About Retta

The first class I took in 2000 hooked me! I love all aspects of real estate. After being an agent under two excellent mentors, I opened my own independent office in 2011 - R Realty. I wish I had been doing this my entire life, but was busy raising 6 children with my husband. My husband passed away in 2020 so now I have no demands at home and can list and sell and list and sell! I am active in the Afton Community Club and the Afton Development Corporation improving the lives of people in my town. I am designated a CRS (Certified Residential Specialist), SFR (Short Sales & Foreclosure Resource) and a GRI (Graduate, Realtors Institute). I write regular columns in the Afton Star Enterprise and the Creston News Advertiser. Red, the color of energy, is my favorite color. Favorite saying: "Ask a busy person if you want something done."
