About

Betsy has had an interest in real estate since she was a little kid drawing floorplans for fun and 'helping' the custom builder lay tile in the new homes on the street behind her house. Her mother was an agent in the 70's, and the youngster got put to work updating listing books (before computers!) and had exposure to many other facets of the business. Even though she was interested in architecture, construction, loved America's countryside, and had salespeople for parents, real estate was not a friendly business back then, and Betsy instead studied marketing in college. After graduating from the University of Denver with honors before her twenty-first birthday, Betsy went into retail sales and management. Between checking up on vacant land for sale and helping her mom relocate to Dallas, Betsy had figured out that most agents either didn't answer their phones or hounded their prospects. It had become time to see if she could do better than that! By 2001, many buyers' advocacy advances had been made, including Buyers' Representation, Sellers' Disclosures, option periods, & inspections. The new Realtor jumped right in with a $725,000 listing on her first day, and a full-price offer on the second! She sold $5 million of property in her first year, including land sales to developers, new homes, existing homes, and condos. Betsy has had continued success in residential, commercial, land development, farm & ranch land, investment property, and residential leasing, and now also holds her Broker's license. She has been managing the Wylie-area CCAR Real Estate Tours since 2005, which gives her additional insight to area properties and an enhanced working relationship with area Realtors.
