Decker and Bonnie Velie 

Decker Velie

Decker is founder and past CEO of successful businesses in the film, music, entertainment and commercial space. He has worked  with Fortune 100 companies covering over thirty-five states. He excels in understanding what his clients want and then cutting through the noise to achieve their goals. 

Real estate is local. The business, when done right, is built on relationships. The upper bracket requires an intuitive understanding of the landscape in not only the property but also the people that live there. Decker and three generations before him have created businesses, helped build schools, and have been members of the local churches and charities as part of living and growing up in Minneapolis, (western suburbs) and South Florida.
