MEET Bethany CEO/ Founder
Bethany began her career as a Clinical Social Worker after finishing her Masters from the University of Michigan. With 10+ years experience in the field, Bethany was approached by a good friend to consider real estate. Initially excited about the opportunity to make limitless commission, she quickly fell in love with helping people through the biggest purchase of their lives - finding their dream home.
After going through Executive Coaching to build her own personal development, she realized the skills she honed during her decade of clinical social work are an asset in both sales and developing a business. In fact, it’s what gives her a true, heartfelt advantage! So passionate about helping individuals reach their full potential by developing personally and professionally.
From Real Estate and to Business Mentorship, Bethany is the ready to serve you.
