Tell us about yourself

Why I do what I do... My parents did the best they knew, and we never went without. We had a roof over our heads, food on the table, and clothes on our backs. My parents’ mindset was that of ‘We can’t afford it,’ and ‘money doesn’t grow on trees. I often remember hearing these two phrases and watching my parents struggle financially. I remember moving often. The move that stood out to me the most was in high school. I was not popular, and when I made the cheer squad, I finally felt a part of something. My grades were up, and I was making friends! Then it happened again… it was my first year of high school, and my mom informed me we had 30 days to move. I was devastated! My parents rented their whole lives, and I saw the struggle. Moving constantly is expensive and stressful. I think my parents simply did not know it was a possibility to be homeowners.

I became a full-time realtor in 2013 and have helped many of my family members become homeowners – including my parents! In 2016 I became a vacation rental owner here in the valley and quickly realized the income potential. The difference between short-term and long-term rentals is substantial! And it’s not as hard as people think! Now I can help my family and friends not only with homeownership but investing in their future as well! My name is Marcelle, and I don’t just sell homes; I find incredible possibilities!! REALTOR®

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

The biggest accomplishment for me is my mindset. This drives me to do my best for my future so that I can teach others how to do the same.

What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?

Being a business owner can have its challenges because the future lies in your own hands. Searching for innovative ways to help others grow their future is challenging and rewarding at the same time because everyone’s story is unique.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

1. Find your WHY - what motivates you? Without this, you won’t have the drive you need to get what you desire.
2. Find something within your business that you enjoy and become excellent at it. Don’t worry about how to do EVERYTHING all at once.
3. Be consistent with the tasks you choose to do. Every day. No matter what.
