About Us:

I moved to Branson , Mo. in 1992 along with my wife Linda and son Tim, from N.W. Missouri to pursue music and ministry

of which I had been invovled with since 1973.

Over the past 15 years of living in the Ozarks, I have had many experiences in both fields as well as being a part of the business community since that time.

My interest are remodeling and construction, music and golf.

Areas of Expertise

I moved into the Real Estate business in December of 2005 and was allowed the opportunity of meeting and assisting many families in finding a new home over the past two years, and having been a part of the business community prior to getting into the Real Estate business, I was familiar with several financial lenders who have assisted my clients in getting financed on their new homes.

Testimonials

"We stumbled upon a house we liked which was For Sale By Owner. Because we've used Gerken & Associates before, we informed the seller we would only make an offer through them. Gerken & Associates handled all the negotiations with great professionalism."
Ross & Janice Summers
Branson, Missouri

"We traveled to Branson several times a year and called Gerken & Associates to consider purchasing. Throughout the next two years, they kept us up to date with area real estate and were patient while we made a decision. We finally found the right place, a condo, last fall and are so happy with our purchase!"
Roger & Sally Gorgas
Mineral Point, Wisconsin

"We bought a vacant lot to build on from Gerken & Associates 16 years ago and have the highest respect for them as good, honest people. When it was time for us to sell, we didn't think twice of giving them the listing to our cabin. Dedication and personal service is second to none. A job well done!"
Bill & Betty Montalbano
Blue Eye, Missouri

"My brother Doug and I hired Gerken & Associates to sell a piece of commercial property that we had in our family for many years. Their staff was attentive, accurate and informative when going through both the negotiations and the closing."
Chip Mason
Branson, Missouri

"Buying a home can be a stressful situation, especially when you live 1,200 miles away! We arrived from Florida for a long weekend and were referred to Gerken & Associates. They worked day and night to find us a home in the short time we had. The day before returning to Florida, we found our home and signed a contract!"
Frank & Caris King
Jupiter, Florida

"Gerken & Associates goes above and beyond the call of duty on a regular basis. We don't buy property from anybody but them."

"Thank you for making the purchase of my commercial property an easy and pleasurable experience. I've purchased several properties from different real estate companies in the past and my experience with your company has been the best. I will definitely recommend Gerken & Associates to my customers at Casa Fuentes Mexican Restaurant."
Manuel Fuentes

"The entire team cared about what I wanted in a home and provided solutions to the normal (and not so normal) dilemmas that arise when buying real estate. My experience with Gerken & Associates was outstanding from start to finish."
Sandy DeLapp
Battlefield, Missouri

"Being a first-time homebuyer is overwhelming but Gerken & Associates ensured a smooth transaction. They took the time to validate my concerns and weren't just out for a quick sale. They fit the process into my busy schedule by emailing me listings with photos and directions. From the first time I met with an agent in their office, through closing day, they were at my side. I recommend Gerken & Associates to all first-time homebuyers!"
John Wilton
Tulsa, Oklahoma

"Gerken & Associates latest technology provided access to MLS information and mapping software that helped us eliminate places without having to drive all over. Their organization and pre-planning made it possible for us to stop looking after just two places."

"We stopped by Gerken & Associates during our first visit to Branson. Although we were just looking, they were very helpful and never pressured us. Throughout the house hunting experience, the team was professional and everything they told us proved to be true. We eventually decided on a lake cabin and are well on our way to enjoying lake life in Branson."

"We recently had the pleasure of working with Gerken & Associates for the second time. We purchased a home through them 15 years ago and when we decided to sell, there was no question as to whom we would use to handle our property. Professionalism and friendliness combined are the main characteristics that make the entire Gerken family and their associates the best agents we can recommend in the Tri-Lakes area."

Heide Niffen

"After countless months of looking for a home in Branson, we followed a Gerken & Associates' sign to the most beautiful neighborhood. Upon seeing the home, we called their office to view it. Although we didn't have a buyer's agent, we trusted in them, as they gave generously in time, effort and patience to walk us through the purchasing process. We recommend Gerken & Associates for all your real estate needs."
Lee & Cherri Cahow

"It has been almost 5 months since you helped us find the most wonderful Lake house in the Ozarks. Having been in sales for many years, it is hard to find a company like you who are motivated to provide quality customer service needed to sustain good business relationships. Your professionalism, knowledge of the market and sincere desire to work with us on our unique demands is much appreciated."
