Q: Can you share with us why you decided to pursue a career in Real Estate?
VG: I was raised as an army brat. My father dragged me all over the world, having moved nineteen times by the time I went to college. My mother had a true love of real estate and I was dragged to every open house in every country all over the world. I went to school for civil engineering and have an eye for design and a love for homes and people.

Q: Can you share with our audience what Buyers & Sellers can expect when they work with you?
VG: They are going to have fun and they are going to make money. I don’t allow my buyers to buy homes that if something tragic happened in their life, I cannot rent it out for more than their mortgage. If you work with me and you call in a few years to sell your home, I guarantee that you will have made money and a profit.

Q: How do you help buyers compete in a tight market?
VG: It helps when you work with a top agent in Colorado. Other agents like working with me because they know that I am fair, and I get to the closing table. In addition, I have tricks up my sleeve to win the bid if there is a multiple offer situation.

VG: Sara Blakely, she is the owner of Spanx. I love how she started the business with only $5,000 and her tenacity to get the brand going. She is now one of the richest women in the world.

Q: What are some of the challenges you feel women face today?
VG: That we have two old white men to vote for as president in 2020.

Q: What are the best practices you have employed to build a successful career?
