Why Did You Choose a Career in Real Estate?
“I am a third-generation Realtor®. My grandma, my dad, and my mom are all in the industry! Growing up, I had a first-row seat to observe the highs and lows of the profession. This made me passionate about improving the lives of Realtors® and, ultimately, their clients. I was raised by this industry and I am honored to be a part of it!”
Her Advice to Those Just Starting Out:
“Find a mentor or join a team! There are so many positive things about being in real estate, but one of the negatives is that it can be lonely. There are so many people who are willing to share their expertise. Find someone that you get along with and be a sponge. There is no training manual in real estate. You must be a self-starter and be willing to fail. If you stick with it, the payoff is huge!”
Outside of real estate, Allie is an avid tennis player at the Stafford Hills Tennis Club in Tualatin. She also loves playing golf, spending time with her adorable puppies, and relaxing with her fiancé, Thomas.
On Her Bucket List? “I would love to eventually own an inn or a B&B. I have always enjoyed hospitality and I would love to host and accommodate people for their relaxation and vacation time. In the near future, I would like to start a family and continue focusing on the expansion of Opt Real Estate.”
