Tina Torgrude Relocating from Seattle, WA to Austin, TX in 2005 was definitely a big change for me as well as my teenage son, Micah, who is Autistic and our Doberman, Brea. After making necessary adjustments to living in the south (Brea doesn’t care for the thunderstorms), I decided Austin is a great place for real estate investments. I received my real estate license in 2006 and began my search for a top producing team with morals and values that would not be compromised. Being a high achiever in sales and a sewing/quilting instructor in high demand as well as my educational classes in business and real estate all contribute to a strong background in Sales as well as Customer Service. Joining forces with the Gardner Group was a merger waiting to happen. When you hire the Gardner Group, you truly can Expect More! |
