Bio
I was raised in Salado after my father, Bill Bartlett, moved our family to Salado in the early ’70s to start a career in real estate. I attended Thomas Arnold Elementary School and Salado High School. Upon graduation, I attended the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor before transferring to Southwestern University, where I received my degree in Business Administration.
After graduating from Southwestern University, I used my business degree in the banking industry. The best part of the banking world was visiting with clients and finding their needs and wants in the financial realm. However, after several years in banking, it was clear there was another industry calling my name.
I watched my Dad create and build a real estate company. I watched him help buyers and sellers make their dreams come true while providing for his family. After having a child and wanting something different for my family, I decided to throw my hat into the real estate world. Thirty-three years later, I am still loving my field of work, and best of all, finding the perfect home for each family to call their own.
I have been active in the Temple/Belton Board of Realtors, serving as Director, MLS chair, and Professional Standards Chair, as well as President of the Board. I am a Graduate of the Real Estate Institute (GRI), an Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR), and a Certified Residential Specialist (CRS).
I am also active in the Salado community, having served on the Salado Chamber of Commerce, Salado Education Foundation, Friends Feeding Friends, and Salado ISD School Board.
When I'm not working or volunteering, you can find me tending to my Iris garden or spending time with my family. My husband and I have three grown children, a son-in-law and two daughter-in-laws, and two grandbabies who we just adore.
