Grady Kohler came to us as a top producing
broker from a large Cendant Company. He has proven himself as a very
successful sales agent closing multiple millions of dollars in volume and
over 50 transactions in a single year. His superior customer service and
unparallel work ethic made Windermere the perfect fit. Grady knows Utah! It's
hard to find anyone who enjoys so many of the diverse opportunities for
recreation as much as Grady; from skiing and skydiving, ice and rock climbing
to motor cross and fly fishing. Maybe it's this passion for Utah that carries
over to his successful professional life. Whatever the factor, with Grady's
high education, including an MBA from the University of Utah, his in depth
knowledge of Utah Real Estate and strong work ethic have proven to make him a
successful broker. Grady’s goal is to make sure everyone of his agents
succeeds, and as a result superior customer service is achieved. He is a very
accessible person and welcomes any questions anytime. With his love for
teaching new agents and knowledge of business he has taken new agents to
successful careers in little time. He is also a NON-COMPETING BROKER. His
main responsibility it to make sure his agents achieve the success they
desire.
