Dave and Lisa Kerr are consistently among the top agents and realtor teams in the market (including ranking #1 in Glenview Office volume in 2006), in addition to owning successful development, construction and consulting businesses (Kerr Development Group, Inc. and Optimal Properties, LLC). The Kerrs believe in going above and beyond the already exceptional, industry-leading “Premier Service” that Koenig & Strey provides to their clients, developing and perfecting some of the most sophisticated and effective marketing, analysis and home sale techniques in the business, techniques that very few other agents in the market use. With Dave and Lisa Kerr, you get two uniquely experienced agents working for you instead of just one (and you always get both of them working for you --- The Kerrs don’t assign you to a less-experienced team member after you hire them).
As a result of all of these things, the Kerrs have consistently and significantly outperformed the market in both sales price (% of list price) and market time on their listings, year after year. Because what matters most is not your agent’s rankings and personal billing successes; what really matters are the results and successes they get for their clients. And with Dave and Lisa Kerr you get two of the most consistently effective agents in the marketplace, agents with an unmatched track record of getting uncommonly impressive results for their clients.
DAVE KERR’S BACKGROUND
Dave Kerr first started in real estate over 26 years ago, and in the ensuing years managed a sales region for a respected national homebuilder, sold high end resort properties in Florida and Michigan and managed the purchase, sale and operations of scores of residential apartment buildings for an Investment Management firm. Prior to establishing himself in real estate in Illinois, Mr. Kerr also spent a number of years in the media, marketing, research and internet businesses, including many years as either President/SVP/CEO or VP/General Manager/SM of 4 different radio stations (including legendary Chicago radio stations WLUP, WMVP and WLIT as well as WKQX in Detroit), a research and marketing firm, and a large internet portal. That unusually rich background and depth of expertise helped Dave and his wife, Lisa, develop their unique approach to marketing and brokering real estate, which in turn helped them to quickly establish one of the most successful real estate practices in the North Shore suburbs of Chicago. In addition to receiving the President’s Club Award and recognition as the top agents (#1 in sales volume) in their Glenview office in 2006, Dave was given the Norma Strey Koenig Award in 2005, which is voted on by his Glenview peers and awarded to the person who most represents the company’s ideals of ethics, honesty and teamwork.
As one of the Kerr’s clients said in a letter she wrote to her neighbors:
“I know how hard it is to find great Realtors, agents who have real knowledge and proven success at selling properties at a premium in a difficult market. It’s even harder to find successful agents who are honest, hard working and personally involved in every aspect of the process. But I was lucky, because someone told me about Dave and Lisa at the right moment, when I was looking for an unusually good agent to help me with an unusually difficult situation. And that’s what I am hoping I can do for you with this letter. Because if you are looking for an exceptional agent to help you buy or sell a home in this challenging market, I think you should know about the Kerrs. At minimum, give them a call and see what they have to say; I think it’s a safe bet that you will leave that meeting knowing something you didn’t know about the business, the market, or your home. “ Sue Whitfield, Glenview
