I graduated from College in 1991. I studied and worked in an office setting for a Government Funded program for 10 years.
After 10 years, I felt I was missing something. I wasn’t fulfilled and I was looking for something different, something more. I wanted the freedom to live my life on my terms and I wanted to help people.
In 2002, there were a lot of government cutbacks, restructuring, and job losses and unfortunately, my position was eliminated
The search began for another job. I was ready to settle and accept another office job. I went to countless interviews for another office job but it never felt right.
Just as I thought I would be working in another office environment, I was approached by a local Realtor®. This meeting changed my life. He was looking for an assistant to help him with his day-to-day duties. The catch was that I had to go get licensed as a Realtor®. He didn’t just want an assistant, he wanted a business partner.
I didn’t know it at the time but this was exactly what I was looking for.
After receiving my license in 2003, my new business partner and I opened up a Real Estate Office. Together, we built and managed a very successful Real Estate business for 14 years. I learned so much from him. He was a great teacher.
After 14 years, it was time to do my own thing. My business partner and I were at a point where we wanted different things in our business lives and it was time to go our separate ways.
It wasn’t easy to be on my own as a Realtor®, but I learned to persevere. Just like it’s not easy to take the step to make changes in your living situation.
Back in 2012, my husband and I decided to downsize from our 1700-square-foot home.
It was too big to maintain and we felt like we were working just to pay off the big house.
The house was expensive and we were just the 2 of us.
We wanted to live a more simple life and travel.
The search began and we ended up in a 1000-square-foot home
It took time to adjust to the size, but it’s a decision we never regretted.
Having been through that experience, I feel strongly about helping others in the same situation. Even if you’ve bought and sold many times.
There can be doubts and fears. But with the right person by your side and with the knowledge and experience that I provide, it can be a great step towards your financial freedom
That’s why I love helping homeowners achieve their goals and helping them downsize so they can live their best lives.
