We have been on a wonderful journey together and have achieved so much. Every accomplishment we reach motivates us to continue working hard and setting even greater goals for ourselves.

Jason and I met at a real estate convention for United Country Real Estate in 2016. I was working as a vendor for a credit repair company, and Jason was attending because he was the CFO for United Country. Our paths crossed, and we hit it off. Many of our values and goals are aligned. From the very beginning of our relationship, we have encouraged one another to grow and become better versions of ourselves.

My background in real estate was quite extensive at that point, including the industries of title insurance, mortgage and credit repair. Jason has been the Operations CFO for United Real Estate Group since 2007. While working around real estate for so long, we both had developed an interest in becoming agents. Together, we decided it was the perfect time to get our REALTORS® licenses and continue expanding our knowledge of the real estate industry.

We became licensed in 2016 as REALTORS®. It was exciting working together and beginning the process of growing our client base. Our combined expertise and real estate backgrounds allowed us to provide a valuable service to our clients. As spouses and business partners, we truly balance one another.

It wasn’t long after becoming REALTORS® that I found out I was pregnant. It was completely unexpected because I had been told I may not be able to have children. At age 43, we had our son, Crosby, in 2017 – it was a very exciting time. I loved staying home with him as often as possible. On occasion, we simply brought Crosby along, and other times one would stay back with Crosby and the other was able to meet with clients. We make a great team.

Jason encouraged me to take the leap and make real estate my full-time job. It didn’t make sense to spread myself so thin when we already had a growing business with high potential. Since starting, we had doubled our business each year. We needed extra support to maintain our momentum. He knew my true passion was to help people. I was more nervous than he was because it felt like a risky decision to leave behind a stable job, but Jason never doubted me for a second. That is what I love most about our partnership. We always encourage one another to keep improving and reaching our fullest potential.

When I made the transition, I was amazed at how quickly our business continued to grow. It wasn’t long after that I got my first $1 million-deal. It helped confirm to me that this was where I truly excelled. I love working with people and making their real estate goals happen, all while having the support and assistance from my husband along the way.We are grateful every day for how far we have come and the achievements we have made along the way. Our journey hasn’t always been easy, but we always have each other to lean on in hard times. We have so many goals for the future and can’t wait to see just how much we can achieve. We both enjoy going to concerts, traveling, doing anything outdoors, and spending time together as a family.

Just three years ago, we purchased a home to live in while renovating, raising a toddler, and staying married. From first-hand experience, we know the process isn’t over even after the transaction is. Whether you are buying or selling, we want to support you and offer our professional services every step of the way and even after. Our goal is to make the process as stress-free as possible and help you handle even the smallest detail by providing helpful resources and guidance.

The most rewarding part of working in real estate is being a part of someone’s journey and making a real difference in their lives. With our extensive backgrounds in real estate, we offer our clients an educational experience providing knowledge that can make all the difference. We know what it’s like to find your dream home, and we want everyone to experience that moment of pride when they realize their goals have been achieved. Even when the transaction is over, we are committed to serving as your lifelong REALTORS® by offering our support into the next phase of your journey.

Sincerely,
