  • Keith McKeever

    Executive Director

    With a deep-rooted background in real estate, shaped by my family and personal experiences, I've carved a unique path that blends my industry expertise with a strong commitment to community service. After serving in the US Air Force and a brief stint in furniture sales, I embraced real estate, working alongside my mother. My passion extends beyond business; I'm dedicated to supporting veterans through my Battle Buddy Podcast and actively contribute to the real estate community. Additionally, I'm enthusiastic about aiding the United Way of Pekin in achieving its goals, reflecting my dedication to local community welfare.
