From Portland to Nike to helping St. Louis families buy their first home.
I grew up in Portland, Oregon, and graduated from the University of Oregon. A job with Nike brought me to St. Louis, and I stayed. I earned an MBA and a Master's in Information Management from Washington University in St. Louis.
Before real estate, I built an IT consulting business and an income tax preparation practice. Those years taught me to explain money clearly, negotiate calmly and treat every client's finances with care. That's exactly what first-time buyers need.
Today I lead The Blu Group Real Estate, powered by Keller Williams Marquee, from our office in Edwardsville. I help buyers on both sides of the river, closing 40 to 50 homes a year, and I coach other agents in KW Marquee's coaching program. In 2023 I was recognized as the top individual agent at Keller Williams Marquee.
Gary is a great real estate agent. He is not only trustworthy, his financial expertise pays off. He is the best!
