, camping, motorcycle riding, and almost everything this beautiful area has to offer. Having grown up in the real estate business, John knows the importance of being available for Buyers and Sellers at their convenience. He takes great pride in higher standards of professionalism and knowledge. Real Estate is not just our business, it's our way of life!
