I would consider myself a master marketer. During college I owned my own motor coach business where I sold group tours to associations and affiliations. I was recruited from John Carroll University in 2006 by the World Wrestling Federation, now the WWE, to be their Las Vegas regional marketing manager. I worked for the WWE for over 2 years in Vegas. I eventually took on the Manager position at Coyote Ugly in the New York, New York Hotel. I opened Coyote Ugly, a $12 million nightclub, and was directly responsible for the marketing and advertising.
When I moved back to Ohio, I had to find a position when I could continue to use my talents and creative abilities. I received my real estate license in 2003 and chose to work on The Michael Kaim Team. to work with the best, most energetic, and enthusiastic Realtor who I could find that loved their work. I love my career and I love helping people find their new home. There has been nothing so satisfying as watching people find a home they love.
I have over 10 years of sales experience and emerged a true sales professional for the real estate industry. My experience originated from some of the most challenging industries. I attribute my success to both formal education and my father, who is a nationally ranked sales professional and entrepreneur in his industry.
I graduated from Gilmour Academy in 1995. After graduating, I was asked to join a relocation firm where I helped create a marketing research department while at the same time I was enrolled at John Carroll University (JCU). While attending JCU, I began to hone my skills in marketing as a sales professional. During my college years I started my first sales job as a high-end food broker. I quickly became one of the top sales professionals within my organization. Just as I succeeded at my first sales position I was also successful at developing strong relationships with people. One of those relationships was with Michael Kaim, where he and I shared the same classes together and became close friends.
After graduating from JCU in 1999 with a BSBA in Marketing, I furthered my education by obtaining an MBA from JCU in 2002. After finishing my master’s degree I decided to pursue a position as an industrial sales engineer. As an industrial sales engineer, I was successful at establishing major accounts and breaking into new markets. At that time the U.S. economy began to decline along with businesses and their capital budgets. I started to consider other business opportunities that would be more rewarding for my efforts.
In 2003, I had reached a major turning point and found myself embarking on a new career as a real estate agent. Michael had just established a team within Prudential Select Properties and I decided to become a partner. I established over 20 clients and performed over 15 transactions within the first several months. I have been consistently one of the top sales leaders and have been successful at sharing the title of top listing agent on a monthly basis.
I have finally discovered a career path that is consistent with my skill set, marketing background, and sales experience, which includes a family of people that I look forward to working with daily. I hope that you have the opportunity of experiencing our family at The Michael Kaim Team.

I am a Buyers' Specialist and have been with The Michael Kaim Team since 2005. I enjoy working with buyers & sellers and pride myself on attention to detail while matching the right home with the right family or individual. As the lead agent on a new-construction condominium project, I have been able to enjoy a different side of the real estate industry. But in the end, I love working with people and being a realtor, and you can depend on the fact that I work hard for all of my buyers and sellers.
I joined The Michael Kaim Team in February 2005, immediately after being licensed. After working in the accounting and finance field for 18 years, I decided to pursue a career in real estate. Knowing that I was able to join Prudential’s #1 team was a deciding factor for me. The experience, knowledge and support I get from the team combined with my own qualities of being accurate and thorough, detail-oriented and organized make me the best Realtor I can be. I enjoy working with people and take pride in treating everyone as my #1 client. I work hard for all my buyers and sellers – giving them all the time and personal attention they need to ensure that their home buying experience exceeds all expectations.

