It doesn’t matter where you are in your business or personal life, these three words can impact every decision you make, every door you decide to open or close, and every path you take.

This all started because I answered an ad in the newspaper.
I have been in real estate for almost 17 years. Before real estate I was a stay-at-home mom which I loved! Being a stay-at-home mom gave me an opportunity for a new career choice.
