Yolanda Treves

I have an incredibly dynamic background and I attribute this to my parents. My mother, an Irish-Scottish native Phoenician, traveled the world twice. My father was a Jewish-Greek-Mexican chef from Mexico City. They were similar in the sense that, before they had met, their past consisted of a lot of traveling and life lessons.

They met in Cozumel, Mexico. My dad pulled the ropes in for the boats; my mother was the "yachtey" help. From the moment she stepped off that yacht, my dad knew she would be the mother of his children. They married soon after and my brother and I followed. A few years and two islands later, they decided to come to my mother's home, Phoenix, Arizona. They wanted to build something more tangible than "island living."

My mother decided real estate would be the right place for her. With its ever changing challenges and never-a-dull-day characteristics, this was the perfect career. She thrived so much in real estate that she was in the TOP 10 producing selling agents in Arizona for the entire 25 years she practiced.

My father went on to open the BEST Mexican restaurant in Arizona. It was called Such Is Life. He received numerous awards and recognition from many local and national restaurateur magazines, restaurant owners, and news sources, year after year. To this day, if you ask anyone in the food business they will say that Moises Treves revolutionized Mexican food in Arizona.

The reason for the long story about who and where I came from is simply this . . .

I am ALL that my parents embodied. I have a killer matchless work ethic and immeasurable motivation, topped with a little charm, ambition, and a huge love for life. This has fueled me to be who I am now and to prepare me to follow in my parents footsteps. Carrying out passion, hard work, and kindness in any and everything that I do!
