Summary

As the team lead for our National freight specialists at Giltner I was in charge of our companies biggest accounts and in my last month with the company I booked a company best 104k profit margin. I fully understand the process of moving all types of freight from Intermodal, Refer, flatbed, conestoga, oversized, partials you name it and we moved it. I was the number one booking agent for 2 straight years. I reached my growth potential with Giltner and decided to pursue a life long dream of becoming a Realtor.

I have excelled in real estate in my first two years but the market has shifted and I need more financial stability. I have always been a team orientated employee and strive to be the best I can be. I enjoy the daily challenges freight provides. I have exceptional customer service and follow up skills which helped me build our carrier base by partnering with reliable trucking companies. This skill set helped me to keep cost down for the customer. Freight is an ever changing game and I thoroughly enjoyed my time as one of Giltner's top producing freight specialists.

I currently am a motivated Real Estate Agent dedicated to giving clients first-class professional service and honest advice to enable sound financial decision-making in sales and purchases of real estate. Personable and ethical professional with 2 years of comprehensive experience buying and selling properties on behalf of clients. Versed in contract negotiation, contract management and prospecting.
