Real Estate Spotlight

When choosing a Realtor® to help sell your home or property or buy your next home, there are bound to be
questions. Let me answer a couple you might have. Yes, I'm a licensed Realtor and part of the Greater Gateway Association. I broker for Coldwell Banker Brown
in Edwardsville, Illinois; My territory covers the Illinois side of Greater St. Louis; and I believe, I can help serve you with your real estate needs.
Professional Background
My career started with a couple degrees from SIUE and has kept me in the area since. Although my studies were
focused on mathematics and computer science, I also picked up a minor in business. The link between traditional business
and technology lead to eight years working for one of the most exciting 3D graphic companies in the world,
Silicon Graphics.
In the mid '90s the Internet was part of our everyday life in the tech business, and was ready for the masses.
So, in 1995, I started a company called "Wildfire" http://www.wildfire.net.
Ask me about the details someday, but the websites Wildfire developed kept leading back to the local Real Estate
markets. Namely, the sites like the one you are viewing right now and 20+ others.
When I researched adding Real Estate to my technology portfolio, it was true, "No one sells more Real Estate than RE/MAX". Today, with more people
searching the Internet from iPhones, Droids, Blackberrys, iPads and anything else with a browser, I think you'll see how this site can benefit buyers and sellers.
The big question
Why let me represent you? Glad you asked ...
16+ Years Full-Time Internet Experience
It's a proven fact that buyers are moving to the Internet to find their next home. As president
of Wildfire Internet, I put over 16 years of Internet marketing experience to work for you.
A Clear Advantage - Extra Eyes on your Listing
Besides the sites any agent can place your listing on, you'll have the clear advantage of
being listed on my CityPage network which includes the pure city domains, collinsville.com,
edwardsville.com, glencarbon.com, granitecity.com, pontoonbeach.com. You'll also be included
on alton.net, ofallon.net, maryvilleillinois.com and over 15 other supporting sites.
So, why does this matter?
Because the CityPage network brings over 15,000 unique visitors each
month and you'll be featured on the home page of all those sites! In many
cases, the first site an outside buyer finds is the named city site.
There are literally thousands of homes in the area MLS, but your listing
is presented on the home pages and key pages of the first site buyers may visit.
