Real estate was once an industry dominated by men, and although women have become the majority of Realtors in recent years there are still sectors of the industry, like commercial real estate, that are mostly  men. We talk to Jennifer Turcotte, the owner of Carsmotology, a high end car detailing company in Plymouth, MN about kicking ass in another very male dominated industry. Jen tells about how she got her start, making her own products, and how she made a name for herself in the world of high end car detailing. This was a fun conversation, let’s dive in!

Real estate terminology can be confusing. There are a lot of commonly used terms during a normal home buying or selling transaction, but if you are not buying and selling homes regularly these are not necessarily things that you will remember, or understand.

Beth is going to break down some of the things she sees people getting confused about and explain what the terms mean, and how they are used, so that you can feel confident the next time something comes up. Let’s Dive in!
