JR Collins

Salesperson

jr@smithmidwest.com

My wife and I have enjoyed working in the real estate business as both buyer’s and seller’s agent for many years. After retiring with Skoal/Copenhagen as a Department Manager, I worked for a major building supply company and made many friends in the construction business. We built several commercial buildings and residential properties before moving back to this area; my wife’s birthplace. Through my real estate career, I have very much enjoyed meeting and making friends and look forward to many more in the future. Buying and selling real estate is a major financial decision and I regard each transaction as if it were my own. I work seven days a week, and consider your time and needs extremely valuable, doing my best to make the process an efficient and pleasant one for you. We live here, work here and plan to stay here for a very long time. The Ozarks is truly a great place to live.
