About Tammy

---

  I am a native of Cincinnati, Ohio. My family flipped homes my entire  childhood so I experienced not only living and working in construction,  but the bookkeeping and the process of the real estate industry. I  graduated from high school in 1987 at the top 1% of my class. When I  moved to Bloomington, Indiana in 1987 I worked my way into managing  several different companies. I purchased my first home in 1989 at the  age of 20 and my second home in 2001. I extended my education at IV Tech  working on my associate’s degree holding honors and became a part of  Phi Theta Kappa. In Feb. 2001 I set out on my journey into the real  estate industry with a large firm. After 14 years I have decided to take  my experience and not only make it my own, but help other agents work  towards goals to assist the community. I have designed a company to not  only help serve, but also give back to the community as well. In Sept.  2014 I announced for a one year term I will be donating a portion of my  proceeds to the Olcott Center for Cancer Education, a referring agent  and I also donated several inches of hair to the Children with Hair  Loss, and we are sponsoring a softball team with Parks and Recs. Each  year we will look to do several “Give back to the Community” events and  post them on our site.  

 I was born in Detroit and have lived in the Bloomington area since 1972.  I became a realtor in 2003 after graduating from Indiana University  with a BA in Alternative Healing and getting my Naturopathic Doctor  degree in 2001. I have always been a believer that a home or real estate  is the best investment anyone can make. Not only does it give you a  home with a place to live and raise a family, it gives a solid and  secure place to invest your time and money as opposed to renting. I  purchased my first home at 17 years old and immediately began improving  it with a garage and new family room with a pool table. A home of your  own brings a feeling of freedom and independence. In between my first  home and the present, I raised two children, Kyla and Arlo, and now have  a new grandson, Ronin. I have owned American Futons since 1978 and in  my spare time, I am a Licensed Medical Hypnotherapist. I play guitar,  sing, and write songs, do lapidary work, yoga and martial arts, and love  to read. I will probably never retire because there are so many things I  want to do yet including helping people in any way I can, and building a  guest cottage using local limestone spall and passive solar heat. Life  is just so much fun!
