Renee's Profile

After I earned my degree, I worked in a hospital while assisting my sister in her real estate business. Working alongside my sister—who is also my best friend—gave me a firsthand look at what it truly meant to serve people. I watched her nurture relationships, connect with clients, and build community. There was joy in her work that was contagious. One particularly difficult day during that period changed everything. After a series of setbacks, I found myself emotionally exhausted and questioning my path. When I shared this with my sister, she gently suggested I try real estate. 

That conversation was a turning point. I realized what fulfilled me most wasn’t the setting, but the service. Real estate allowed me to continue helping people through moments of transition, uncertainty and excitement. Earning my real estate license was a natural extension of my values: empathy, trust and a genuine desire to support others as they build their futures.

Fun Fact

I earned my bachelor of science from George Mason University, majoring in public health with a minor in global health. While I no longer work directly in public health, my education continues to shape my perspective and approach. Studying the social determinants of health taught me how environment, community and access to resources profoundly influence wellbeing—insights I bring to helping clients find homes that support their lifestyle, family and future.
