Get to Know a Parks Agent: Glenda Victory
The Turner-Victory Team
42 Years of Experience
40 Years with Parks
When Glenda's children were born, she stopped working full time, but finances were always tight. Someone told her, "As much as you like to go to open houses, you should become a realtor," so she said, "Why not!"
She couldn't afford a sitter, so you piled the kids in the back of the station wagon to show houses, or they would go to open houses with her. Eventually, she became one of the highest female producers in Rutherford County.
She saw that the internet would be a gold mine for realtors, so she invested time in learning how to use it as a marketing tool. She received so many leads that her son, John, got his license and they continued to add agents to their team.
Twenty-seven years ago, she found the love of her life, Frank. THeir two pups, Snicker and Doodle, keep them young and laughing all the time.
