The purpose of the Awards Program is to showcase the importance of ethical business practices and businesses who consumers believe have gone above and beyond to ensure our marketplace remains fair and honorable to everyone. This is an amazing opportunity to celebrate those companies in our region who operate with true integrity.
I am so blessed that I was nominated for Better Business Bureau Award for Excellence in the Small Business category. There are four businesses that were nominated for the Small Business category, and I would be truly honored to win this award. I am reliable and ready full-time REALTOR®. My goal is for my clients to be at ease during the real estate transaction. I strive to make my clients feel like their time, questions and concerns the utmost priority. I also do my personal best to have effective communication, maintain professionalism, and constantly continue to learn about real estate. Being reliable and ready is not only my motto, but it is how I live my life. In my business, I constantly go above and beyond for my clients, brokerage, Greater Tyler Association of REALTORS, my church, and my local community. When others stand by, I step up.
If I won a BBB Award of Excellence, it would truly differentiate me as a REALTOR. In the real estate industry, it is very competitive. Not only would this instill immediate trust with potential clients; but also other REALTORS® as well.
Honestly, my clients’ testimonialstruly express how I am before, during, and after the real transaction.
Please take an opportunity to review the other candidates, and please vote!

“Reliable and Ready” REALTOR® since 2016. I was born in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, but was raised in Texas since 1997. When I found out we were moving to Plano, Texas, I remember looking forward to riding a horse to school and a brand-new pair of cowboy boots! Growing up in Plano prepared me to be competitive, quick, and to have a strong work ethic.
I graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas. Axe’em Jacks! That is where my love for East Texas began. The nature, warm smiles, football games, and community values can't be beat! I graduated summa cum laude with a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies. I was a middle school math teacher in Tyler, Texas. I met my husband, Travis, in Sunday school, and we have been married since September 2016.
I love being a REALTOR® in East Texas! Relationships are genuine, the area is beautiful, and the market is rockin’! I am an involved REALTOR® to better the community. Some of the organizations I am involved with are: The Professional Development Committee, Texas Real Estate Political Action Committee, and Tyler Educational Networking Group. Some awards I have won were “The Hustle Award” in 2016, and “Rookie of the Year” in 2017.
When I am not working with my clients, I like to spend quality time with my friends and family doing the following: running, target practice, read and participate in book club, and playing with my dachshund Greta.
