What you Really want to know: About us

About Me Personally:

 We love Real Estate in general, so when an opportunity came up for myself to work for a Home builder, I jumped on it. I have always love touring models so why not make a living out of it. I have been married for 9 years to my wonderful husband Brian and we have three beautiful girls Alissa, Natalie & Kailyn. Kailyn is our newest addition who just arrived on May 17, 2010. We live in Colorado Springs and love it. We moved from California and are so glad we made that decision. Colorado is just a completely different lifestyle and much more relaxed.

An area of why we do what we do!

Wow where to begin. I can honestly say I have been in sales all my life. I enjoy interacting with people and overcoming the challenges of sales in general. I use to sell cars back in 2003 at Joe Kerely Dealership. At the same time I was selling Avon on the side...yes you read it right Avon. My Avon business took off and in 2006, I opened up the first Avon Retail Store in Central california. That was a lot of fun. In 2007, my husband decided he wanted to study Real Estate, so I did it with him. We both got our license. He decided to do the mortgage side and I decided to do the real estate side. He is good at numbers and I was (or I would like to think) was good with sales. We became known as The St James Team. We went through a couple offices before we found a great team in Keller Williams Office in Modesto, CA. We were brought over by two great Realtors Patrick Bill and Christina O'Neal. We loved this group and learned a lot from them.

We really enjoy that part of our life...until the market crash had hit. Let's just say it hit us personally because we lost our own home that we just had  appraised just 6 months prior for over $200,000 then what we paid for. We ended up owing more money than it was worth. We decided at that point it was pointless to keep it and ended up filing for bankruptcy and  sell my Avon business...Well let me tell you. That was a humbling moment for us. We were on top of the world to the bottom of the stinky crusty bottom of hell. (sorry a little too dramatic)

Overall I think it was a good thing. We decided to move to Colorado. What a change! Change for the better that is. A different lifestyle all together and you just can't beat it. My husband now works at Red Robin as a manger and yep I am back in the Real Estate field..sorta of speak.  Now you, who actually read my whole entire profile needs to come visit me!
