Growing up with a large family — cousins, aunts, uncles, second cousins — there’s always someone who knows someone who does something. My immediate family was always involved with real estate. My parents owned investment properties, rentals, and did developments. My mom sold homes “back when interest rates were 18 percent.” She’s always reminding me how good we have it now.

I feel as though I have Real Estate in my blood. I sold my first house in one week when I was in college. I’ve always been interested in what homes sold for, when they were built, and the character inside of each home; they’re all so different. I also love marketing and sales. So, it only seemed a natural fit for me to take my career path into real estate after graduating college.

I was schooled and licensed in June of 2006 at The Michigan Group, just as the market was beginning to make a change that many people had never experienced before. Luckily, I was able to take advantage and learn from the teachers, coaches, attorney, and managers on staff. Immediately, I began working with a team as an assistant and a buyer’s agent, learning a lot from Realtors who had many years of experience. Later, I managed a successful team of 23 agents and their 60+ listings. They always say, if you can manage Realtors, you can do just about anything.

Since then, The Michigan Group joined with RE/MAX Platinum, providing even more benefits, and with four locations, we have a large market domination.

I have also branched out with my own group. We have listing agents, buyer’s agents, and more professional resources than one person could ever need. Most importantly, I love what I do every day; not always all day every day, but I definitely love what I do, every day. With a 100 percent success rate, I think that it shows. You won’t find anyone who is more dedicated and will work harder to help you achieve your goal.

When it’s warm out, I really enjoy spending time on the lake with my family and friends. I enjoy cooking and getting creative in the kitchen, hosting parties, intimate gatherings, and helping couples plan weddings. I have an everlasting love for dogs and horses, and have also owned some more exotic animals.

There’s not much that I’m afraid of, and I’ll usually push the envelope, especially when I’m fighting for something that’s right. I’m a big supporter of education. I love to write, read, and tutor. Most importantly, I’m great at working with people. I enjoy working by referral because I’ve had the opportunity to work with such great people. In this market, things are always changing, so I’m always looking for the next challenge.

And lastly, my favorite words to live by: “He never said it would be easy, He said it would be worth it.”
