Kathleen Lamanna Portfolio 2017

BIO
My Real Estate Career began at six years old in Atlanta, Georgia. My Mother would take my five brothers and I to
investigate the new developments around Atlanta as an inexpensive way to entertain six children and provide a
learning opportunity about construction development from the “ground up”. The smell of fresh cut saw dust still
ranks as one of my favorite scents along with fresh cut grass.
Those excursions led to numerous tree houses, a fondness for touring any homes, new, old, open houses,
new developments, appraisal classes, investment classes, personal Real Estate investments and ultimately making
Real Estate a Career in 2006. The tide had just began to roll the market into a different landscape.
Instead of turning me away, it drew me in. 15 years in National and Local Advertising for major companies and
personal stock investments demonstrated opportunity in any market...it’s how to ride the waves. My extensive
background in advertising allowed a fresh approach to the market. Behavior patterns,
demographics and understanding statistics was a critical facet of my job. Facts don’t lie. They paint a
picture. Presentation and packaging add to the picture and can not be denied in today’s market as a
leading edge to compete and secure the key to your goal... Buying or Selling.
There is a Business model that can be customized for each situation, and it is a Business. It can be your
single largest investment. Emotions can ride high with any change, major investment, or new chapter in life. It’s my
job to assist in balancing the business with the emotions in obtaining your Goal.
17+ years ago, one of my three daughters had a stem cell transplant** from a baby’s umbilical cord for leukemia.
Adversity called for my Business perseverance and resourcefulness to expand. Negotiating with insurance
companies to cover medical care exceeding $1,000,000, often unprecedented coverage,
some new and considered experimental demanded skills “outside the box”.
Interfacing with Doctors, Hospitals across the country,
a network of other parents, research groups, and my own
quest to uncover all resources for the best treatment and options expanded and opened my views.
Most often, it was that one extra step, that one extra call, that one different approach that made the difference.
Bridging my advertising career with devoting time to my family, I wrote and self published a children's book.
It encompassed research, development, strategic planning, marketing and action to create a vision into a reality.
I take my experiences everywhere I go. It’s natural to relate with emotions that accompany a new
Chapter in your life...moving. My business approach blended with that thought allows me to help you cross the
bridge. When my family went through our challenging experiences for years, people I never knew appeared. I could
not repay all who helped but I could make a promise to pass it on and that promise I keep.
I have a passion for what I do .
