About Us and About Town
My wife, Sharon and I have lived here in Defiance for the past 23 years. We are proud to call this our Home. Collectively we have more than 35 years experience in the Real Estate business. In 2004 I received my Broker Designation and set up shop here in Defiance. In 2006 I completed both my GRI (Graduate REALTOR® Institute) and e-PRO designations. Holden Realty has a motto, "If You Are Not A Leader, The View Never Changes". All of my agents and myself firmly believe this as we all continue to further our education in the Real Estate field to stay on top of the curve, enabling us to provide you with the best possible service.
With that in mind, we have created this web site to enable you to surf available listings, find out what goes on in and around Defiance, Missouri and hopefully allow us to help you find your Dream Home.
We also provide you with links to the local businesses. For those that do not have web sites themselves, I have created a page or two so that you might include them in your visits to our home, Defiance, Missouri. I am also working on an Evevts Calendar to keep you posted on upcomming events. Please enjoy your visit and return frequently.
