By Kemmie Ryan
CARRIE KENNA and ELIZABETH BURKE teamed up in 2014 to bring together Carrie’s 25 years of real estate and home building experience with Elizabeth’s lifelong passion for education. Together, they bring their clients a wellspring of positive energy, financial know-how, and complete dedication through Kenna Homes with @properties Christie’s International Real Estate.
What is your business style?
We’re extremely client focused. We don’t run an exceedingly huge business to ensure that we have time to give personal attention to each client.
How do you impact you clients?
We hope our biggest impact is helping people find the next right home for each stage in life. Additionally, we’re always striving to do what’s right for our clients in volatile markets and ensure they don’t make emotional decisions by overpaying or making a purchase that won’t be long-term enough to be a good financial decision.
What are your greatest wins?
The greatest wins have been over this past season. We often felt like hamsters on a wheel but kept our motto up of ‘the right thing always works out’ and—as we’re going into a softer market— we genuinely feel like all of our clients have found the right home for their family’s needs.
What influenced your path to success?
Elizabeth: As a child, I loved going to open houses with my mom. There would be many summer days spent driving around looking at houses and those were the best days for both of us—we do the same thing 25 years later!
What advice would you give to future Power Women?
Lean on other women when they offer support and always support your fellow women. When we lift each other up, we will all go further.
