I attribute much of my success to the power of listening—truly listening. In both real estate and property management, people don’t just want to be heard, they want to be understood. I’ve learned that by listening more than I speak, I can better anticipate needs, resolve concerns with clarity, and build long-term trust with clients, tenants, and team members. This value has not only helped me succeed professionally but has shaped how I lead, communicate, and serve. Being an influential woman to me means creating space for others to feel seen and valued—and that always begins with listening.

The best career advice I’ve ever received is: “You’re only as good as your weakest link.” That simple truth has stuck with me throughout my journey and keeps me grounded in humility and growth. It reminds me to stay aware of my team, my systems, and myself—to never get too comfortable. I’ve also learned to always leave room for growth and stay open to learning something new every single day. In this industry, things change fast, and the most influential women are the ones who adapt, evolve, and stay teachable no matter how much success they achieve.

My advice to young women entering this industry is to be consistent and hold fast to your vision. Success doesn’t happen overnight, but staying dedicated to your goals, even when challenges arise, will set you apart. Consistency builds trust and credibility, and having a clear vision gives you direction when the path gets uncertain. Believe in yourself, keep pushing forward, and remember that every step you take brings you closer to the future you’re working to create.

In residential real estate right now, one of the biggest challenges—and opportunities—is navigating the ever-changing market dynamics. With fluctuating interest rates and shifting buyer expectations, staying adaptable is key. At the same time, technology is transforming how we connect with clients and showcase properties, opening new doors for innovative marketing and personalized service. The opportunity lies in embracing these changes while maintaining the personal touch that builds trust. It’s about balancing tradition with innovation to help families find not just houses, but homes.

Integrity is the foundation of everything I do, both in my work and personal life. I believe that staying true to my core values—honesty, respect, and commitment—builds lasting relationships and trust with clients, colleagues, and loved ones. These values guide my decisions and actions every day, helping me to serve others with authenticity and care. To me, success isn’t just about what you achieve, but how you achieve it, and maintaining integrity is at the heart of that journey.
