Why did you become a realtor?: I became a realtor to provide a higher quality of service to customers who are dealing with stressful life situations. My own life experiences have shown me how cutthroat and money hungry some realtors are. I realized that there was empathy and compassion needed that was lacking in my transactions before I was an agent. I also became a realtor to help provide myself with a quality balanced life.

Where do you like to travel?: When I get the opportunity it is usually a week long only so it limits to where I can go so anything that sits in the Gulf of Mexico, The Carribean Sea or Maui. I am going to travel for longer durations which will take me to Greece and Norway for sure.

What’s one thing most people don’t know about you?: I have been wanting to write a book about my experiences in life. I would imagine there would be a few people lined up to pay me not to write it!

What is your favourite part of selling real estate?: My favorite part isn’t the selling of anything, my favorite part is getting to know people on an intimate level…. this is the magic for me… I make beautiful connections while helping them with their dreams and changes through life.

What are your favourite books, movies, shows, bands?: “The Power of Now” by Eckhart Tolle and “Women Who Run With the Wolves” by Clarissa Pinkola Estes. I do not watch much, but The Sandlot, Big Fish, Avatar was pretty amazing. Jurassic Park is the scariest I like to go..lol. Favorite local band is Shoot the Lights Out and for others I love so many ranging from Colter Wall to Ray Charles to Gwen Steffani.
