Hi, Thanks for visiting. I'm Angela Clark, a full time- full service Realtor who excells in helping buyers and sellers. I proudly serve the Owensboro-Daviess County Kentucky, where I have been a lifelong resident. As a second-generation Realtor at Tony Clark Realtors, LLC, I've grown up with real estate, and have experience the market highs and lows of years gone past. My father Tony began real estate in 1976: he's an incredible mentor and broker, and was recently awarded the Kentucky Realtor of the Year, and honored at the National Association of Realtors.
When you love what you do, work feels like fun. And I'm blessed to truly love my real estate career. The joy in helping others make a wise investment, & thefriendships that have been resulted from working with clients can be overwhelming and humbling. I care about the people I work for, and I believe that positive energy radiates to all!
There's more to real estate than just an inventory of houses: real estate is about the community, about market trends, schools, parks, locations, commute.... it's about you, your life, your family! Real estate is a personal business: I keep your information confidential.
My success as a real estate agent is my simple gift of listening to my clients, and then finding the right home. I know our local real estate inside & out! The foundation of our business philosophy is the Golden Rule.
