OWEN & CO., LLC REAL ESTATE
2208 18th St., Gulfport 228.822.9870 www.owenandco.com
The real estate business has been deeply rooted in my family. My husband’s father and uncle were involved in various aspects
of the industry. My father was a draftsman and contractor and now, 35 years later, I nd myself tracking the same footsteps.
I enjoy my profession and each day presents a di erent challenge that allows me to work with people from di erent walks
of life. My work has evolved so that I now have the pleasure of working with the adult children of my clients.
The current market on the Mississippi Gulf Coast is very exciting and the opportunities are at the highest peak I have experienced in many years. It is not uncommon to encounter prospective purchasers vying for the same properties which, quite often, will generate o ers greater than the list price.
I am a fervent supporter of women in the business world. I encourage other women to stay the course and I try to instill that same philosophy in my daughters and granddaughters. I really believe that God should be rst in your life, and with that there is nothing one cannot accomplish.
My profession is important, but it ranks behind the blessings I have received through my seventeen grandchildren. When I tell others I have seventeen grandchildren, they are usually shocked. My grandchildren are so much a part of my life and are such a blessing.
