B.J. Chiodo - Owner & Principal Broker
From the corn fields of Iowa to the clean clear waters of the Ozarks, I have found my niche in the world. Originally dedicated to the newspaper industry, I changed my profession a few years ago to the marketing of real estate. Helping people change a way of life is a terrific way to make a living, people from all over come to this area for one reason or another, mostly to change a way of life, being a part of their world for a while is wonderful and rewarding. I not only help them find their home, but make new friends along the way. My most challenging and rewarding endeavor in life has been my three sons, Scott, James and Brad Poush. They each have lovely wives and have blessed me with 7 grandchildren and one great grandson.

Sharon Folsom - Owner & Sales Associate
Family has always been important to me, so it wasn't a difficult decision to leave the fast paced lifestyle of Peoria, Illinois and move to Mountain Home at the urging of my sister, who had moved here quite a few years prior.

It didn't take me long to fall in love with the charm and down home flavor of the Twin Lakes Area, and the picture perfect post card views around every corner are awe inspiring. In addition, the wonderful people who live here are never too busy to speak or even chat for a moment if you like.

I returned to school later in life, but I believe it's never too late for an education or anything else you set your heart on. I leaned toward Journalism, and worked at it enthusiastically for a while before turning toward the social services field. I enjoy helping people on an individual basis, and Real Estate for me, is a great outlet to help people with their Real Estate goals and to find the home for them that is not only acceptable to their needs, but adds to their personal idea of the American dream.

Though some may say I'm a late bloomer to the world of Real Estate, I bring with me a sense of compassion, dedication and a willingness to work hard for those I represent.

Also, the great team spirit and knowledgeable agents I have found here at Ed Gilbert & Associates Realty Co., makes me comfortable and proud of my undertaking.

I look forward to working with you and understanding what your Real Estate needs are.

Scott Kramm - Executive Broker
I am originally from Chicago Illinois, but I moved to the Mtn. Home area in 1968, where I attended school and graduated from Mtn. Home High School in 1980.

I joined the Army and served my country from 1981 to 1985, and my first duty station was for 1 ½ years at Fort Carson, Colorado on the M60 tank. Then, I spent two years on the M1 tank guarding the East/West German border. After, serving my time in the military, I decided to drive a semi truck and did so for several years, but it was when I got into Real Estate that I found my true calling.

I received my Real Estate license in 1994, and now serve as Executive Broker at Ed Gilbert & Associates Realty Company. I love the Mtn. Home area, and truly enjoy working with people to fulfill their Real Estate needs. I look forward to serving you, so stop in and see me at Ed Gilbert & Associates Realty Company.

Brian and Rene Cox - Sales Associates
Our Real Estate career began in Memphis over 10 years ago. Brian grew up in Real Estate with his father being a broker of his own company. I have extensive experience with marketing, as I grew up in that field.

Together we make a great team in Real Estate and out. Let us use our combined knowledge and experience to serve you in buying or selling Real Estate. Our family consists of two wonderful children excelling in everything since moving here six years ago.

Every year we would save to vacation here so when we got the chance to move here we jumped at it. Moving here is stepping back in time and enjoying life’s pleasures.

We can take the worry out of Real Estate for you.

Ed Gilbert - Sales Associate

This is a great place to live, and many people from all over are finding that out. I moved here from central CA in 1995 after retiring from Pacific Bell Telephone after 25+ years of service.

Cindy Hubka - Sales Associate
I'm Cindy Hubka (it's a Czech name by the way) and I'm proud to be part of this terrific group of folks here at Ed Gilbert & Associates Realty Co. 

I'm originally from Chicago (my husband is from Cedar Rapids) but throughout the years we've lived in our nations capital, Washington D.C., the Gulf coast of Florida, and over 10 years in Saudi Arabia due to my husband's career with a major oil company. 

After traveling the world on business and vacations, I can truly say Mountain Home, Arkansas is the best place I've ever lived! Since I love to fish, it's a dream come true to have our beautiful Twin Lakes at my doorstep, and the trout-infested White and North fork rivers as an added bonus. 

I'm so excited to help you discover the beauty of the Ozarks and I'm looking forward to assisting you in finding just the right property whether it's a small cozy cabin, acreage, river or lake view properties.

If you plan on visiting Mountain Home, stop by our office and ask for me - I'll put a pot of coffee on, and you can tell me exactly what you're looking for - we'll explore together until we find your perfect place. Let me put my decade of real estate experience to work for you.  Since I've relocated many times myself, I understand what's involved, and I'm here to help smooth the way for you.

Pete Paulos - Sales Associate
Thank you for choosing Ed Gilbert and Associates for your Real Estate needs. I have been blessed with a wonderful woman of 21 years. She has given me three beautiful children ranging in age from 13 to 20 years old. I cannot begin to describe the beauty and tranquility of the Ozarks. Having lived here for the past three years I can say that Mountain Home has just plain grown on us.

After 20 years in the telecommunications field, I decided it was time to exit the rat race. I’ve traveled East to West and North to South in my career. There’s no place out there like Ozark living. The lakes, rivers, and some of the best hunting I’ve ever experienced. All within a short drive of each other.

Youth baseball has been a hobby of mine for the past 8 years now. I enjoy teaching kids the skills of baseball. Whether a tear is shed or a smile from ear to ear, I enjoy it. Sometimes I think these kids are teaching me more than what I teach them. I truly appreciate the community putting their confidence in me with our youth.

I will always visit California, but I am proud to call Mountain Home our home.

Brad Poush - Sales Associate
I relocated to Mtn. Home, AR with my mother and two brothers when I was about the age of 12 and continued my education here. Although I wasn’t born here, I seemed to fit in perfectly with the area residents, and I feel as if I am a native to the area.

