Myles Conger
Office Manager. Myles is a Manager Extraordinaire. He has a BBA from ISU. He started at GT Realty in 2010 to fill a position that required him to do one task all day. Since then, he has worked every single position in the office and then worked up to managing the office. We believe Myles' baseball experience (which he still plays!) has set him up to be an all around clutch member of the Team. He constantly receives compliments from our clients and our brokers as to how helpful he is and how he does a fantastic job solving problems and addressing issues. Team GT is lucky to have his support and assistance. Myles plays baseball and basketball and he umpires baseball games and teaches kids at baseball clinics.
Teresa Ambers
Teresa joined Team GT in 2015 to take over our accounting department. She has a BS in Accounting from Northeastern Illinois University and has a passion for numbers as well as an interest in Real Estate. Some day she may take on getting a Real Estate Brokers licence, but right now she's happy running the teams A/R and A/P, which at times can be a handful! She conquers all challenges in front of her, and it's no wonder she holds her own in basketball games with her husband. The team wouldn't function as it does without Teresa's meticulous skill and expertise.

The show, Life's Ruff, was an actual canine game show that received national attention in 2009 with a spot on NBC Nightly news! Most recently, Chris has dedicated his time to being a stay-at home dad to his two girls! Other stuff: Navy Vet, Craft Entrepreneur, College Grad. Chris loves talking about real estate but can answer a ton of questions about training and behavior if you have them!
