During this phase, she realized the importance of adding Mortgage knowledge to her list of services that can help home buyers/sellers to achieve their Real Estate goals. Her clients gained greater awareness of how to use Real Estate as an investment opportunity to achieve a greater Return Of Investment as well as increase their wealth potential.
She became a licensed real estate broker in 1993 and started operating as an independent company. Her core objective was servicing Real Estate clients in a “one-stop-shop” environment. In 1997, Ecrews expanded her business to a storefront Real Estate company in Los Angeles “PrimetymeReal Estate”. This experience as an entrepreneur opened doors of new opportunities not just for her but also for clients.
