About Jason Coombs
I have served in the United States Marine Corps as well as the United States Army. I have been deployed several times, including to Afghanistan and have held a Top Secret clearance level for many years. I left my active duty career with the military so that my wife could pursue a career opportunity in Illinois. Having been a mentor to many young Soldiers and Marines, I have found my career in real estate very rewarding because I enjoy being a trusted advisor. A great REALTOR® is more than a sales person. We are coaches and mentors during one of the most important decisions that most Americans make. I hope to be your trusted advisor!
