Practicing real estate has also lead me down pathways where I have achieved Top Producer status, managed for Coldwell Banker, and became very involved with training and education of realtors. The quality education services I provide allow insights into a variety of the aspects of the real estate business, also teaching techniques to provide excellent customer service to the consumer.

As COVID-19 continues to shape our world, SMDRA has learned to adapt and do things differently.  These changes will include the 2020 Annual Holiday Brunch and Toy Drive benefiting the Boys & Girls Club of Denver.

GREAT NEWS…SMDRA WILL STILL BE HOLDING THIS EVENT!  This year’s event will be very different and will adhere to current Colorado guidelines. The event will consist of a Drive-Thru Toy Drive and Parade of Trees held on Thursday, December 3, 2020 from 4pm to 7pm.

The SMDRA parking lot will be lit up with decorated holiday trees. The trees will have been donated and decorated by our SMDRA REALTORS^® and Affiliate Members. Drive through our special winter wonderland while dropping off your toy donations. Our generous sponsors will provide holiday treat delivered to you in your car.

You can also purchase additional tickets – One (1) ticket for $5 and Five (5) tickets for $20.  Proceeds from ticket sales will also benefit Boys & Girls Clubs of Denver.

Your ticket will work two-ways; the tree with the most votes will WIN the ‘2020 Parade of Trees Champion’ Title.  Secondly, one ticket will be drawn from each tree at the end of the night and that ticket holder will win that decorated tree.  Winners will be notified the following morning and do not need to be present to win.
