1. What was your first job in real estate? Sales Associate with Roberts & Co
2. What led you to a career in real estate? My father was a REALTOR when I was growing up, so I was familiar with the business. I was in my eleventh year of teaching and was looking to make a change to spent more time with my ever-growing children. Courtney is a long-time friend. One day at her house, she told me that she thought I should get my license. She was opening her own brokerage. I jumped at the chance to work with her. That conversation was in December of 2014. By January 23, 2015, I had taken the class and passed the test to get my license. The rest, as they say, is history.
3. What is your favorite part of the job? The people! I love guiding people through the process to purchase probably the most expensive asset in their life. I am a teacher at heart, so teaching people about the process and helping them through it comes naturally to me.
4. What's one piece of advice you'd like to share with any first-time homebuyers? Breathe, hold on tight, and enjoy the ride!
5. What is the funniest thing that has happened to you when showing a house? It's hard to choose just one! Once I opened a closet and there was a full-size skeleton in the corner. Talk about “a skeleton in your closet!”
6. What's the one piece of technology that you can't live without? My phone. It's amazing how much you can accomplish with just your phone.
7. What is the one truth that's held constant throughout your career? No transaction is ever the same.
