In the past tweleve years as a full-time, licensed Realtor I have worked with Keller Williams, Jacobsmeyer Realty, and, since 2009, my own firm – Graves Realty.  My experience with Keller Williams helped mold me into the Top Producer that I have become.   I was their Rookie of the Year in 2006; ranked in the Top 10 Agents in my office all three years while there;  achieved multi-million dollars in sales, Rising Star Awards, Excellence Awards, and served on the Agent Leadership Committee.  In 2008, I earned St. Louis Post-Dispatch’s Readers Choice Top Agent, and have been a ten time winner of St. Louis Magazine’s Best in Client Satisfaction Award.  Toward the latter part of 2009, I joined Jacobsmeyer Realty while they helped aid in my transition to owning my own brokerage.  However, none of those accolades are what sets me apart from the rest of the professionals in my industry.  As a graduate of the University of Missouri–Columbia and a lifelong resident of St. Louis, my knowledge of the local markets are much deeper than my professional achievements.  My true appreciation for St. Louis is evident in my active background in remodeling, home building, lending, gut rehabbing, and as a private real estate investor.  I have an intimate knowledge of what it takes to find the perfect home for my buyers and have an extensive professional marketing plan that I implement for each of my sellers to achieve top dollar in the quickest amount of time possible.  My strongest area of expertise lies with those clients expecting the highest standard of professionalism in their real estate transaction, allowing them to have the ultimate real estate experience.  My clients enjoy my commitment to communication, punctuality, professionalism, intimate insight to the evolving market, candid advice, strong negotiating skills, and true interest in each individual transaction.  I pride myself on the ability exceed your expectations!
