About Charlie

Let Me Open The Door To Your New Home!

Charlie’s drive for excellence helped him to accomplish much professionally.  He brings that string of accomplishments and the skills that he developed over the years to his career today.

“Completing a real estate transaction is often complicated, especially when you live l50 miles away from the listing. Charlie Fields, however, made our purchase incredibly simple by going far above and beyond the norm. Without Charlie’s help, I would have had to drive the 2 l/2 hours from my permanent home to Galena each time to manage inspections, hire contractors, monitor repairs, arrange for septic evaluations, meet with engineers, service furnace filters, oversee radon mitigation and, in general, take care of all the business involved in closing the deal. I felt I could rely on Charlie 100% to act on my behalf. Charlie not only saved me numerous trips to Galena but. found and implemented positive solutions to every hitch that inevitably arose throughout the process. We couldn’t possibly be happier with his performance as our real estate agent.

I would wholeheartedly and unequivocally recommend Charlie Fields to anyone thinking of buying or selling real estate in the Galena area.”

Charlie started out as a patrol officer on the streets of Chicago and with hard work and dedication worked his way up to a Sergeant in the Gang Crime Unit.  This 15 year career helped him build strong interpersonal and negotiating skills.  Utilizing these skills today enables Charlie to get to know you as his client, understand your needs, and negotiate the best deal for you.

After leaving the police force, Charlie entered into the world of business management and the building trades.  Years of managing people, time and money have given Charlie the skills necessary to analyze and assess the market and a homes value ensuring that whether you are selling or buying the price is right for you.

When Charlie decided to make a career change, the same skills and abilities that made him a leader in the past were applied to his new career in Real Estate.  Taking the tools that he has developed over the years, he went to work as a full time Real Estate Agent.  Currently working with Preferred Properties at Eagle Ridge Resort and Spa, Charlie’s office is located on site of the beautiful Galena Territory.
