Our Story
Our Story
I am a native Chicagoan, raised by working-class parents who migrated from the South, At a point in my life, I found myself divorced with two children and no child support. After working on and off in the real estate industry since 1986 and becoming a real estate broker in 1991, an opportunity arose for me to open a real estate agency in 2002; it was scary, but the best decision for me, It changed my life.
In 2014 after a family member passed away from a heart attack and also suffered from years of addiction. I moved my family to Florida and became the 1st African American licensed Real Estate Instructor in Flagler County, Florida. I began to teach pre-licensing real estate classes and eventually went to work selling new homes for a national builder.
Working in the real estate industry has opened my eyes to the overwhelming need for affordable housing.
