I obtained my real estate license in 1987 and started out working with a land developer who concentrated on large acreage, ranch lots and lake lots on Navarro Mills Lake near Corsicana, Texas. Later, I leased high-rise office suites in Houston and sold residential properties in Alvarado and Grandview, Texas. I have bought, leased and sold my own properties for the last 12 years, while pursuing a career in education. I love the Highland Lakes area, moving here a year ago to be near my family. I have three teenage daughters and have a passion for real estate and writing.
