Bio :  Lenae was raised in Spokane from the age of 5.  She attended the Cheney School Dist from k-12^th grade.   She enjoyed the small town school and good country living.  After attending SFCC and Eastern Washington University she received a Recreation Management Degree.

Lenae was determined to add and implement every new program for kids and teens.  Soon Lenae was married and started a family.  After finding their first home, calling the agent, and closing in 30 days, she found that good agents “just get called & make a living.”  Lenae and her husband stretched themselves and bought a fixer upper and became property managers in a short while.  A few houses and a couple of duplexes she was ready to roll.  Later, Lenae earned her Real Estate License.  She will tell you that not a day has been lived without working & breathing real estate.  It soon becomes your world and captivates you! With changing markets her motto has been “Let’s Roll!” Lenae joined the Spokane Home Guy Group in October of 2009.

Lenae quotes “It has been a fast paced growing experience and some very busy seasons!  Working with Brandon has been incredible.  Keeping up with Brandon’s expectations is challenging, but the education and the amount of gratitude from hard work is irreplaceable!”
