WHO IS
It all started when...
I decided to leave the corporate world and start my own business. I had wanted to do this for years- but it was scary and I was petrified! By putting one foot of the other I focused on getting it started and immersed myself. I forgot about fear and felt like I was flying- I still do to this day. It's a feeling so hard to put into words- think ecstatic.
All of those boring corporate jobs- 15 years worth of them was about to pay off. You know how they say once you learn how to ride a bike you can do it with your eyes closed? It's the same with business, marketing, networking, sales and the like. You don't just speak that language you breathe it.
People ask- how did you do this, how can I duplicate it, and a ton of other questions. The truth is that there is so much already in my DNA I'm not sure I could begin to define every accomplished feat.
For now what I will say is that I have an incredible team that works with me and we craft a serious product. Whether you're buying/selling a home, looking for vacation rentals, or to design your home, commercial space, or airbnb- I promise we will exceed your expectations.
