Bio
Two things should come to mind when you hear the name Dennis Stanley: Professionalism and Customer Satisfaction. Dennis is a veteran of the real estate business with over 45 years of service to the Au Gres area. His journey began in 1973 when he obtained his license at the age of eighteen. His educational background includes the Russell Real Estate Institute, Delta College, and the University of Michigan, but his most important schooling came from his father Pete, who taught him the ropes of the business and molded the values and strong ethics that he practices today. Dennis is a firm believer in emphasizing the "service" in service industry, which is without doubt, the backbone of the real estate profession. He believes in treating the customer with respect, honesty, and integrity. Regardless of if the meeting is a walk-in consultation, a listing appointment or a closing, Dennis strives to assure that they leave with a good feeling about their interaction with him, and he instills that same belief into his agents. He understands the necessity of involvement with the board that governs your area. Dennis has been involved with the Northeastern Board of REALTORs over the years as a member of the Board of Directors with multiple terms as Board President. He is actively making sure that the real estate industry remains initiative-taking in bringing satisfaction to its customers and to the members of the industry. Dennis was named the 2013 Realtor of the Year by his peers of the Northeastern Michigan Board of Realtors. This was a keystone moment for Dennis as it marked his 40th year in the industry! Dennis is highly active civically in the Au Gres area. His two major devotions of time have been to the local Knights of Columbus and the Au Gres Lions Club, where he served two terms as president. He has served as K of C Grand Knight and is still active with them today, in addition to nine years’ service on the church’s parish council. In addition, he is a member of the Au Gres Area Chamber of Commerce and the Au Gres Men’s Club. For fun, Dennis enjoys following baseball, basketball, and football, from the high school level through the Pro’s. If you want to strike up a conversation with Dennis, just mention the Tigers, especially the 1968 or 1984 World Series teams. Another of Dennis’ passions is music. Attending concerts and plays are a great reliever of stress. He loves all kinds of music, and his years as a part-time DJ were a wonderful way to stay connected with something he valued so much. Family time is important in Dennis’ life. He is married to wife Joan since 1976 and they have two children, John, and Christina. John works alongside with Dennis as a third generation Associate Real Estate Broker, while Christina is currently a life skills teacher at Valparaiso High School in Indiana. Dennis has four grandchildren that he loves spending time with!
