Why do you love working in real estate?
So many reasons….clients that have become friends, helping people navigate the maze of the real estate world, doing something different every day, learning something new…always, flexibility of schedule, opportunity to work with my family…Mom, Husband, 2 Sisters and Niece and an awesome group at 1st Choice,
Favorite Work Story
My Mom has been a local Realtor for 40+ years. She tried to convince me for years to get in to the business and I didn’t want anything to do with it. When my son was born, I decided to stay home and got my license to work “part time.” Ha…no such thing! I later transitioned in to full time so that my husband could quit his job and go back to college full time…and 18 years later I’m still in it!
What are you most proud of in your career?
Striving to maintain integrity in all transactions, building good working relationships with other Realtors and winning the first Good Neighbor Award.
Do you have a special cause or volunteer your time?
I love everything Peru…the people, the culture, the landscape. I began serving in Peru in 2005 in an orphanage and have continued to visit, serve and build relationships with many I have met over the last 12 years. I have also served and continue to serve locally in various areas.
Fun Fact
I checked an item off of my Bucket List this past October when I was able to visit Machu Picchu in Peru, one of the new 7 Wonders of the World. It was AMAZING!
