My Dad loved real estate and when I was growing up we would go for walks to the local coffee shop, grab a drink and open the real estate section of the newspaper. Who knew that this time spent with my father would end up with me becoming a REALTOR. We would analyze properties, evaluate possible rates of return and evaluate the strength of it as an investment. If it was not a good investment we would determine changes to the property or at what price point the property would need to make it a good investment. It was our little game, it was fun, and I got to spend a lot of quality time with my Dad! This experience with my Dad lead me to reading every book I could on the subject and once I graduated from high school I studied to get my real estate license in Portland Oregon. By the time I turned 19 I was a licensed real estate agent and the youngest agent at the local Century 21 office in Portland Oregon. Unfortanatly life had other plans when cancer turned my life upside down. Three months later I was diagnosed with testicular cancer and spent several years fighting for my life! In the midst of my battle I decided to get my finance degree and between treatments and surgeries I obtained a diploma from Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches TX. I relocated to Houston and began climbing the corporate lader in O&G. All went well for 15 years then it all came crumbling down and I was out of work! I decided to get back into real estate and WOW what a difference!!! I love my profession! I love helping families! And I love the connection between my long conversations with my Dad and my new found profession. As a REALTOR I use my corporate background with my Finance degree and blend it with the fun times I had with my Dad and experiences of fighting/beating cancer. All of this combined makes me the kind of person you want in your corner. I am Analytical, Detailed, Proactive, Fun, Kind, Tough, and a Winner. What can I do for you? Call me at 832-452-0709.
