We Make A Great TeamI've been a Realtor for 13 years. I started with a big box company and it was a great place to get my feet wet. They were very supportive of new agents and their major strength was education. After 8 years, I moved to a small boutique company. It was a big change and one that didn't really work out. It lasted 2 years and then I made my final move to a mid-size, Colorado based company. I've been with Cherry Creek Properties for 3 years.During all the time, one thing remained constant and it's the one thing that I LOVE about my job. Rich, my husband was licensed 2 years before me. When I finally got my license (that's a story for another day), he needed help. Business was growing and it was time for a "partner". We had worked together in the past so we knew it would wo... 02/22/2017
