What makes you successful?
The first two words of my mission statement, “helping people”. Each time I have the opportunity to help our clients achieve their goals, help a team member grow personally and professionally, mentor or speak publically to motivate or help others be the best they can be is when I feel the most inspired, excited and fulfilled.
What do you love most about your work?
I love all the smiles. People are happy when they successfully sell for top dollar or find the home of their dreams and my team has been creating smiles for over 30 years. I also love leading a team with my greatest pleasure being watching them become better at real estate than I am.

What is your passion in life?
Being in momentum and doing the next right thing. It’s amazing how much better life is when you use your energy for growth and make decisions to choose “the next right thing” such as: kind thoughts, generosity, patience, courage, wisdom, love, faith.
From where do you draw inspiration?
Knowing where my currencies come from and how to invest them. Each day God gives me five currencies: Time, Energy, Effort, Focus and Money. When those currencies are used up, that’s all there is; therefore, I am very intentional about how I start my day, what I eat, what I fill my brain with, who I spend my time with and how I steward money to ensure the best life possible for me and my team.
What would be your alternative career?
Jokingly I say that I plan to die putting a sold sign on someone’s house. There is nothing else I wish to do.
