"…I can always rely on Neal’s judgment and tenacity.   I have watched his ability to establish a correct course of action, to hold firm, and to follow up until a solution was achieved.

In my former career as a high school English teacher, I observed similar qualities in only one principal of the numerous principals I worked under. Strong, smart, decisive, and determined leadership is rare and Neal exemplifies it!   I consider him a terrific manager and wish he were back at Parkway."

Elaine Anderson  


" Neal's hand's off but engaging management style was the perfect environment for me as an entrepreneur.  He's available to talk, sincerely interested and his insights helped draw out my unique strengths. Under his leadership I became the number one listing agent in just three years.  He encourages his agents to aim high in their careers, but he also understands the importance of the work/personal life balance."
