Coleen didn't start out in real estate, but she did start out knowing exactly how to build a successful career. She knew right off the bat that she needed proactive solutions to help get her to the top - and she chose Zurple to be her partner in success.

From Speech Pathology to Realty
Early on in her career, Coleen was the Director of Speech and Hearing at a facility for the physically and mentally challenged based out of Utah. She loved how rewarding it was to be a Speech Pathologist, but quickly tired of all the red tape involved in working for a state-run facility. In an effort to find a career that would provide more control, Coleen accepted a sales-driven role that provided her with a larger stake in her own success. There, she encountered roadblocks in the form of manufacturing challenges and weather delays. That's when Coleen decided it was time to move to pursue the industry that allowed her to have maximum control of her destiny - real estate. She was excited to get started on a career path that would allow her to have complete control of her outcome and was looking forward to having the freedom to be as successful as she wanted to be.
On the 'work hard' side, Coleen is no slacker. She has been the #1 agent in her offices for the last 24 years. That kind of success doesn't happen without an endless drive and a real passion for real estate. Coleen loves Zurple because she never has to be anxious about where her next deal is coming from. She has enough well-nurtured leads to have peace of mind and it helps her close more deals. Why? Because her leads (who become clients) sense that she's not desperate to try and sell them something, and see that she is a highly experienced agent who absolutely loves helping people with their real estate needs.
