I began my real estate career in 1989 and opened an office in 1992 serving primarily Johnson, Hill & Ellis Counties. I partnered with Dream Builders Custom Homes in developing Beacon Ridge Estates, a residential subdivision in Grandview. My sales experience is wide-ranging in the residential, farm & ranch, commercial and property management arenas.
I have served as chair or co-chair for numerous committees with the Ellis and Johnson County Realtor Associations. My passion is for Professional Standards and Ethics which represent to me what is commonly referred to as the Golden Rule and establishes for business relationships what the Bible sets forth for life itself. I have served as TREPAC and Governmental Affairs chairperson for JCAR as well as the Professional Standards Committee at the State lever. I consider being President of the Johnson County Association of Realtors in 2009 one of my most cherished, and challenging accomplishments. I have participated in candidate interviews for state and local elections and am proud to have been nominated 3 years for Realtor of the Year of the Johnson County Association.
My real estate education designations include GRI (Graduate, REALTORS Institute through Texas Association of Realtors), ABR (Accredited Buyers Representative Designation through REBAC), SFR (Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource Certification through National Association of Realtors) and RE/MAX Broker Management Training. Over the course of my real estate career, I have mentored many agents who have become quite successful in this great industry.
In August, 2010, my business partner Kay Trawick and I purchased a RE/MAX franchise. RE/MAX Heartland is the first national franchise other than the petroleum industry to be operated in Grandview. I have also been the Owner/Publisher of the oldest newspaper in Johnson County, The Grandview Tribune since 2005. I am an active member of the Greater Grandview Chamber of Commerce and the Grandview Lions Club and am past president of both. I am in my 9th year on the United Way of Johnson County Board of Directors serving the past five years as Allocations Chair. I was also the City of Grandview Type A Economic Development President for 6 years, appointed to the Grandview ISD Site-Based Committee and chaired the School Health Advisory Council. I am grateful for the opportunity to give back to the communities who have so graciously blessed me and my family.
Far greater in my life than any business, committee, chair position, office or appointment, are the Lord Jesus Christ, my family and my church. My husband Dave and I have three sons and raised two of our 9 grandchildren. I am an active member of Chambers Creek Baptist Church where I have taught children, youth and adult Bible study classes, served several terms on the Prayer Ministry team and the Church Council Governing Board.
