Rick's Pros - SOUTH DAKOTA

Brookings, South Dakota (surrounding area)
Why do so many people choose to buy their first home in Brookings, South Dakota? Perhaps because Brookings homes offer large yards and spacious family homes at an affordable rate, in quiet, safe neighborhoods. Or maybe new families are drawn to the thriving college town with shopping, education, and entertainment just a short drive from their door. But really, what makes the Brookings real estate market so attractive is the way it strikes the balance between the comfort and security of a small town and the energy and convenience of a city.

Here's a little bit about me. I started working full time in real estate in 2009 and won the Century 21 Quality Service Award every year since 2010. I received the Century 21 Quality Service Pinnacle and Ruby Award in 2013 and 2014 and the East Central Board of Realtors 2012 Rising Star Award. Graduated from the Leadership Academy in 2013 and was the 2014 East Central Board of Realtors Realtor of the Year. And the 2015 South Dakota State Soccer Association Volunteer Of The Year. I've held positions on the South Dakota Association of Realtors at the state level and am involved with many community fundraising events. They include "Gas Out Cancer", "Icing Out Cancer"' and "Freeze Out Cancer" in association with the local Relay For Life group. I also founded a High School Soccer Scholarship for Brookings High School and coordinate the annual Ring The Bell with the Salvation Army & our local Realtors®.
