For the Owner Who’s Ready to Grow Differently
Acquisition isn’t just a strategy. It’s a shift in how you lead.
I started my property management company from my living room—
As a single mom rebuilding after a domestic violence divorce, navigating Chapter 13 bankruptcy, and working without a safety net.
No investors.
No financial runway.
Just a deep belief that if I bet on myself, I could build something of value.
Four years later, I bought a 350+ door competitor.
The deal was set to close April 1, 2020 — right as the world paused.
We pushed to June to make sure it would hold.
It did.
I closed that acquisition after a cold call, using seller financing and virtually no cash down.
I negotiated it directly—after a cold call..
In 2022, I exited in a 7-figure sale.
I stayed on with the national company that acquired my business — and was promoted to Director of Acquisitions.
That meant:
- Leading a nationwide team
- Evaluating deals across the U.S.
- And building the playbooks that shaped how acquisitions happened at scale
Sixteen months later, I was promoted again — to Director of Operations.
This role spanned two regions and multiple states.
It required operational command, trust, and precision — in an industry that rarely hands over that level of scope.
In 2024, I stepped away — ready to serve leaders directly.
At every level, I saw this industry differently.
The most successful deals weren’t about perfect P&Ls or massive teams.
They were about clarity, creativity, and emotional intelligence in high-trust situations.
That’s what I teach inside Built to Acquire™.
Because when you know how to structure the right deal —
and when to walk away —
acquisition becomes the most powerful growth tool in your business.
Most people teaching acquisitions in our industry have done one thing:
They’ve either bought a business, or sold one, or helped someone do it.
I’ve done all four:
- Built my company from scratch
- Acquired a competitor
- Sold for 7 figures
- Led national-scale acquisitions and operational integrations
I understand what it means to be the founder with everything on the line.
I understand the psychology of a seller deciding to walk away from what they built.
And I know how to close a deal that honors both.
That’s the lens I bring into every conversation.
And it’s what makes this work not just strategic but sustainable.
My kids are the reason I started this business—and the reason I protect my time, energy, and ownership so fiercely now.
I believe in building a business that works for your life.
Not one that runs you into the ground.
Today, I live in the Pacific Northwest and work closely with leaders across the U.S.
I teach what I’ve lived.
And I help people like you stop grinding for growth—and start acquiring it.
If this resonates,
here’s where to go next:
This isn’t just about learning how to buy a company.
It’s about shifting how you lead—and what you believe is possible when you stop operating and start owning.
Where you'll find me offline...
These days, you’ll find me hiking new trails, walking the beach, or chasing sunshine with my husband, our dogs, and whatever audiobook I’m into that week.
My grown kids are my greatest grounding — and travel is how I reset.
