I knew if I could help someone feel the same joy I did when I bought a home but give them a better experience I would enjoy waking up and working every day.

I moved to Richmond in 2007 to the 13th floor of Brandt Hall with the dream of becoming a fashion designer. That dream quickly faded after I realized it meant I’d spend my nights drawing 30 renderings of the same subject. I quickly switched my major to Mass Comm and repeatedly dreamed of all the businesses I could start, then I got my MBA in Brand Management and dove into finding a corporate job. 

After several failed attempts to fall in love with a 9-5 and climbing the corporate ladder I knew I needed to find something that fulfilled me. While buying my home with my husband I realized that I was so excited to build a home and a space I loved for myself and for him. I also realized the true lack in education and understanding of the process of purchasing a home. As the largest single purchase we make in our lives I found it concerning that there wasn’t more information provided about what to expect along the way to becoming homeowners. With that in mind I made the move to become an entrepreneur as a Real Estate Agent, making the core of my business educating home buyers on the process of purchasing and what it means to become a homeowner. I truly believe that this knowledge gives people confidence when purchasing. That’s why I have developed the Home Schooled E-Course and the Resource Library, so that even people I don’t have the privilege of working with can find the confidence to say “Yes!” when they find their home.

Once a small-town girl, I moved to Richmond in 2007 to the 13th floor of Brandt Hall with the dream of becoming a fashion designer. That dream quickly faded after I realized it meant I’d spend my nights drawing 30 renderings of the same subject. I quickly switched my major to Mass Comm and repeatedly dreamed of all the businesses I could start - pet resort, coffee shop, engagement planning service - but I never actually considered the idea of being an entrepreneur. Instead, I got my MBA in Brand Management and dove into finding a corporate job. 

After several failed attempts to fall in love with a 9-5 gig and climbing the corporate ladder I knew I needed to find something that fulfilled me. I found that “thing” while purchasing my first home. While buying my home with my husband I realized that I was so excited to build a home and a space I loved for myself and my husband; the real estate industry seriously lacked in home buyer education and prep; a career in real estate would allow me to be my own boss.

I knew if I could help someone feel the same joy I did when I bought a home but give them a better experience I would enjoy waking up and working every day. I was sold on becoming a Realtor and, thankfully, so was my husband. I quit my corporate job as a Marketing Director and pursued what has become one of my greatest passions.

In my journey to help people find their homes I have realized the true lack in education and understanding of the process of purchasing a home. As the largest single purchase we make in our lives I find it concerning that there isn’t more information provided about what to expect along the way to becoming homeowners. With that in mind I have made it a core of my business to educate home buyers on the process of purchasing and what it means to become a homeowner. I truly believe that this knowledge gives people confidence and you should be nothing less than confident when you purchase your home. That’s why I have developed the Home Schooled E-Course and the Resource Library, so that even people I don’t have the privilege of working with can find the confidence to say “Yes!” when they find their home.
