Hello, I'm Velda with McIlvaine Realtors. With over 30 years of real estate investing and brokerage experience, I bring strategic insight to every transaction. I started as an investor myself, gaining firsthand knowledge of buying, managing, and building wealth through real estate.
I hold two Master's degrees in Operations Management and Information Systems, with a corporate background in leadership and software development. Since retiring in 2018, I've focused full-time on real estate, combining my corporate experience, advanced education, and hands-on investing knowledge to guide clients strategically through buying, selling, and wealth-building opportunities.
