Cassie, Jeremy, and their two children, Cadence and Jalen, can often be found hiking around Lake Fairfield with their fur babies Buddy, a black lab & Turbo, a terrier/Yorkie mix. The family kitties, Myla, Kuna, and Blackjack, stay behind and hold down the fort while they are away. Cassie also enjoys gardening, camping, bowling, traveling, concerts, and of course, shopping! Her down-to-earth personality, perseverance, and willingness to go the extra mile make her a great addition to Silver Creek Real Estate Group.
