Introduction:  Dee has worked in the real estate industry for over 22 years. I got my foot in the door as a husband-and-wife team’s unlicensed assistant, and after a couple of years decided to get my own license and worked in every aspect of the industry with traditional, short sale and REO transactions. I was also a notary public, loan docs signer and at one point, I also worked for an escrow/title company as the assistant closer. I feel that I’ve gone full circle now that I am working for The Association of REALTORS as The Member Services Coordinator.
