I was proudly born and raised in Indiana in a small town between Anderson and Indianapolis, named Summitville. My mother and father were hard- working, self-made entrepreneurs with wildly successful businesses here in central Indiana. I learned my work ethic, dedication to my clients, and strong belief in the golden rule, all from watching them run their businesses over the years. I attended Anderson University and IUPUI. Early on in my life I was a high school and college cheerleader who went on to coach cheerleading for high school and all star squads. Before becoming a real estate agent, I worked in the corporate world for Roche Diagnostics in event planning. In 2007, I became a full-time real estate agent with Century 21 Scheetz. I remained an individual producer until starting my team, Branch Group Realty, in 2018. I'm proud to have learned so much from the wonderful people at Scheetz for 16 years. In 2019 my team and I joined Highgarden Real Estate. I'm incredibly fortunate to have a team that surrounds me, that appreciates learning from my experiences, and allows me to continue to grow as a real estate agent with them. I'm honored to be consistently recognized as one of the top 200 real estate agents for my individual production and to be a team leader of BGR, who consistently ranks in the top 3 teams Nationally for Highgarden Real Estate.
Personally, I believe in living my life out loud and transparently. Many of my friends and coworkers have said I should have my own reality TV show, but as close as you'll get to that is following me on social media, where you get a glimpse into some fun and crazy times as well as seeing the curtain pulled back on more personal moments in my life. I'm a strong believer in an abundance mindset and that there is enough for everyone. At 41 years old, I believe I have finally found my tribe, calling, and true friends.
I'm so fortunate to have a loving partner of over a decade named Marcus O'Haver. We married in 2021 and have lived our lives in downtown Indianapolis and more recently in Irvington. He has taught me so much about life. As we started dating, my mom was living with me due to a life threatening illness. Over the next 6 years, not only did he help me care for her but also shared in the tremendous loss of my best friend and confidant. Shortly after, we lost his mom in 2020. He was a paralegal who became my transaction manager and is now co-owner/operator of Branch Group Realty. We truly feel like we are just getting started!
When I'm not with my clients or not working on my business, you can find me travelling. I recently included my team and their partners in an all expense paid trip to Cabo. Marcus and I took a 14 day river cruise in the south of France and have excursions planned for the near future; however, we have to leave a lot of time in our summer schedule for lake life and boating on Geist, where you will find us enjoying the party atmosphere, sunsets, and loud music with our friends.
Most recently, we became the proud dads to the world's cutest French bulldog named Daisy, who has joined the family business and peddles her free lemonade at neighborhood functions all around Indianapolis.
In closing, I am super excited to be chosen as one of the 2023 REALTOR® Foundation All-Stars and to help shine a light on the incredible work and mission of this caring organization. I pledge to bring awareness and more connectivity with the foundation through my partnership and connections with Highgarden Real Estate. Let's do this!!
