Tell us one of your client success stories or an interesting moment in your profession.
One of most memorable moments as a real estate professional was when I worked with a single mom named Darlene. Although Darlene had great credit she was very afraid and feared that she would not be able to buy a home for her and her daughters. I simply kept telling her that she had to have FAITH. Before Darlene and I went out to look at property, I asked her if I could pray for her. While I prayed in our chapel in my real estate office, my client cried like a baby. Long story short, we found a house the very same day and Darlene closed on her first home in less than 7 days. This was 6 years ago, Darlene and I still keep in touch and she has referred me a number of single moms over the years!

Who or what inspires you the most?
Nelson Mandela said:
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us...You are a child of GOD. Your Playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us....And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
What is the best advice you ever received?
When I first started as a real estate professional, my husband told me that if I focus on servicing the people, the money would follow!! He was right!
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
I would live in a place that has moderate tempertures year round, with as little traffic congestion and smog as possible. That place sounds like the city I currently reside in :)
