Tell us about your background.
I'm an Owasso native and, minus my college years at Oklahoma State University (Go Pokes!), I have lived here my entire life. At OSU, I obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Marketing and also spent four years in Kansas City starting a business that I owned for 16 years. Getting busier in real estate made it hard to juggle both, so I sold that franchise in 2022 and now focus on selling homes full-time. My husband and I have 5 kids (just two little ones left at home) and we don't know how to sit still. When I'm not running around showing houses, heading to closings, and playing taxi driver for our kids, I wrangle our menagerie of animals (70+ and counting!) and enjoy reading, socializing and planning our next adventure!
What led you to a career in real estate?
You could say that real estate is in my blood. My grandfather owned the first real estate company in Owasso and developed the land my parents and myself now reside on. His three children have all been licensed at one time or another, one of which is my mother who has sold real estate since I was an infant. I grew up making copies and running around the office, toting around abstract books, photocopying my hands, and being in awe of the carbon copies they were required to use at the time.
My mother found abundant success in the real estate industry and, because of that, I grew up swearing I would never do it! Then, as all children seem to do, I became aware of my abilities and realized everything I had learned, both in college and in owning my own business, was now a perfect fit for this industry.
When I sold three of my four Just Between Friends franchises in 2017, everyone kept asking me what was next. My mom kept telling me I should get into real estate and that she'd like to retire someday, so I should come to help her out. By 2018, I concluded that she was probably right and decided to get my license. Once licensed, I told her I was ready and she replied with, "Go find your own clients, I'm not ready to retire yet!"... and so I did!
What sparked your interest in cars? If applicable, tell us the story behind the vehicle you are featuring.
My ride is not so much about loving cars, but about loving to have fun. Recently, I was driving a 'mom car' that was white and an exact match to at least five other SUV's in a grocery store parking lot at any given time. My kids were always trying to get into the wrong car! Dark pink is my favorite color, and I decided there needed to be more fun-colored cars on the road. We get so many looks and my husband, a former Chanel make-up artist, has no qualms about driving such a bright and fun vehicle. We love the looks and conversations it brings while we're rolling down the road!
If applicable, how does your love of cars & career in real estate intertwine?
Real estate can be fun, but we all know it can be super stressful, too! Putting a smile on someone's face is always the right thing to do, whether it's my client, myself, or a stranger. I try to do that both when driving down the road and when negotiating through a difficult situation.
