My Family

I have lived in Berks County for over 30 years with my wife Andrea.  We raised our two children Jennifer and Brad in Maidencreek Township where they graduated from Fleetwood.  Andrea and I are proud grandparents of Addison and Ella who live in the Central PA region.  We like to ride the rails to trails, spend time on the lake, call and work in the kitchen at our church’s bingo and travel.  Finally, we would be lost without our dog, Maggie.

Where and When it Began

Let’s go back to the 1980s when I was first in real estate.  The interest rates were 16%-19% and as Realtors® we were able to serve our clients with creative financing.  Unfortunately, due to back surgery I had to redirect my career path and it took me into the proprietary post-secondary education sector as a teacher and eventually as an owner of a career college for nearly 25 years and an award-winning custom home builder. My direct interaction with students and their families for the purpose of helping them achieve their goals and dreams through education shaped me for today’s market of real estate.  My ability to listen to people’s wants, needs and boy I wish I had that and translate that into an action plan through a course of conversations about their current situation, financial and otherwise and motivators is what excels my clients forward.  I enjoy working with first time buyers because I am entrusted to provide them with the education needed to be successful homeowners even in a seller’s market.

Education and Certifications

I earned degrees and diplomas in business, electronics, computer programming and as an adult a bachelor’s from Albright College in Applied Psychology.  In real estate I earned certification as an Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR), Real Estate Negotiating Expert (RENE) and Seller Representative Specialist (SRS), all of which help me serve my clients with the highest standards and success. I am also Certified as a Cash 2 Keys Agent.  In 2022 I took my education to the next level and completed my Broker education requirements and earned my Associate Brokers license. These Broker classes gave me the opportunity to gain more depth and breathe in real estate law, investment properties, finance, managing a real estate office, my certifications that help both my buyer and seller clients, and property management.  Aside from serving my clients I serve my colleagues in our office as Sales Manager.

Community Service and Associations

I have been involved with Optimist International on a local level since the late 1990s and most recently I am a current member and past president of the Optimist Club of Kutztown. I have served in some capacity or another on over 7 associations including the Home Builders Association of Berks and currently I serve as a board member and president elect of the Reading Berks Association of Realtors (RBAR) and a Director with the Pennsylvania Association of Realtors (PAR)

Productivity, Awards and Recognition

This section is not about me, it is about those who have entrusted me to help them with their real estate needs.  I have assisted buyers, first time buyers, sellers and investors achieve their goals and dreams thought real estate.  I thank them and consider them family.  My belief is to put my clients first and if the awards come that is recognition for my clients because they made them possible for me. I have been presented with the Ambassador Club and Presidents Club for my yearly production from Weichert Realtors, Top 15% of agents in Berks County by List Reports, Several Home Snap awards for client’s satisfaction and production, Top Producer for the year from our local office and Top Lister and Top Sales Producer month over month for the past several years. Comments from my clients like the following is the best recognition “We wish you a wonderful Christmas and prosperous New Year to you and your family. We consider ourselves blessed to count you as one of our friends. Thanks, Beth & Rick S******”
