Hello! I’m Gretchen! My love for Colorado began more than 30 years ago as my family moved from Washington State to Colorado Springs where I began attending Air Academy High School. My love continued to grow in 1993 as I purchased my very first home in the community of Briargate in beautiful Colorado Springs. Every morning as I walked up the staircase, I would stare in awe at the purple mountain majesty sunrise reflecting off of Pikes Peak. This image remains fresh in my memory to this day.

My family expanded, we sold our Colorado Springs home and moved to Arizona where I was a stay-at-home mother of 3 amazing children. As the children grew, I took on experiences of teaching my own kindergarten class (I had done my student teaching in Colorado Springs District 20), substitute teaching, being a registrar and teacher at a charter high school, owning and managing a mortgage brokerage, investing in and managing my own real estate properties. In 2004 I courageously began my own company for fixing and flipping real estate properties. I learned a lot and had great success. Unfortunately, we all felt the impact of the 2007-2008 real estate crisis; however, it wasn’t long before I was back at it wholesaling residential real estate properties. With a desire to keep learning and growing in the real estate business, I obtained my Arizona real estate license in 2014.

En 2017, mis hijos habían estado en el mundo como adultos durante bastante tiempo y sabía que era hora de un cambio. Aproveché la oportunidad de regresar a Colorado y administrar las propiedades comerciales y residenciales que posee mi familia. Inesperadamente, terminé administrando nuestro taller de reparación de automóviles de propiedad familiar en Woodland Park. ¡Fue un gran cambio, ya que sabía muy poco sobre reparación de automóviles!

Early in 2020 I decided to obtain my Colorado real estate license. I recently activated my license with EXIT Realty Pikes Peak. I have felt so welcome and supported. I am continually impressed with EXIT Realty’s training, professionalism and expertise. I love how EXIT Realty so generously gives back to the community and is dedicated to putting people first. This is such a perfect fit for me!

¡Mi principal prioridad en la vida siempre ha sido la FAMILIA! Fuera de mi carrera en bienes raíces, soy voluntario en una compañía global que brinda capacitación en desarrollo y crecimiento personal. Tengo el privilegio de haber podido viajar (en tiempos anteriores a Covid) a Londres, Canadá y varios lugares de los Estados Unidos para impartir estos cursos a jóvenes, adolescentes y sus familias. Realmente ha sido una de las experiencias más gratificantes de mi vida poder marcar la diferencia en la vida de los jóvenes, adolescentes y sus padres. Sé que los efectos dominó se verán en las generaciones futuras para siempre.
