Our Story

Real estate built on trust

We believe every move is personal. From bringing a newborn home to hosting birthdays in a new kitchen, real estate is tied to the moments that shape a family’s future.

That is why our team leads with honesty, timing, and steady guidance. We help clients make confident decisions with a relationship-first approach that keeps their goals, pace, and peace of mind at the center of every conversation.

I have 27 years of sales and customer service experience, 9 of those years specifically in real estate. I have closed nearly 400 homes and am honored to consistently be the #1 agent in the area and voted for the last 5 years one of Grundy Counties Favorite Realtors. I pray about the people that God places in our path and I know it’s for a reason-I do not take that lightly. I know that these are not just the largest financial decisions we make in our lifetime, but they are emotional ones too. What will always be most important to me is everything that is important to you. I feel blessed to work with each and every one of our clients who by the end I also consider my friends.

When he’s not working or studying, Owen enjoys golfing, volleyball, pickleball and spending time with friends and family.

My love for real estate started in high school after a guidance counselor encouraged me to explore the industry and I’ve been following that calling ever since.

I truly believe God places people in our lives for a reason, and I never take that responsibility lightly. Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll ever make, but it’s also one of the most personal. That’s why my focus is never just on the transaction—it’s on you, your family, your goals, and what matters most. Helping people through these milestones is a privilege, and one of my favorite parts of this career is that so many clients become lifelong friends.
