Business Philosophy

My objective has always been to exceed the expectations of our family of agents. Having the most reputable and powerful name in real estate behind me, and utilizing my experience as a full-time agent since 1984, I can provide our agents every possible advantage in helping them achieve their real estate goals. Their success is my singular focus as a full time, non-competing Manager.

Our agents are highly productive, driven, and motivated. They recognize that Coldwell Banker provides them the best opportunity to grow their personal real estate practice, while being of value to their clients. We have a tremendous collaborative environment and it is my great pleasure to be affiliated with the Coldwell Banker Princeton Junction office.

We measure our success through the satisfaction of our clients. Each client can expect the same level of knowledge, experience and professionalism during the Real Estate transaction. Our mission is to build long term relationships with our satisfied clientele since their referrals and recommendations are the foundation of our success.

If you are looking for a partner in building a successful and rewarding career in real estate, with Jonathan Keates and Coldwell Banker, you can become the agent you have always wanted to be! Call me today for a confidential interview.
