Principal Broker
I grew up in a small community just north of downtown Orlando called College Park. My days were spent water skiing, riding bikes and enjoying the outdoors. In my teens, I worked for the family owned business, McCully Construction which specialized in commercial buildings and developments and churches. My brother, Walter McCully, was a real estate Broker. I worked in the family business after college until I had my first born son, Joshua, in 1987. Tyler was born in 1991 and I enjoyed being a stay at home mom. In 1993, an opportunity arised for my family to move to Knoxville, TN. As the boys got older, and I was now a single mom, I decided to go back to work and working in the real estate industry just seemed like the best fit.
In February of 1998, I applied to work on staff with Wallace Real Estate. By January of 2000, I had earned my real estate license and by January of 2003, I took my Broker's exam and passed! Under the leadership of Jim Wallace, I thrived on learning every detail of managing an office of real estate associates and selling real estate. In 2004, Jim asked me if she would consider being the Broker of the Bearden office and happily accepted.
My passion for helping my agents succeed in this business is what I thrive on. Watching the excitement on an agent's face or hearing it in their voice, thrills my heart and makes me smile. To this day, I work "hands on" with each of my agents in their time of need. If I don't know the answer (being a Broker for so long I typically know the answer), I have the added benefit of the most amazing support team at Wallace. The owners and the other Brokers are just a phone call away to consult on any topic.
If you are looking to associate with a firm that will give you support, encouragement and the tools to make you successful, give me a call today.
