In what ways do you stand out in your market?

My business partner, George, and I run our team with a white-glove, concierge-level customer service approach above everything else. Buying or selling a home can be extremely stressful, and we ensure that this process is professional, easy and as fun as it possibly can be. That level of service has contributed to our success in this field, since 90% of our business comes from referrals. 


What struggles have you faced?

I think my biggest challenge, both personally and professionally, is the constant push and pull of a successful career and also being a mom of two children, one of whom is a special-needs child. My daughter has a very rare seizure disorder and is on the spectrum, and the balancing act that is required is intense at times! While it is a mountain to climb, these challenges have made me who I am today, and I wouldn’t change any of it.


How do you foster a positive work environment?

It is a priority that I have a positive attitude, and my team knows that is what they are going to get from me every single day. Real estate is not an easy business. However, most stress will come from the way that you respond, not from the actual situation. Adjust the lens, change how you see things, look for the positive in every situation—that will foster a positive work environment.
