About Cal

When you are making one of the largest investments of your life, you should know the professional background of whom you are dealing with. Cal has been in sales all his life and started his career with IBM as an Account Representative. He was with IBM for 11 years and learned everything He knows about sales and marketing from one of the greatest companies of their time. Cal always tells people that he got his MBA from IBM and ended his career there as a Systems and Financial Specialist. The allure of finance was so strong that he became a Stockbroker and Financial Advisor. Cal started with a regional company in Cedar Rapids known then as Securities Corporation of Iowa (SCI). After nine years with SCI, he sought a more national company and joined Dain Bosworth. Through mergers and acquisitions, Dain finally became known as RBC Financial Company, a division of Royal Bank Canada. Cal worked as an Institutional Broker and his clients were bank trusts, insurance companies, money managers and mutual funds. You may have money invested with some of my former clients. After 22 years in the financial industry, he retired to a life of leisure. Not really! All he has ever known is work, and real estate sales is something he has always wanted to do. Being able to blend his experience in finance with real estate, allows him to provide a unique perspective to your housing and mortgage needs. Cal has been selling real estate since 2010, and he LOVES what he is doing.

I enjoyed working with Cal on purchasing a home in Cedar Rapids. I decided to buy a home that he had found for me. He took into consideration the things I felt were important: quality neighborhood, proximity to work, and price. Cal is extremely personable and knows who to call for the answers. He has been a great resource for me. I will call him when it is time to sell my house. I would highly recommend him to friends and family.

We met Cal after calling his realty office to see a house. Cal was very knwoledgeable about Cedar Rapids housing and was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had about a property. If he didn't have the answer, he always found someone who did. We would absolutely call Cal again to either buy or sell a home. He even gave us a list of different doctors, dentists, contractors, plumbers etc that he knows and trusts. This was invaluable as we were new to the city and didn't know anyone.
