First time to hit CENTURION®! I am feeling thrilled and blessed and thankful to
God! In September of last year, I went to Jennifer Grimes, my regional manager,
and I said “I want CENTURION®.” Jennifer said “Great. Let’s get started.” I said, “For
2017.” She said, “We better hurry!”
Talk about putting the old jalopy in high gear! This old gal got into passing gear
and I must have believed I was a brand-new red Corvette revving up in the SMU
parking lot! BELIEVE! That’s right, BELIEVE. One of the most important words in our
language.
Well, between my BELIEVE and both Jennifer and L.D. pushing me, encouraging me
and holding me accountable, last year was an incredible year for me in business with
achieving both my highest AGC production year and largest individual transaction
to have ever closed of $1.4 million on a land deal for residential development.
Over the years of my real estate career, from the information/consulting side of the
business to now the brokerage side, I have been blessed to have been associated
with the very best among the best. From Roddy Information Services, Foreclosure
Listing Services, Kelley-Lundeen, Swearingen Realty Group, to my Home Sweet
Home here at CENTURY 21 Judge Fite Company.
I am ready and looking forward to making more real estate dreams come true for
my home buyers and scoring real estate victories for my investors. However, none
of this would be possible without my Why: (2 kids in college need tuition money!),
my husband (L.D. Vinson), our daughters (Ashley, Jessie, & Brandie), my Judge Fite
family, and the One above taking the wheel!

I often joke that I’ve been practicing my entire life to be a REALTOR®. While my
friends were all flipping burgers, I was honing my people skills doing social work and
problem solving, such as helping constituents thread their way through the federal
bureaucracy as a congressional aide. After college, I worked for several years as a
paralegal, and became a stickler on contracts. When my son was born, I became an
appraiser as I was drawn by my need for flexible hours. While I’ve only been doing
this a few years, I’ve been practicing a very long time!
Because my Judge Fite family helped me when I was a new agent, I spend a lot of my
time working with new agents and helping them find their own path to success. My
secret to success was apparently an ADHD approach to career development, and a
lot of job hopping! But seriously, I’m thoroughly convinced everyone just needs to
find their own strengths and then leverage them to their client’s needs. When you
adjust your goal from making the sale to making your clients the priority, anything
is possible!
