Ten minutes with Nancy

01What do you attribute your success to?

My success comes from my education and the strong work ethic instilled in me by my parents. They taught me that I could do anything I put my mind to, and that self-reliance has been invaluable throughout my career in both law and real estate.

02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?

Especially for women, I want to inspire them to get involved in real estate. The best way to start is house hacking, whether you buy a duplex and rent part of it out to build income, or do an Airbnb. It's all about getting that seed money so you can move forward, instead of just relying on a 401K or pension.
