RE/MAX Real Estate Services is leading the community with many successful women in business!

Carolyn Coatney, a local agent with a heart for people, loves her job. “My favorite part of my career is introducing new-comers to this place we call home, all of it’s wonderful culture, food, art and entertainment and cultural diversity,” said Coatney. She has won multiple awards, including the Agent Insight Superstar award and the Cooperative Spirit Award from her co-agents.“Being a female Realtor, I’m reminiscent of days when many considered a woman’s place to be in the home,” said Coatney. “I respect those that opt to do so, but I tend to agree with the majority at that time, as we absolutely should be in as many of the single family homes available for sale in Northwest LA, helping as many new buyers as possible get settled in.” Email her at [email protected].

Shelley Crow-Liles, another RE/ MAX agent, relocated to Shreveport after working in the music industry in Nashville. She enjoys introducing clients from all over the country to the area. “We have a lot of clients from Barksdale AFB and from Oil and Gas companies that relocate here,” said Crow-Liles. “I’ve been in their shoes, and understand the stress that comes with making an informed decision on where to relocate your family.” Crow-Liles, a licensed fitness instructor, manages to balance her career and personal life with timeless advice. “Be organized, use good time management and always carve out a small window for a workout!” said Crow-Liles.

Jessica Davis is just one of those local hard working businesswomen. A native of Shreveport/Bossier City, Davis became a certified EMT before pursuing her newfound passion in real estate. “My favorite part of being a real estate agent is helping people own a piece of our community,” said Davis. “I was drawn to real estate because it is not your typical 9 to 5 job,” said Davis. “As a Realtor, you’re the manager of your own small business and that aspect of the career really appealed to me.” Davis can be contacted at [email protected].

Jessica Hammons, another real estate agent for RE/MAX, loves getting to hand over the keys to a client when they purchase their new home. Hammons, who married her high school sweetheart and attends First Bossier, loves the challenges and rewards in the industry. “When you can help give clients advice, not only on purchasing a home, but also in showing them how they improve their home and make it more than they imagined, it’s very rewarding,” said Hammons.

Christi Hagedorn Johnson is another agent at RE/MAX who loves her career. “Women are great for real estate!”said Johnson. “We’re natural homemakers and can visualize making something great.” Johnson, a mom to two sportsplaying kids, finds balance in her work and personal life by enjoying both and can switch from Soccer Mom to Career Mom by leaving the field and tossing on a pair of high heels. She wouldn’t have it any other way. “It’s so rewarding to help someone find their perfect home, especially when they didn’t think it was a possibility,” said Johnson. Email her at [email protected].
