As a seasoned professional with a profound understanding of both numbers and people, I bring a bit of a different skill set to the table. Real estate is more than just transactions; it’s about forging lasting relationships and guiding buyers and sellers (and also REALTORS®) towards their goals. In an industry characterized by constant change, my team and I stay ahead of the curve, offering proactive solutions and unwavering support every step of the way. My background helps me achieve my part in this.I grew up in Sandy Hook, MS and graduated from Columbia Academy in 1999. Being raised in a family of licensed contractors and business owners, I learned first hand the grit that’s required to chase your dreams. After earning my B.S.B.A. / Accounting from Southern Miss, I worked in the accounting field for many years - first doing internal audits with Sanderson Farms, then in a Senior Accountant position with South Central Regional Medical Center, and finally doing cost accounting and financial analysis at Forrest General Hospital. At the end of 2012, I obtained my real estate license and began working with Coldwell Banker Don Nace, Inc. Realtors under local legends Gwen James and Don Nace. The plan was to learn as much as I could and eventually purchase the company. I became a licensed broker in 2014 and took over ownership in 2015. I’m proud that our brokerage continues to embody integrity, professionalism, and an unshakable commitment to excellence.During my real estate career, I’ve served on many committees and task forces, as well as the Board of Directors, for both the Hattiesburg Area Association of Realtors and the Mississippi Association of Realtors. I’ve earned my Real Estate Negotiation Expert (RENE) and Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR) designations, was a graduate of the 2014 Leadership MAR class, and was awarded the Mississippi Realtors Under 40 award in 2016. I’ve also served on the Board of Directors for the Area Development Partnership and a couple of local non-profits and am currently a member of a task force with the Secretary of State’s office.If you’re in the market to buy or sell property, I’d love to talk with you about what sets me and my team apart. If you’re an agent looking for a new brokerage home or someone thinking about getting your license, I’d love to chat with you, as well!
