Barb Manka, Broker 
 
Things have changed since 1976 and I have been there for most of the changes. I have been active in real estate all the way through. Being licensed as a real estate salesperson and broker for 36 years have enabled me to serve my clients and customers as buyers and seller in the best professional manner possible.

I was born and raised in Champaign County. I grew up in a small town with values important to this business – to treat people fairly and professionally. I served as the Multiple Listing Chairman for the Champaign County Association of Realtors in 1999-2000. In 2002, I was the Champaign County “Realtor of the Year”. I served on the Board of Directors for the CCAR from 2002-2005, and became its Secretary-Treasurer in 2005-2006. In 2008, I was the President of this Association. I have been voted as “the best female Realtor” for Rantoul for 4 consecutive years.

There is a sense of enabling Buyers and Sellers to understand how all this works in the best way possible, and I like to help them reach their goal in the best way possible. Patience and timing are important. I try not to use high pressure, ask the right questions, and find the best solutions to problems.
