Bob and Shellie Wilkes of The Wilkes Team at Jim Maloof/Realtor have a proven track record of showing their clients that "Where There's a Wilkes, There REALLY IS a Way" to make their home dreams a reality!
The Wilkes take extreme pride in the fact that almost 100% of their business comes from referral or return business - this includes referrals from fellow Realtors who have come to trust Shellie and Bob as agents who will work hard and offer exceptional service. This business model means that the Wilkes' can focus on their relationship with their clients - and exceeding their needs, forging friendships along the way.
This approach has led to rapid and steady growth, year after year as members of the Jim Maloof/Realtor Family. The Wilkes now rank in the top 6% of overall production for their brokerage.
As major contributors to the Realtor Political Action Committee - the Wilkes do more than fight for their clients at the negotiation table - they are fighting for homeowners rights. Through their donations to RPAC, they help to elect officials with the best interestes of homeowners in mind and lobby for issues that directly impoact homeowners.
"Shellie Wilkes has been, for me, all that a realtor can be and even more, because Shellie went above and beyond what would be required or expected. Shellie spent her own tIme and money to “stage” my condo, which I had left empty when I moved from there,and she was still in my court trying to assist me the day we closed. She was always on top of whatever was happening and always kept me informed. Shellie Wilkes is one of the best, if not the best, sales person in the Central Illinois area, so of course I have recommended her, and will continue to recommend her, to all those I know. She is someone who loves what she does and she works diligently at it with that same love and concern for her clients. Everyone working with Shellie Wilkes is fortunate indeed. I could not recommend her more highly."

"Shellie Wilkes recently represented us in the purchase of our home. She was always eager and readily available to show us any home that we requested. She was patient and never pushed us. She ended up representing us in somewhat of a complicated purchase and I have no doubt that without her advocacy for us we would not be in this house that we love today! I would highly recommend Shellie to anyone!"
