What is your greatest accomplishment in real estate?

While I am proud of every stage of my real estate career, my greatest accomplishment was most likely taking over management of a 10-office region and growing it to 13 offices, taking it from $700 million to $1.6 billion in annual sales volume, growing the agent base by 40 percent from 500 to 700, opening new offices and expanding to new territories quickly and with great success.

As a top agent, I ranked in the top 21 in my company (out of 1,700 agents) and in the top 5 percent nationally. As a top managing broker and regional manager, my team and I received the Top Office and Top Region Awards annually for leading in sales, profitability, and mortgage, title and insurance adoption and referral rates.

Ultimately, my greatest accomplishment has been taking my drive, passion and purpose of a 20-year plan to create this national speaking, coaching and consulting business to share my systems and solutions with others to accelerate their growth potential. I love to challenge and inspire others to reach their goals and literally change their lives.
