Originally from Ellettsville, Indiana, and with an honors degree from Indiana University Bloomington, Cortney started as an elementary school teacher. For many years, she found self-fulfillment by helping her students learn and grow. Cortney has always known the key to success lies within education. In 2020, Cortney made a career change and entered the real estate business. Clearly during a global pandemic was a unique time to begin a career in real estate, but Cortney's infectious upbeat attitude and nurturing personality, along with her commitment to learning, made the transition an easy one. Cortney imparts knowledge with patience and empathy, and in a way her clients can absorb and understand – a true gift that was aided by years in the classroom. With attention to detail, Cortney is laser-focused on ensuring her clients feel like they are taken care of from start to finish. She understands that their home is one of the biggest decisions and investments they will make. You can often find Cortney and her Hoosier-fan-family, which includes Cortney's three kids, Brody 15, Zane 13, and Maggie 11 (and a yorkie-pom named Winnie) at tons of sporting events including everything IU! They love to go to baseball games, including her son's travel team, riding bikes on the B Line, and going camping. As you can tell, Cortney is all about family. It's no surprise that her favorite part of being a real estate agent is the opportunity to feel like a part of her clients' families. “I truly feel honored that I get to have these personal and memorable experiences with my clients. I love the friendship that is formed.”
