A former professional skier who endured nine knee surgeries and two neck operations, Athena’s initial impression of real estate was far from positive—viewing REALTORS as dime-a-dozen salespeople. But a life-changing mentorship and her own unstoppable drive transformed her skepticism into passion. Over the last decade, Athena has risen to become one of Colorado’s most trusted and top-performing REALTORS, blending sharp market insight, unmatched negotiation skills, and a creative eye for design that unlocks the true potential of every property. What sets Athena apart isn’t just her professional expertise —it’s her remarkable story of resilience. After being diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease, Athena faced debilitating challenges that could have ended her career. Instead, she turned adversity into her superpower, rebuilding her business with even greater focus and purpose. Today, Athena inspires audiences by sharing hard-won lessons on overcoming setbacks, building a relationship-driven business, and leveraging real estate as a tool for financial freedom. Whether mentoring agents, guiding buyers and investors, or captivating podcast listeners, Athena’s authenticity, innovative strategies, and commitment to empowering others make her an unforgettable voice in both real estate and personal development.

Her life took a surprising turn in 2010 while vacationing in San Diego, where she met her now-husband crossing the street. One year later, they were married. Over the next few years, they lived in San Diego, Cleveland (her husband's hometown), and Atlanta, welcoming their first two children along the way. It was during her first stint in Cleveland that Simone noticed something striking about the U.S. housing market—unlike in Australia, cash-flowing rental properties were a real opportunity here. That insight led to their first real estate purchase in 2012: a duplex where they lived on one side and rented out the other, letting the tenant cover their mortgage and expenses. Simone made herself a promise: if they ever moved back to Cleveland, she’d dive into real estate full time. Fast forward to 2016, when the family relocated to the Sunshine Coast in Queensland Australia. There, Simone started a healthcare business that quickly took off, growing to nearly $5 million in annual revenue in just four years. Her husband joined the venture, and in the midst of scaling the company, they welcomed their third child. In 2021, they sold the business and returned to Cleveland. Simone kept her promise. In just over three years, she’s completed seven full renovations and manages a growing portfolio of rental properties under her company, Moza Homes. Her most recent project, Boomerang Ranch, turned a tired mid-century home in Moreland Hills into a high-design showcase that went under contract shortly after listing. Through Moza Homes, Simone wears many hats—owner, general contractor, licensed real estate agent, and designer. Her approach is hands-on and highly intentional. “Moza Homes was born from the idea that real estate investment could be both artistic and profitable,” she says. With a strategy focused on uncovering hidden potential in prime neighborhoods, Simone is building something special—one beautifully reimagined home at a time. “There’s a story in every home,” Simone says. “My job is to reveal it.” Social Media Links: Website: To learn more about Jen Josey, visit To join REIGN, visit Stuff Jen Josey Loves: Buy Jen Josey’s Book: From Beginner to Badass:
