The purchase of Winoker Realty Company by me and three partners is definitely the "game changing" moment of my career. My role is to oversee the day to day operations of the company and manage the brokerage division. There is no doubt that this acquisition will advance my position in the industry and how I am seen by my peers. There is definitely a lot of pressure and it has been a big change to go from a five person office to a 40 person office, but I believe in our vision for the company and I am looking forward to announcing our new brand What is your favorite tip for balanced living? It may sound silly but the only way to keep my head on straight is by making lists. If I can see the tasks I need to accomplish and check them off as they are completed everything seems a little bit more manageable. There are many nights I find myself waking up at 4:00 am and thinking of something I need to do at the office, a phone call I forgot to make, or an appointment I need to schedule. Being a working mother can definitely be overwhelming but as long as I cross one thing off my list at a time I start to feel the weight being lifted.
