Hey Kara..
What did you do before Real Estate?
-- HR/Recruitment for a large agricultural food processing company.
Why did you decide to get into real estate?
-- It was time to take my career into my own hands. To do something that not only pushed me, but had no cap when it came to my potential. In the real estate business the sky really is the limit and that’s exciting to me. Most importantly, I love working with people - more specifically helping them – and what better way to accomplish that than helping others to fulfill their dreams!?
Why did you want to work with The Edrington Team?
-- That’s easy. The team camaraderie. I have been a part of a team my whole life, whether that is work or play, and I felt that team mentality the moment I started communicating with this Edrington Team! I played soccer competitively, finishing my career at the Division I level as an Illinois State Redbird. I truly believe that teamwork is fundamental to success. Working within a team has not only pushed me to keep working toward my full potential, but has also given me the opportunity to help others in that very same way – Right away, I could tell the Edrington Team shared the same values regarding a hardworking team atmosphere, making my decision to join an easy one! I can’t wait to see what we can all accomplish together.
Hobbies?
