Broker
After spending 20+ years in the hospitality management field, I obtained my Real Estate Salesperson license through The Real Estate Training Institute in 2005. I absolutely love the real estate business. I get a tremendous sense of accomplishment helping others achieve their goals of home ownership.
In 2013 I received my broker’s license and opened up my own brokerage, Capstone Realty. It was one of the happiest times in my life. Shortly after, I started teaching with The Real Estate Training Institute and found that my passion in life is teaching and sharing with others the knowledge that I have gained through my Real Estate experiences.
Early 2016 I joined Keller Williams in the capacity of CEO/Career Development where I could leverage my joy of teaching. I would not be where I am today without the quality of education I received from The Real Estate Training Institute. The doors of RETI are the doors to an amazing career for those who choose to walk through them.Read moreRead lessEducation:- Broker - Mississippi
