After graduating from Hastings College (Nebraska), I entered the financial services industry (1990-2004). I "developed" a taste for real estate during that last five years as a mortgage sales manager.
Since 2004, CORE Companies, LLC has maintained a presence in real estate brokerage, design, development, investment, technology and consulting. It started when I launched a residential construction company in Sioux Falls, SD that has evolved into CORE Companies' three dba’s:
• CORE Real Estate
• CORE Drafting
• CORE Lot Store
• CORE Care
• REMMersion (immersive Real Estate Media Management)
I quickly discovered that nobody knew or cared more about marketing my spec homes than I did. The decision to become a licensed real estate agent was made after listing just two spec homes with a third-party real estate firm. Since 2008, I have been the Broker/Owner of CORE Real Estate, a licensed, full service South Dakota real estate firm. Our specialties include but are not limited to:
•Spec Home Design & Marketing
•Builder Branding & Marketing
•Luxury Land/Lot Development & Marketing
•Personal Home Acquisition
•Departure Residence Marketing
•Real Estate Development:
o Design to have built
oDesign to renovate/remodel
oBuilder vetting/selection/contracting
•Real Estate Investment
I also quickly discovered that nobody cared more than I did about ensuring my clients understood exactly how their new construction or renovation project would look BEFORE construction began. CORE Drafting started designing in 3D back in 2005. Today, it continues to design and draft residential and light office new construction, additions and renovations nationwide for owners, builders, brokers and investors.
REMMersion, a play on immersive real estate media management, is the newest division of CORE Companies. It is the technical result of nearly two decades of real estate design, development and brokerage. REMMersion professionally converts residential and light commercial plans from black and white lines into immersive, photo-like, 360° panoramic virtual tours and still renderings, embeddable in web and social media sites, viewable on phones, tablets and computers. It also offers 360° panoramic virtual tours of "as built" real estate that can be augmented in a variety of ways including but not limited to virtual staging and color/style changes.
In a nutshell, CORE Companies is a real estate services provider that now leaves the building up to others. While we miss general contracting, we take more pride in working with home/business owners, builders, brokers and investors, better ensuring everyone has the best experience possible.
