Emil has had 30 years of broad spectrum Real Estate service and training.  Emil started his real estate career in Orem, Utah working for the largest privately owned Real Estate company, Martensen Real Estate.  Primarily Emil's focus was on new construction and Residential Real Estate for the first 4 years of his career.  Emil was quickly thrown into the Commercial/Restaurant Real Estate sector as he was hired by Golden Corral Steak House Restaurants of Raleigh N.C.. During the next 9 years Emil analyzed the latest demographic information to determine acceptable productive markets for Restaurant locations. Emil completed the demographics and personally researched every town and city that showed promise on paper.  Emil would personally visit, research, and do the interviews to determine the projected profitability of each store. When approval was given to move forward with the site location of the new store to be built,  Emil would begin the acquisition.  Emil's duties were to locate 3 acceptable sites and begin the negotiations to acquire these sites from start to finish.  Build to suits, ground lease and straight purchases were what Emil negotiated.  Emil would negotiate the purchases and or leases and complete the site cost analysis from ground to turn-key operations.  Emil worked in 31 states from Florida to Massachusetts --- Seattle to L.A. and in between.  Negotiating throughout the country gave Emil a tremendous exposure to the diversity and culture that exists here in America.  This exposure to diversity has made it possible for Emil to work with and lead many individuals in their Real Estate careers.  Emil currently instructs on the Reality of Personality training and just how important it is to understand the 4 personality groups in negotiations. Emil has Managed 2 Real Estate Brokerages.  Emil has received numerous awards for Top Selling, Top Listing, Top Recruiter, Top Relocation Specialists, V.P. of Real Estate for Golden Corral Restaurant Development in the Western Region along with top Region for 3 years in a row.  Emil has Chaired and served on many Real Estate Association committees and has lectured at local schools and business functions.  Emil currently holds his ABR and GRI designations along with numerous Excellence in Real Estate Awards in service and education.  Emil has trained new and existing agents for the last 24 years.
