Although I have been around Real Estate my entire life, I officially began my career in 2001. From the day I was born, I have been learning the tools of the trade; my Father and Grandfather owned a Real Estate Company together in Texas, where I was raised. In 1989 my family moved to Stafford County where my Father managed Mount Vernon’s Commercial Division. In 1991 my Father decided to go out on his own and bought a small Real Estate Company, Pates Realty. Pates Realty was established in 1955 and became Green-Pates Realty in 1991. Over the next decade, my father and Mr. Pates successfully continued growing the small-town, locally-owned business. In the year 2000, Mr Pates retired from Real Estate and the company became Green & Associates Realty. In early 2001, my Father asked me to join his company. I went to school and received my Realtors License and truly began my training. I learned from my father, and the other seasoned agents in the office, how to buy and sell property, how to manage an office, and to refine my “people skills.” In 2006, when my Father died in a plane crash, I quickly went from learning to manage to actually managing an office. I soon completed all my brokerage classes and before the end of the year became a fully licensed Broker in the state of Virginia. Through 2008 I continued to grow the business, but with the decline in the economy, we decided to merge with a larger company.

From 2008-2013 I managed the Fredericksburg Branch of Champion Homes Realty, while helping them grow the brand throughout Northern Virginia. 2010 was a busy year: I helped open a branch in Richmond VA, received my Broker’s license in Maryland, and helped open a branch in Baltimore.
