What moment from your lives made the biggest impact on your career? Speaking for the majority, the very rst
home sale made a big impact on each of
us and is one of the best memories for any agent. There is something special about knowing that you helped someone achieve their own level of success for the rst time that you will never forget. From the rst time home buyer to second home for a perfect getaway, each client we help holds a special place in our hearts.
What we like best about what we
do is: Being real estate agents, we have the chance to help others. Helping others turn the pages of their stories is certainly a challenge but also very rewarding.
What are your favorite things to do on the Coast? We all like to spend our time at the local restaurants, shops and businesses. We believe in supporting our community and volunteer on many levels. We support Animal Shelters, King’s Kitchen, Habitat for Humanity, the Boys and Girls Club, and many other community-driven groups.
Advice we would give to young female entrepreneurs: Always be willing to take a calculated risk. No risk; no reward. The best things come from a little risk, a lot of hard work and a touch of tenacity.
It’s important to support other woman-owned businesses because: Lifting, empowering, encouraging, and supporting others is always very important.
