One thing that I am, is Passionate. When I set my mind to do something, I do it will 10% effort. I think the process through and always try to find better more efficient methods along the way to improve and help my partners. I partner with EALTORS®to help them boost their business, find their niche, discover their passion and find ways to showcase their strengths. It's easier as an "outsider looking in" for me to see the obvious in them. Most of the agents I work with are experiencing a tough plateau, beginning of the career, a rut, or may experience burnout. What many of them discover, is their talent is not lacking, but confidence and consistency will preserver. I help them find their passion and motivation again. I truly love this aspect of my job and thrive on seeing other succeed.
I also provides CE Classes and Marketing support to professionals in the real estate industry. I am very passionate about educating and keeping up-to-date on our current industry. I am license in multiple states to teach our REALTOR® partners their continuing education requirements for their license. In order to do this, i also must be certified in each state I teach as well as understand the laws and regulations for each state as an instructor as well as Loan Officer. While educating the agents, I am able to build a relationship and trust and many of the agent choose to use our for their clientele and their financing needs with the financing on mortgages. This is an excellent strategy to meet many REALTORS® all over the country as well as other Loan Officers who want to mirror our business model. Building relationships and trust is my best strategy to get to more buyers and homeowners that need our assistance. I am Blessed to work with many Vendor partners who also assist in meeting new REALTOR® partners such as Title Companies, Home Warranty companies, Lock Smiths, Permanent Deodorizing Companies and Caterers that assist us in our classes. We provide a ton of knowledge along with food and tons of fun. Come to one of our classes to see how much fun learning can be. I will then set up coaching sessions for your business, social media and much more. I look forward to meeting you.
With Realtors: I am also a Certified Instructor teaching REALTORS® their Continuing Education Courses. I currently am licensed to teach in AZ, CA, WA, CO, and NV. Education is vital in this industry and knowing I can build business partner with Real Estate Agents through education and coaching one on one to assist in building their business, establishing trust, and establishing relationships is where we stand out. Working with Real Estate agents coaching them with their own business, teaching to create business plan, help with their social media marketing and how to tap into their sphere of influence, social media branding. I believe many people want to be successful if they know how to create opportunities. I thrive on creating ideas on how to use the resources already available. Being a business owner can be overwhelming so breaking it down to a simple and easy system to incorporate into their daily, weekly, monthly and annually routine is critical to being successful. I show them these steps to success in a format that is simple and easy.
Within the Community: Back at a younger sister looking up to my AMAZING older sister, she took Sign Language in College as her foreign language. I was so fascinated by the language and the culture, that I too wanted to follow in her footsteps and take in American Sign Language as my foreign language as well. What I did not expect is the true love and PASSION I would gain through learning so much about the Culture, language, Community and the overall people I meet along the way. I was hooked. I took every ASL (American Sign Language) and Deaf Studies course that was provided and fell in love with the Culture and the Community. Since, I have had the wonderful opportunity to volunteer at Arizona School for the Deaf and Blind while going to University of Arizona in college, Phoenix Day School for the Deaf when I moved back to the Phoenix area as well as get involved in many other Deaf Community activities. I currently volunteer and interpret for our Deaf Congregation at my church and truly enjoy staying connected to our Deaf Community. My biggest passion was then combined as I have met many REALTORS® who know and are connected in the Deaf Community and assisting our DEAF clients has to be one of the most rewarding for me. I truly am able to combine two passions of Mortgages and Deaf Community into my career. I feel so fortunate to be in this position and so proud to have the ability to speak another language, and YES ASL is considered it’s own language and it is NOT UNIVERSAL.
Coming from Military family I also enjoy contributing to Wounded Warriors as well as 100 Club of Arizona. Wounded Warriors are for our wounded in the military and the 100 Club of Arizona for our fallen Police Officers, Wounded Police Officers and their families. Coming from military and a father who served 35 years with the City of Phoenix Police Department, these hit very close to the heart. I have many friends in the Police Department and First Responders (brother a fire fighter for more than 22 years). We take care of them and they certainly take care of the community.
I also enjoy participating and volunteering for Desert Harbor Doberman Rescue, Box Lux Rescue, and regularly foster abandoned and “at risk” dogs and place them into loving permanent homes. I love all dogs and believe they all deserve a good home. I do not believe in bad dogs, only bad from the results of bad environment.
In my personal life: In my free time outside of mortgages with clients and Teaching classes for REALTORS®, I enjoy outdoor events. I am avid runner, hiker, cyclist or anything outdoors. Nature has so much beauty and energy that allows me to recharge and continue my busy lifestyle. My family is most important to me.
I am fortunate enough to have a great family life. I was adopted from Seoul, Korea when I was just two years old. My parents are incredible parents who are still alive and in a very loving marriage. I have one brother and sister who are my closest friends.
I also enjoy rescuing and helping dogs. I am a big part of Desert Harbor Doberman Rescue and have a Doberman from the rescue and foster for them when I can. I also volunteer and foster for other dogs in need of a home. Having rescue dogs in my household is a regular routine, currently at 4 rescues.
My other passion in life, as anyone close to me knows, is food. I am 100% a FOODIE! I enjoy trying new food, eating at restaurants, cooking in and eating all kinds of amazing food. Many great events happen around food. Relationships of all kinds, whether family, close friends, colleagues, clients both repeat and new, and many other memorable interactions happen around food. So my motto is “pleasure per calorie”, to east something unhealthy, it better taste REALLY AMAZING! LOL..
Thank you for the compliment of visiting my site. I am thrilled with the opportunity to work with you. Feel free to contact me at and I look forward to meeting you.
