Gideon Realty: Amy Eckert

Small Town, Deep Roots: Amy Eckert on Building Gideon Realty in Marion, IllinoisJennifer Olson and Russell Williams host Small Town, Big Business from downtown Marion, Illinois, introduce sponsors, and interview Amy Eckert of Gideon Realty. A lifelong Marion resident, Eckert shares her family background, memories of Marion’s downtown-to-mall-to-downtown shift, and her path from part-time jobs and 10.5 years in local radio to homeschooling her sons for 16–17 years after feeling called to do so. She describes leadership experience in multi-level marketing, earning her real estate license in 2017 with mentor Joanna Farrell, later obtaining a managing broker license, and in May of the prior year launching the intentionally small “boutique” Gideon Realty after guidance from Ethos and attorney Martin Parsons. Eckert emphasizes personalized, local, relationship-based service, education for buyers and sellers, and her trademarked tagline, “Small Town, Deep Roots,” and shares how to contact her via Facebook or 618-922-8820.Recorded at EThOs Small Business Incubator and Co-working Spaces in Marion, Illinois.https://members.ethosmarion.org/ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCASTOur guest: https://www.facebook.com/RealEstateSouthernIllinois/
