Hi There!
My home town is in Southern California. I was educated in Psychology at Fullerton College, in Communications at Chaffey College and in Theatre at California State University, San Bernardino. From 1979-97 I was a Southern California radio air personality. (I currently have 2 globally broadcast Internet radio shows on www.BounceRadio.net ) I've lived in the Bullhead City/Fort Mohave AZ/Laughlin NV area since 1993. I'm in my 9th year as a REALTOR and my fifth as a Broker. After receiving excellent real estate training at one of the best local independent companies, then moving on to an internationally known mega-office, I opened my own company in 2005. I am the Owner/DB of Next Wave Real Estate Investments, LLC, located in Fort Mohave, AZ between Bullhead City and Mohave Valley.
And the pooch is Luna, my 5 year old Chow/Pit/Lab.

My Story And I'm Sticking To It - Interview With Candice :)
In 1983, Candice was bitten by the real estate 'bug' as a radio air personality broadcasting live from a new home development in Palm Springs, CA, although it would be nine years before she would act on it. After attending college, university and radio broadcasting school in Southern CA, Candice taught Communications, Commercial Acting and Personal Development classes for four Los Angeles area modeling institutes and held onsite image development seminars for local businesses. Candice also spent ten (total 30+ years) as a top rated radio air personality in Southern California and Western Arizona. She appeared in two feature films, The Blues Brothers Movie and Fatal Beauty, and co-hosted six local telethons for the Muscular Dystrophy Association and United Cerebral Palsy. Candice began her real estate career at a large property management firm in Orange County, CA where she learned the fundamentals of leasing, fair housing and representation. In the mid 1990s, as a freelance writer and editor, part of Candice's job was to transmit copy online. As the Internet began to change how business was done globally, Candice picked up skills by joining online communities on AOL, Prodigy and other BBS as she worked for large east and west coast publishing houses from her Southwest home. Because of her online skills, she became a trusted colleague and valuable team member. When Candice obtained her Arizona real estate license in 2001, her first order of business was to differentiate herself from competitors boasting neighborhood familiarity and years of experience. The obvious choice for Candice was to take her real estate business online, where she had a leaps-and-bounds advantage. Candice's first educational goal in real estate was to earn her ePro Certification in 2002. She quickly became well known in her Bullhead City, AZ market as 'the online REALTOR', designed a one-of-a-kind top local website and powered up her real estate business, closing over 80% of her transactions online and building a strong referral and client base in her first two years. In 2004, Candice earned her broker's license and opened Next Wave Real Estate Investments in 2005. As Designated Broker, Candice employs only ePro Certified agents. A 'boutique' office, Next Wave thrives via referral business, much drawn from the thousands of agents with whom she has developed relationships over the past eight years. Candice was instrumental in forming the Bullhead City/Mohave Valley Association of REALTORS inaugural Technology Committee, serving as Chair in 2006 and 2007. As an association Director, Candice is sought after for participation in task forces. She created the Association's first Orientation PowerPoint presentation. Candice teaches MLS Basic, Advanced and CMA courses for the Association. In 2006, Candice earned her Certification as an ePro Trainer, incorporating ePro Technology Workshops into New Member Orientation and MLS courses offered by the Association. In late 2006, after completing the course work for Commercial Sales Certification at the Commercial Real Estate Institute in Phoenix, Candice was invited to join the faculty as a Client Communications/Technology instructor and is approved by the Arizona Department of Real Estate as an instructor. In early 2009, Candice was selected by the Bullhead City Mohave Valley Association of REALTORS to represent the Association as a member of the Western Arizona REALTOR Data Exchange (WARDEX) Board of Directors. As a well known local broker, Candice is quick to lend a hand to members needing technology assistance.

Mike Moloney has endorsed your work as Instructor at Commercial Real Estate Institute. "Candice Donofrio is a great real estate instructor, particularly in the area of the use of 21st century technology in real esate practice. When you see her teaching, take the opportunity to attend. PS: SHe is also a terrific real estate broker along the Colorado River in Arizona."
"I have used Candice in the sale of two properties in Bullhead City, Arizona. On both occasions she demonstrated outstanding abilities in marketing, customer relations, negotiations, and most importantly (in my eyes) communications. I was never left wondering what was happening with the sales as she was constantly in touch either by telephone or e-mail. Furthermore, her tenacity, love of her work, and "Can Do" attitude, kept her abreast with the ever changing market place and she would have recommendations of new and innovative strategies for obtaining our goals. They all worked!!! Her vast knowledge and skills allowed the sales to move flawlessly through the system and close on time. As I still have property in Arizona, I would think of no other person to handle my investments." Joseph S. Natoli, McKenzie Bridge, Oregon ~ Investment Property Seller
