In 2001, Kathleen received her California real estate salesperson license. Long hours of open houses, in-person loan applications, and loan signing services helped her create a list of to-dos for buyers, sellers, and the other agents she worked with to cover anything necessary to make each process as smooth as possible. Kathleen found that she enjoyed training other agents as much as helping borrowers buy and refinance their homes. She graduated in 2016 with a bachelor’s in creative writing and a master of science in entertainment business from Full Sail University. Now, she also has a Ed.S. in higher education from Regent University and is on track to land a Ph.D. To date, Kathleen has 20 years of experience in the real estate field, 12 years in business management, and 15 years as an educator.
