Rest assured that while I am representing you in your real estate transaction, it will be all about You. However, my tech advisors tell me I should include some background about me.
I was born and raised in Pine City, NY, a tiny place near Elmira that wasn't even on a map until a few years ago. I lived with my family (5 brothers, 2 sisters) in a small home in the country, down a dirt road, on 106 acres. We had only one neighbor within sight.
Like most teenagers, I didnt appreciate the land and the seclusion, and I moved away as soon as I became old enough to attend college. I was the only one in my family to attend and graduate from college. Even though all my parents friends urged me to go to college where the weather was warm, I finally decided on Potsdam College, a state school in the northernmost (and coldest) part of New York. I loved going to school there, and graduated with honors with a degree in Math and Secondary education.
I completed my student teaching in Utica, NY, and found teaching positions in Frankfort and Herkimer, small towns east of Utica. I loved teaching; what I did not love was getting up before the sun, the administration, and the low pay. After two years of teaching, I decided to embark on a new career. I did not think of real estate immediately, but it didnt take me long. I had always been fascinated by real estate, and thought it would be a glamorous career. I worked 3 or 4 jobs at all times during those first couple of years. It was extremely tough, but I instantly fell in love with the business, and never looked back. Before long, I was one of the top 12% of Realtors in that area.
In 1995, I moved to Cary, North Carolina with my husband and 4 month old baby girl. We needed a change of scenery (less snow, more sun) and a better job market for my husband. We picked Cary because, even then, it was touted as being one the top 10 places to live in America. Having already been a part of the professional and reputable RE/MAX organization in NY, I went straight to the RE/MAX office in Cary to begin my work as a North Carolina Real Estate Agent. This office later became RE/MAX UNITED. With the 7 years experience I already had, I quickly became one of the top producers. I recently joined Barton Estate Realty and am currently the leader of my own real estate team within the company.
For many reasons, I am so glad I moved to Cary. First and foremost, (and if you have ever lived in Central NY, you will understand this!) the sunshine! Even when it is freezing in NC, it is almost always sunny. Other reasons include, of course, the climate, the fact that something beautiful is always blooming, the nearby beaches, the mountains, the low crime rate, and the quality of life.
Currently, I am a divorced mother of two terrific girls, ages 18 & 21. When they were younger, they attended Wake County magnet schools (Daniels and Broughton). My oldest just graduated with a psychology degree from the University of NC at Wilmington. She plans to go on to Graduate School and become a psychologist who will provide therapy to teenagers. My youngest also attends UNCW, but is currently studying abroad in Albury Wodonga, Australia.
Each is involved in many activities like softball, soccer, basketball, volleyball and swimming.
We all attend Hope Community Church on Buck Jones Road in Cary/Raleigh, whenever they are "home".
My hobbies include real estate investing, volleyball, softball, cornhole, billiards, golf, reading, crocheting, gardening and playing Wii games with my girls.
My current real estate designations include CRS, ABR, RE/MAX Hall of Fame, e-PRO, and leader of the Tina Hackett Real Estate Team.
My slogan is New Fangled TechnologyOlde Fashioned Service. I believe technology should be embraced because of its many benefits, but not at the expense of personalized individual service.
So thats a little about me. But remember, when you are my client, it is all about You!