I received my Real Estate license in January of 2005 and have been a part of The Michael Kaim Team ever since. I specialize in working with buyers while focusing on professionalism and communication while committing to my buyers' & sellers' needs. Although I enjoy finding the right property for my clients, they can always be assured that I am keeping their best interest in mind.
I have over 16 years in Real Estate expertise with 11 years being in Northeast Ohio. I began my Real Estate career in Boulder, Colorado where I not only had my Sales license but also my Broker’s license. While working as a Buyers’ Specialist, my Finance & Business background made me acquire excellent knowledge of home market sales, enabling me to average $5 million in sales annually. Although I enjoy all aspect of the Real Estate industry, New Construction in Homes and Condominium Living are my specialty. It is because of my New Construction background that I was recruited to join The Michael Kaim Team in 2006.
Before getting into the Real Estate industry over two and a half years ago, I have had over 10 years sales experience and a BA in Business Management & Labor Relations from Cleveland State University. Since I have been in the Real Estate industry, I have been specializing in higher end New Construction home sales averaging $2.5 million annually. I joined The Michael Kaim Team in 2006 to bring my experience to their First Gated Waterfront Community, Larimar. I look forward to continuing my success within The Michael Kaim Team.
I have been licensed since August 2006. I joined the Michael Kaim Team right after receiving my license. I chose the Michael Kaim Team because I wanted to associate myself with the best in the business. I value their team concept and understand the benefits it provides for our customers. I will graduate from Kent State University with a degree in Business Management in 2008.
I have been licensed since 1994 and I understand that coordinating the sale of an existing home with the purchase of a new home can be time consuming as well as frustrating. I believe that I can make this experience a more pleasant one. In today’s ever changing technological world, I know that good service is hard to find. That’s why in order to achieve 100% customer satisfaction, I will complete a comprehensive analysis specific to your home needs and show you that I am dedicated to your individual real estate pursuit! I have an enthusiastic attitude and am confident that you will have the luxury of coming away from your transaction with a positive experience. My past clients have experienced this and that is why I have been honored with the Quality Service award, the Champions Club award and the NAR Presidents Club Award while maintaining my ability to be a sales and listing leader.
I have been a licensed Realtor since 1987. I joined The Michael Kaim Team in May of 2002. I was an "old school" real estate agent who did not know or appreciate the value of the Team concept. I quickly learned the many benefits to our customers. The attention to detail and the specialized knowledge is second to none. Our customers are thrilled with the service they received and happy customers are my goal.
I have been with The Michael Kaim Team since the beginning in 2002. I have started off as the Listing Manager but have evolved into the Client Service Manager. As part of my responsibilities, I talk to all of our clients on a daily basis to provide them with the most up to date knowledge of the market and progress of their listing.
I recently received my license in July and look forward to making new friends and meeting new people.

After receiving a BA in Marketing from Kent State University, I joined The Michael Kaim Team as their Director of Marketing in May of 2005. I am responsible for creating and maintaining all plans of action to market and advertise each property on a personalized basis. When a seller lists their home with The Michael Kaim Team, they can be assured that I will exhaust every avenue to find the right buyer. Although regulating the area's most aggressive marketing plan keeps me busy, I always have time to ensure each aspect of our clients' experience exceeds their every expectation!
In addition, I have an active Real Estate license. This allows me the versatility to work with sellers and buyers alike. It’s the experience, knowledge, and support that I get from the team combined with my enthusiastic attitude, organization and communication skills that allow me to give my clients all the time and personal attention they need within the home buying process.

In 2002 I graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Advertising. After graduation, I took a management position with The Limited Corporation for 2 years. During that time I was promoted and received company-wide recognition for my Merchandising and Sales achievements.
During the summer of 2004 I was recruited by The Michael Kaim Team to use my management skills as the Director of Operations. Along with daily operations, I also work with the Director of Marketing to create and produce direct mailing campaigns. Though my specialty is in advertising, I quite enjoy being involved in many aspects of the real estate process.
I earned my Real Estate Sales Professional License in July 2006 and immediately thereafter joined The Michael Kaim Team. As an aggressive and highly motivated individual, I wanted to associate myself with the best in the business and I knew that no other Real Estate team in the area would be a better fit. I am greatly looking forward to growing my own personal business through the best Prudential Real Estate team in the state.
I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Ashland University in the Spring of 2007 and am excited to utilize my experiences, educational and otherwise, in my career as a Real Estate Sales Professional.
After receiveing my license, I immediately joined Prudential’s #1 team for sales and listings as a full time Realtor®. I’m dedicated to my clients and I realize that whether they’re buying or selling, it can be a stressful time. Because I’ve lived in Geauga county for the past 7 years and previously lived in Lake county for 26 years, I am very familiar with both areas. It’s my experience in the area and dedication to my clients that provides me with the confidence to know that I can quickly sell your current home or help you find your dream home! |
