Karen Woods Ramsey Joins Her Son In Law In Business At Crye-Leike Hixson
Judy Garland, in her most famous movie role as Dorothy in ‘The Wizard Of Oz’ reminds every fan of the family classic of the film’s underlying truth… there’s no place like home.
After being mostly a homemaker for several years Karen Woods Ramsey of Signal Mountain – while loving the home life – was presented with a business opportunity to up her home game. And turns out… it was an offer she just couldn’t refuse.
“My son-in-law asked me to join him in his real estate career and all I could say is WOW, what a compliment,” said Karen. “My first reaction was really? But I immediately turned to my ever-so-wise husband to ask what he thought and his response was two thumbs up.”
Karen’s husband Winfred told her it would be great and she’d be great selling real estate. What Karen soon realized is that the initial road to become a licensed Realtor in Tennessee and start a career in real estate would not be easy.
“After being out of school for 35+ years I studied, prayed, studied and prayed,” said Karen. “And here I am now, a Realtor – now who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks?”
Karen has teamed-up with her son-in-law TJ Peck to form “The Home Team” based out of the Crye-Leike Hixson branch office located at 5870 Highway 153, Suite 101. She intends to bring both common sense and plenty of business sense to her new home team.
“My previous work experience of ten years was as an office manager for Austin Building Corporation and Austin Rentals of Chattanooga,” said Karen. “This position taught me management skills of superior quality and the importance of serving the public honestly and with excellence of character… the same skills I believe are required as a Realtor with Crye-Leike.”
