Get to Know C. J. Moylan
True: I have been a Realtor for just a few years.
Truer: I have been "in Real Estate "all my life!
The Truth: I have been preparing for this career my entire life. Properties are only half the job, People are the other half - the bigger half. Listening, really listening to the needs, wants, desires, concerns of my clients. Be they looking for a first time home in a great school district or a cash-flow property for long-term investment, each person's needs are unique.
Both buyers and sellers have a lot on the line. Both need a dependable advocate who can investigate, negotiate and CLOSE the deal on-time. Before entering the exciting field of Real Estate, I had the good fortune to devote a substantial amount of time to volunteer work, quickly rising to leadership positions in any arena I entered. I was able to hone my skills at listening to the competing needs of different parts of the community and bringing all to the table to meet common goals while honoring each unique individual group's needs - much as Real Estate combines a common goal - closing - brought by divergent and sometimes conflicting needs.
I firmly believe more is achieved by honesty and respect than by "forumula's for success".

Certifications
My listings cover Lake Forest to Lincoln Park, split-level starters, 18 room luxury New Construction and 33 unit mixed use buildings. Trained in evaluating Investment Properties - from cash flow multi-family to "rent-able" tear-downs for builders, I bring a financial acumen to the table and a full compliment of experts I can consult for any issue that arises. I don't focus on a certain type of building or a certain area - I focus on a certain mindset -those of the can-do, positive looking mind-set who thrive on the opportunities of this market, who see things others miss, who know the best investments are not made for the short term but the long haul, who understand that life is not just a living.
In January, I completed my GRI, in April, I sit for the State Broker's Exam. This past week, I was certified by the NAR for knowledge of Green Real Estate Issues. I beleive the dual purpose of sustainable building to help the earth and to help the real property owner's economics is an exciting development that is more than a trend. But caution must be used so that this is a real offering to the consumer and not just a form of marketing for builders, for developers, for realtors.
As a life-long learner, I thrive on the uniqueness of each transaction and each client's story and personal needs.
