Growing up in rural Iowa, I learned a few life lessons that have served me well. First, treat everyone fairly, honestly and with respect. Second, don’t be afraid of hard work and strive to be the best you can at whatever you do. Finally, our real purpose in life is to use our unique talents to help other people. These simple life rules have served me well in both my business and personal life and are the foundation of Flanagan Realty.
I love the real estate business and I especially love land. More importantly, I enjoy using my skills, knowledge and experience with land to help other people accomplish their goals. So, whether you’re buying, selling or just have a question, I am here to do whatever I can to assist you.
