info_outlineHow I changee industries with Shelby Purdy
Shelby started her real estate career in 2018, after being in the food service industry for decades. Finding someone's first or next home, or selling their current home, I experienced firsthand the joy as they enter the next phase of their life. Shelby moved to the Cave Creek/Carefree area in 2002, where she has become more involved in the community. As a member of the Scottsdale Area Association, I continually work to improve and expand my training, which has allowed me to become certified to work with Sellers and Buyers, Luxury properties, e-Pro (technology in real estate), and I have obtained my GRI, which is a Graduate Realtor Institute program. I also serve on the Scottsdale Grievance Committee and our Cave Creek Carefree RMS Tour Committee.
