About eight years ago, Lacey began taking more interest in Real Estate. She loved hearing stories from a close friend and real estate appraiser and learning how people could add value to their homes. It seemed to put a spark in her. So, when she heard about a job opening at RP Capital, it seemed like the perfect choice. Her experience at RP Capital quickly went from a college job to a career. She connected immediately with the company’s core values in a very deep and personal way; Loyalty, Own It, Integrity, and Fun. She had always wanted to work for a company that is honest and loyal, yet creates a fun environment.
She has seen first hand the loyalty and integrity Ron embodies as the owner of RP Capital, and that solidified her loyalty and passion for her work. Over the years, she has learned more about real estate and is convinced it is the best investment out there. She can’t wait to own her first investment property!
