She has completed GRI Marketing for sellers, GRI is the graduate institute for realtors and is a distinction that shows Kaylee is committed to the success of getting you top dollar on your investments. The entire backbone of what gets Kaylee out of bed every day is her “why”. This is something she will share when asked personally about it, but at a 30,000-foot view, it is to create independence and space for those experiencing codependency and toxic relationships which hamper their ability to visualize and then manifest what their amazing reality truly could be.
