What Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up?

Who knew I would take after my dad and be a Realtor? I think Dad knew.

That is why from the young age of 8, he had me in the business, cleaning the office. Dad called it "cleaning the office", I called it scrubbing the toilets!" However by the time I turned ten, I began to "move up the corporate ladder." I got to answer the phones on summer breaks and, by 13, I was helping "file" in the closing department. To say the least, Dad believed in having me "earn my keep." Looking back, I wouldn't change a thing! Not only did I always have a job; I had the opportunity to undergo a tremendous learning experience. I can remember giving a speech in high school, "How to sell your home." I think the teachers even learned something that day.

The learning experience would prove to guide the course of my collegiate studies. After obtaining my associate degree at Northwestern MI College in Traverse City, I ventured down to Central Michigan University where I obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Interior Design and Industrial Engineering. While at CMU, I became a member of the Gamma Omnicron NU Honor Society and the Social Event Officer of the ZTA Sorority. I also had the privilege of doing an internship at a very prestigious design firm, "Puffs of Petoskey", where I had the opportunity to join the Puff's team of associates but something inside led me back home to Deed (and my Dad). In addition to joining the Deed team in 1994, I received my Residential Builder's license, became a Graduate Realtor (GRI), and an Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR). In 2005, I earned my Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES) designation.

As you can see, I have had many years of experience in the Real Estate field. You should feel confident knowing that I am experienced to handle all of your housing needs. I personally look forward to serving you and your family's needs throughout your transactions with Deed.
