Hello, my name is Maureen Stafford and I am a real estate broker with Hunt and Farm Realty, LLC. I was born and raised in Chicago so I appreciate the tranquility and beauty of living in a rural area. I raised my family in Pope County and I have worked here in the county for all of the 38 years I have lived here. I have had my real estate license for a little over 9 years and it complements my full-time job of placing values on property for the county. That experience gives me a unique insight to the market and property values, and that insight benefits not only sellers that I am fortunate enough to work with, but also buyers that are in the market. I am always attentive, responsive and helpful so each real estate transaction is an enjoyable experience for my clients. I enjoy working with first-time home buyers and seasoned land buyers alike. If you’re a buyer, I hope you find southern Illinois as beautiful as I do and I hope you’ll consider Hunt & Farm Realty, LLC for the brokerage to represent you. If you’re a seller, I hope you’ll consider my experience in this market and Hunt & Farm’s commitment to marketing to be a benefit to you.
