Angee Houston

SEVERAL THINGS ABOUT ME:

I LOVE TENNESSEE! I was born in Shelby, NC but was moved and raised in Johnson City, TN since the sweet age of 2 and never left because there is no place I would rather be! Tennessee is my home. I am proud of where I live and where I come from and want to share the love of my hometown with everyone I meet. Sweet Tea, Southern hospitality, and a small dose of “Bless Your Heart”! That is what life in TN is all about.

I AM A PEOPLE PERSON! My dad was a pastor and he taught me to cherish serving others and that is one thing I never had any trouble with because I just love people! For 18 years before working at D&D I managed a very successful portrait studio. I believe the reason that I excelled is because of my passion for people, documenting the important moments in their life, celebrating with them the milestones and crying with them over the tragedies. Customer service and “Treating others as you would want to be treated” is like second nature to me and I thrive on just being a great friend, a helper and a shoulder to lean on during the rough times and doing it all with a smile and a hug.

These are the reasons why I make a great Operational manager for D&D School of Real Estate – because I get to serve wonderful PEOPLE in the greatest state ever!
