Personal Resume: Edward J. Marteka, Realtor, BD Homes: After graduating with a degree in Chemical Engineering, I served three years in the U. S. Army as an Airborne Officer and earned the Army Commendation Medal for my services as Commanding Officer of a 600 man Garrison Unit. I then joined a multi-billion dollar corporate leader in health care. I became Chief Executive of a Joint Venture (US and Japan) living in Japan, and VP International Business - Far East. After retiring from corporate life in Chicago, I founded a company to manufacture and market a commodity health product. With creative marketing, I enjoyed huge success against very strong competitors. After retiring a second time, I joined Bennion Deville Homes - market leader in Coachella valley real estate. Real Estate Interests: I always enjoyed investing in rental and residential real estate properties in Chicago and California. All investments have been successful and spurred me on to focus on real estate upon retiring from my successful corporate and entrepreneurial career. I have been with Bennion Deville Homes for nearly 10 years. My early success began with selling my first listing (a $3.0 million home) in a relatively short while. More listings followed, and the success which I have achieved in real estate is attributed to the same characteristics and traits that made me successful in business. You Always Come First: I attribute my real estate successes to Superior Service to the Customer. Your wishes, goals, and needs are listened to, counseled, and acted upon to your satisfaction. I have experienced on a personal basis what constitutes an excellent Real Estate Professional. I believe we share those high standards of excellence. I hope you will employ my experience, professional conduct and my ingrained success-driven characteristics to fulfill your real estate needs. Please call me 760-408-5125 and test my skills. Edward J.