I have two beautiful daughters, Jessica Chapman and Amy Poush. My oldest daughter was recently married, but she will always be my little girl just as Amy will. I have one grandson, Kohnner, who came into the world with a “Bang” on July 4th, 2004, and is the pride of my life.

When I completed high school, I went into manufacturing which helped me raise my two daughters for the last 22 years, so you can see I’m not the kind of person to hop from job to job.

After raising my daughters, I thought it was time to choose a new profession, and since my mother has been in Real Estate for over 20 years in Mtn. Home, it wasn’t a difficult decision to choose Real Estate. And to motivate me more, my aunt, who also went into Real Estate and my mom recently purchased Ed Gilbert & Associates Realty Co., so it wasn’t difficult to know where to hang my license.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you and finding out your Real Estate needs and all about your dream home you envision in the beautiful Ozark Mountains. I am very familiar with our area and anxious for you to see the beauty just as I do and to share my knowledge with you.

Scott Poush - Sales Associate
I’ve lived in Iowa most of my life. I have a beautiful wife, Teresa, and four wonderful children; Tyler, Britney, Blake, and Dylan. I’ve truly been blessed, and with four children to consider, my philosophy has been that you don’t sit around and wait for things to happen, you get out there and make things happen. I was always the kind to get out there and work, and have been in sales, both salaried and commission for over 20 years, with ten years as a sales manager.

However, there came a time in my life when I wanted to make a change, and my mom, B.J. Chiodo has been in Real Estate for over 20 years, and spoke to me on several occasions to do the same, and when she and my Aunt Sharon purchased Ed Gilbert & Associates Realty Co. in November of 2005, I began thinking about it seriously and decided to get my license, as did my brother, Brad Poush, so joining the team was somewhat a family affair.

It took a lot to pack up and move away from familiar things, but my family and everyone here at Ed Gilbert & Associates Realty Co., has been wonderful. I had visited the area for years, as my mom lived here, but never thought I would actually live here one day myself. I feel very fortunate to live in such a beautiful area. As a family man, I am very happy that my family is adapting very well to the lifestyle and friendly folks here in the Ozarks, and I already feel as though I belong, not only to the company, but to the area.

I look forward to meeting many wonderful people, and can assure you that I have brought my “get out there and get it done” work ethic, and I can promise you that whatever your Real Estate needs are I will give it my total attention, and make your selling or buying experience a happy and fulfilling one.

Mike Rose - Sales Associate
I recently moved here from southern California. I’ve been coming here to vacation for the last 11 years, seeing my parents that moved here in 1993. Having worked in the automotive service industry, I had enough of all the exhaust fumes from work and the city. What a breath of fresh air it is here. I was committed to excellent customer service in the service industry and am going to use those skills in serving the people in their Real Estate transactions. I take pride in following up and staying in contact.

I also dedicate my time to coaching in Little League, having 4 boys keeps my wife and myself very busy during that time of year. My wife is Aliza, sons Jared, Ryan and twins Kyle and Austin.

I look forward to serving all your Real Estate needs.

John Sims - Sales Associate
I was born and raised in Gainesville, Missouri and joined the U. S. Army in 1948 for one year. On December 24, 1949 I married Guavana Eglick (we had dated 3 ½ years). We have four children, Rick Sims, Katherine Coffman, Terry Sims, and Jeaina Hood. We have 10 grandchildren and nine great grandchildren.

We owned and operated a locker plant, slaughter house, grocery store and meat market for 12 years, sold it, then bought into MFA insurance for seven years.

In 1970 we moved to Mountain Home, Arkansas and sold life insurance for two years and in 1972 I received my Real Estate license.

I sure have seen lots of changes in Mountain Home in the past 35 years in Real Estate and been involved in building about 18 homes and moved 11 times.

We love this country and love the changes and don’t think we have seen anything yet. Just come down and I will help you find just the house or land that you can call home. We have it all - fishing, camping, hunting, golfing, etc. I look forward to serving all your Real Estate needs.

Linda Thoren - Sales Associate
I have been blessed to live in the beautiful Twin Lakes area for over 30 years. My husband, Craig, and I are the parents of two sons, Jerimiah and Casy and the grandparents of a fantastic grandson, Chase. I previously owned and operated a family style restaurant in downtown Mountain Home, but made the decision to change my career to Real Estate. I love dealing with people and being part of their big decision to purchase property in our area. The challenge is rewarding in hundreds of ways.

Give me a call and put me to work for you!

Jessica Evans - Secretary & Sales Associate
Having grown up in the Real Estate industry with my parents Ed and Carolyn Gilbert, it was only natural for me to join the team here at Ed Gilbert & Associates Realty Co. I am a native of the area and a graduate of Mountain Home High School.

I have diverse interests that include missionary work in Brazil. I am an avid horse lover and animal lover. I have also shown steers in FFA during high school. I adore children and one day I plan on having a family of my own.

Rodeos, riding horses, fishing, swimming and jet skiing are also on the list of things I enjoy.

Nancy Mincey - Secretary
I’m a California transplant, moving here in 1985 to be with my husband. I worked for the System-wide Administration of the University of California for 18 years, and was ready to move on to a new life style.

I worked for Baxter Healthcare shortly after moving here, but soon moved into the real estate world as a Secretary in 1988. For the past 17 years my work has been in real estate and having been with Ed Gilbert & Associates Realty Co. 11 years.

It’s been such a pleasure greeting so many people interested in living here from all over the United States. They all have their own sets of needs and most are looking forward to taking life a little bit easier. I’m glad to say that our office has made many good friends.
