Why do you love working in real estate?
There’s never, ever a dull moment. No two days are the same. An avid attention to detail in an ever-changing industry is a challenge that I embrace. The best part though is being there to celebrate successes with my clients and solidly being there for them to work through any challenges we face — together. I say it all the time and it may sound corny, but it always rings true…”We’ll get there together!”
What are you most proud of in your career?
Being able to continually help clients and friends solve their real estate challenges, find solutions, and ultimately achieve what they set out to do. Buying or selling a home is physically, mentally, and emotionally tough to do and if I can get them through the process with a smile on their face and as little stress as possible, then I’m a happy camper!
Do you have a special cause or volunteer your time?
I do! I have a few avenues that I volunteer my time which are incredibly rewarding. I work in our Outreach Food Pantry at church, Fredericksburg United Methodist, to meet local folks in need and distribute food to help them make ends meet. I host a food drive every month to make sure we keep the food pantry stocked, ready to serve others. With FAAR, I really enjoy helping out at the Thurman Brisben dinners we serve while building a gracious camaraderie amongst my fellow volunteers. I also volunteer as a class coordinator for Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace University. It is inspiring to help guide folks of all ages through the powerful class and to share best practices about how to find peace in our finances.
Fun Fact
Hmm, I grew up on our family farm outside of Roanoke, Virginia where we made apple cider (Murray’s Cider Company, Inc. since 1938) and raised cattle. Growing up on a farm is fun and that’s a fact!
