My Story
I was Country before Country was Cool.
All my life, I have loved the Western Lifestyle. The clothes, the music, the landscapes, the idea of being a cowgirl… but life got in the way. Making a living, having a career and family, walking an urban path~ all wonderful in their own way. I am so fortunate to have had an amazing career and incredible child, the lessons and blessings of life and love.
Now, in this next Season of Life, I am embracing the unknown. Rolling back to those early childhood dreams of being a cowgirl, living a western life, riding on the Prairies chasing cows. Dancing in the kitchen to George Straight and “Amarillo by Morning”.
Cross-country trips from California to Texas in a truck with 2 pups, belongings overflowing in the truck bed and miles of road in front of us. It has been a journey to get to MARIGOLD. A woman that plays more by her intuition than a plan. My gut has rarely failed me even in moments of challenge and fear. I have come out the other side stronger and more confident in my abilities to live an adventurous and fulfilling life. Most of my family and friends think I am crazy, but they are also my biggest cheerleaders.
I spent 42 years on the same career path in the Northern California real estate industry, albeit with many iterations and opportunities. I have been blessed to build strong connections and walk beside some amazing partners and mentors in my life. I have loved building a successful business, helping folks achieve their goals and dreams. I have grown many real estate professionals into some of the most successful agents in the business.
I believe the key to success is all about the people. The power of authentic exchanges and personal interaction. Though I spend most of my days on the ranch in Granbury, Texas, I remain connected to my California roots, splitting time and business between the two states. Living the fast-paced life of a rancher and business professional by day, cowgirl by night...
I am taking all I have learned in my career and carrying those skill sets over to a more creative life that weighs on my interest in not just the transactional aspects of real estate, but also leverages my design, staging, marketing, event planning and project management skills. I can help you understand the transaction process, how to get your property ready for market, best practices, and the creative work you need to set your property up for success and the most profitable and quick sale.
I created MARIGOLD to offer a personalized service based around your unique needs, goals, and dreams.
