Describe a typical day in your life.

My day starts with a cup of coffee looking out over the beautiful marshes of the Lowcountry while reviewing/ answering emails and matching up new and delayed listings in the MLS to our VIP buyer clients so they get a look at any new inventory that might meet their needs. Then it’s out the door to appointments with buyers and sellers, with time put aside during the day to make sure our closings are under control—all of this, thankfully, with the help of our team assistants and closing coordinator. Home by 7 p.m. or so, a quick walk with the dogs and back on the computer. I truly breath, eat and sleep real estate and love it!

What drives you/makes you excited to start the day?

I absolutely thrive on helping people find their perfect property or helping people set up their home through staging and pricing strategies to successfully sell their home. I enjoy working through the challenges and problem solving that can come up along the way. We know buying or selling a home is stressful, and the goal on my team is to be there to solve issues as well as celebrate with our clients.

Did you have a mentor—someone who really helped you along the path to entrepreneurship?

My father.

Tell us something you wish you had known when you started on your career path—a bit of advice for other women in business. Start your career on a team. Real estate is not just showing/selling pretty homes. When people trust you with one of their largest assets, you take on a lot of responsibility to your client to be knowledgeable and provide sound advice. Go slowly and learn.
