Having the influence of a family-owned and operated business for most of her life, she developed a strong sales background and a determination to succeed, opening the door for her to own her own real estate, commercial and residential properties prior to getting licensed. She understands that every transaction will have challenges and her extensive background in customer relations, retail sales and marketing has made a her a skilled negotiator with excellent problem-solving skills that can help you overcome any obstacle and get you to the closing table.
