When Tim was 15 years old, he began saving his money earned from lawn mowing and by the time he was in his early twenties, he had saved enough for a small down payment on his first property. Tim remembered Petra telling him “the surest way to financial independence, is thru real estate ownership” and he was determined to achieve this goal. Tim’s first purchase was a modest 700 sq ft 2 bedroom 1 bath condo in the heart of Sugar House which he purchased for $106,000. After a year and a half, he sold the condo and with a healthy profit plus his original investment, Tim once again invested in the Sugar House area, purchasing his first single family home for $300,000. Tim worked hard to repair, update and modernize his home, and the reward paid off. Within three years Tim sold the property and moved his investment capital onto his third home which he purchased for slightly over $500,000. At t…
When Tim was 15 years old, he began saving his money earned from lawn mowing and by the time he was in his early twenties, he had saved enough for a small down payment on his first property.

Tim worked hard to repair, update and modernize his home, and the reward paid off. Within three years Tim sold the property and moved his investment capital onto his third home which he purchased for slightly over $500,000. At this stage Tim had become well aware of the power of Real Estate and his ability to increase his wealth. Now in his late twenties, Tim married his best friend and sweetheart Annabelle, who too was an accomplished real estate investor at an early age. Annabelle had also purchased a condo in her early twenties and made a nice profit off the sale. Together they chose to sell the current home, receiving over 10 offers and well over asking price as a reward for their hard work in taking good care of the home and keeping up on updates. As a result, Tim and Annabelle purchased their forth home, and now live in an over $1million home in one on Salt Lake City’s finest neighborhoods.
From the time Katarina was a child, she aspired to achieve two goals: become an Anthropologist and live in the Avenues of Salt Lake City. Katarina knew a good education was at the heart of success, but learning how to save money would be a near second! With a savings account in place, Katarina made it a point to set aside funds earned at babysitting, then her first real job at a local bakery and finally working as a barista in several local posh coffee shops. After graduating from the University of Utah, Katarina set out to achieve her second goal- home ownership. After previewing several homes, Katarina finally found the Perfect One; a 3000 sq ft duplex in the heart of historic Avenues. Of course, it was expensive and the odds of her being able to afford it was slim. Fortunately, a hefty portion of the mortgage would be counted as “rental income” and the deal was on. Katarina is in her …

Devon is the newest member to the client success stories. One year ago Devon purchased his first three bedroom/two bath condo in East Salt Lake City. Devon is a disciplined, hard worker, a full time student at the University of Utah and full time employee. He was determined to be among the first of his friends to own real estate. But the phrase “starving student” was never more accurate! Devin worked hard to save up a little down payment and then it was up to his Real Estate Agent and some fierce negotiating to make his dream come true. Barely squeaking by, his loan was approved and Devin would own his first condo. In order to maximize his investment, Devin invited two roommates to share his new digs and with the extra capital earned, he continued to save his money.

Petra met Thor and Karma in her early years in Real Estate. The couple owned a lovely historic home in Draper on an acre of land. Petra had interviewed with the couple in the hopes of representing them in the sale of their home. Regrettably, the decision was made to hire an agent with more tenure in the industry. Petra kept in touch with Thor and Karma and kept an eye on the listing. A year later, after no sale the couple selected another agent for their assistance; again no sale. After almost two and a half years, Karma called Petra. After a carefully designed marketing plan, interior furniture rearranging, artistic photo shoot, the home sold in 28 days. With the profits earned from the sale, karma and Thor purchased their dream home complete with pool in Sandy, UT and two investment properties, which generate monthly income while building future retirement wealth.

Every agent has their first client, and Jim and Cinda were Petra’s first.

Jim and Cinda then purchased a lovely estate in East Murray where Cinda implemented her interior design talents and five years later invited Petra to sell the home- It sold in one day for their asking price. Jim and Cinda have since purchased investment properties and built a custom home at the foothills of Salt Lake City’s East mountains.
