I was blessed to attend college. I was just a farmers daughter. My mother didn’t even finish the 9th grade. Coming from a town of 400 in Iowa it seemed like a far away dream to realize. I pushed myself and was able to pay my own way through college and obtain 4 degrees, all in community service. A bachelors degree in Criminal Justice, a bachelors degree in Political Science, and two Applied Science degrees in Psychology and Sociology.
With my degrees, my extroverted personality and my strong sense of justice working in Real Estate was a perfect fit for me. Helping people. 
After finding myself as a single mother raising two little girls the flexibility it offered was perfect. In Real Estate I take an advisory position and approach for all of my clients. Each one has a different set of obstacles or needs. That’s why I started my boutique real estate company. No client needs cookie-cutter services. My goal was to lead people to a path of making good decisions for themselves about the biggest investments in their lives. Educate them to the pitfalls when buying and selling, how to save money, how to choose a good agent or if they even need one at all.

I’ve seen A LOT in my real estate career. 10 years now. Some great things and a lot of things that make me want to pull my hair out. Whether it be because of a greedy or unknowledgeable agent or just an uneducated buyer or seller making the wrong decisions. I ask myself how can we do better in this industry for the people we have a fiduciary responsibility toward. What should buyers and sellers look for and how can they become more educated when it comes to real estate.
