Most rewarding part of what you do? Real estate is a relationship business. I am fortunate to have many years of success with both buyers and sellers. The most rewarding and exciting times are helping my clients find their dream homes and being a part of that joy, and it’s an honor to showcase our community. I also love helping my seller by easing the burden of selling, maximizing their return, and helping them move into the next phase of their lives.

How should women support other women? It’s important women be mutually respectful and professional with each other. While we are competitors, we are also colleagues. Mentoring new people in the business is a great way we can all improve and pay it forward.

Greatest risk you’ve taken as a professional? To be successful in residential real estate, I knew I needed to invest financially. In the beginning, it was a challenge to see financial gain, but I knew I had to invest to grow my business. Best piece of advice for anyone starting out? Stay true to your core values. Build your business with integrity, confidence, respect, and kindness. Never stop learning and growing both personally and professionally. Also, don’t assume who will do business with you and who won’t. Focus on developing positive relationships in every aspect of your life.
