About Cindy

Welcome to my website! Thank you for taking the time to read a little something about me. :) Let's start with education... (because that's generally what people talk about first, right? ;) lol --- Well... Let's see. --- I have a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in Management & Marketing (Magna Cum Laude Honors) and two Master's degrees in Education (both of which I finished with 4.0 GPA's) ... And I don't remember a time when I wasn't craving an opportunity to learn and grow as a professional. My work history is pretty nuts. I've been selling real estate for 15 years while also serving the community as a school principal for 9 of those years ... and now I teach college and high school Business classes. I finished 2018 in the Top 9% of all Realtors in Grand Junction and surrounding areas, and now in 2019... BECAUSE I have the most amazing clients EVER, I'm currently ranked in the Top 4%. From my work as a School Principal (and as a Teacher), I've had the distinct pleasure and opportunity to become an expert regarding the school programming for our D51 schools in the Grand Valley. In June of 2015, I finally \"married\" my two careers into Colorado Real Estate Consulting & Educational Services, Inc. (or CRECES, Inc.)... which is a compilation of Real Estate Sales & Consulting and teaching Continuing Education Credit courses as well as the 168-hour Pre-licensing courses through a collaborative with the Real Estate Training Center. I also serve our community by teaching free Financial Literacy workshops and presenting at large community events, such as the Western Slope Economic Leadership Conference at Colorado Mesa University. I've always said that \"Education is my passion... Real Estate is my addiction.\" I'm also always saying that I \"get paid to make friends in real estate,\" because it's true. I've been told -- (lovingly, I think?) -- that I'm a \"bulldog in sheep's clothing.\" --- I'm not exactly sure if that is a compliment, but it's true that I'm fiercely aggressive when it comes to getting the best possible deal for my clients. For fun... I mountain-bike, ice-climb, snow-ski, hike, camp, fish, golf, Jeep, river raft, weight-train, scuba dive, and I love trips to Disneyland and Universal Studios. --- I also have an unquenchable love of photography... (which is important as a Realtor). Please feel free to call or text me at (970) 210-1161 or email me at Cindy@gjhomes.com [\"mailto:Cindy@gjhomes.com\"] for all of your real estate needs. You can also find me on Facebook at Cindy Paschal Ficklin... ... I would sincerely love the chance to earn your business!
